GLOW

    Glow is a show on Netflix that describes the life struggles of Ruth Wilder. She's an actress that can't seem to find her next acting role but surprisingly,  jumps at an opportunity given to her that's slightly different than what she's used to.

    The opening of the series have wrestling figures in the back so I assume there's plenty of action. However, the start of the episode started with Ruth auditioning for a role, so I figured that the wrestling would come later on in the show if she was auditioning for a role instead of wrestling. Next, Ruth is shown waiting in the bathroom while the person who auditioned her walks in. She asked how her audition went, only to be shut down. The kind woman does however offer her another opportunity later on. By that point, Ruth was ecstatic, she was finally going to find a role to play.
    The following day, Ruth arrives to the building she was instructed to go to but when she gets there, the director says that they'll be wrestling! But wait, she's an actress, what would she be doing wrestling? She then asks the director, Sam Sylvia, if they're going to be playing as wrestlers or actual wrestlers. The director doesn't really help much by saying that he doesn't really know and sends her off.
    While Ruth is still trying to figure out how to pay her bills, a guy climbs through her window. Ruth becomes frantic and angrily tells him to leave. She tells the mysterious man to leave and go to his family because he's a married man but little did I know he was more than just mysterious, he was the husband of someone close to Ruth. Through the night, one thing led to another and the mysterious man did not leave that night
    Next, Ruth is back at the wrestling auditions and convinced another woman to do something outside of the instructions hoping that they'll work in her favorite. To my surprise, the exact opposite happened and resulted in Sam cutting her from the auditions. Ruth puts up a fight but eventually leaves in defeat. 
    Finally Ruth watches wrestling videos of Hulk Hogan in hope of discovering new moves to reclaim a spot in the auditions. The next day she walks into the auditions building dressed as a wrestler and walks in the ring doing “wrestling” moves. Sam just watches from the balcony as Ruth continues her stunt. Until, her best friend, Debbie Egan walks in extremely livid. To my confusion, Debbies enters the ring and tries to face Ruth. Next, Debbie asked Ruth, “Did you sleep with him?” Then, it finally started to click. Ruth had slept with her best friend's husband and Debbie wanted revenge. Ruth tried to run away but Debbies grabbed her and slammed her on the floor of the ring. While they were struggling, the camera goes to Sam, with a slight smurk on his face.
    Even though Ruth struggled to find another acting gig, she finally did. As a downfall, she tried to be different and had a set back instead. Luckily, she did not let that stop her, she came back and attempted to win the director over. In the midst of that, she best friend discovered her scandalous act and wanted nothing else to do with her felt. On the contrary, her best friend storming in there was the reason the director reconsidered Ruth appearing on the television show. Ruth was persistent and I really liked that about her. Despite the fact she made a mistake by sleeping with her friend's husband, if she hadn't, Debbie wouldn't have stormed in there for Sam to even reconsider her being apart of the show. Therefore, mistakes may make up for themselves and always keep trying and never give up on something you're passionate about.
