"Melanie Rosen" is the only misfire on the show


Pretty good show! The only character I can't stand is Melanie - I find her lines, jokes, and delivery extremely weak. She takes me out of the show all the time with her sub-par acting. All of the other girls (even the weak actresses) are able to stand on their own.

*edit*

I'm a few more eps. in. I wanted to add the writing is getting weaker and weirder as I progress and I can't let Melanie take the full blame. It's already fallen into the, "Netflix" show where things are just - weird. Uneven. They keep cutting scenes that I suppose are supposed to be ending on strong comedy notes - but they aren't funny enough to warrant the cut. So my wife and I just end up staring at each other quizzically like, "WTF was THAT?". Alison and Marc are carrying the entire weight of the show now.

*edit*

Oh God - the "Glow rap" with the terrible, overwrought orchestral-music swelling like this is supposed to mean something or fire me up lol. Stranger and stranger...

I believe the glow rap is the actual rap they used in real life. It's not.meant to fire you up....the GLOW was a low budget wrestling show....

Not the rap - it was that pitiful attempt from the orchestral music to illicit emotion from the viewers. That scene just fell flat on its face.
