GLOW
In short, the protagonist has
two axes in the plot: her
journey to become a
recognized actress and her
troubled relationship with
former best friend Debbie,
played by Betty Gilpin. The
only really well-developed
trait in Ruth is her almost
pathological
insecurity,
partly a result of self-
esteem undermined by
professional
contempt.
Ruth suffers to pay the bills,
suffers from the mediocre
job
opportunities
and
suffers from the complicated love choices. The young woman fucks
Debbie's unsalted husband, Mark (Rich Sommer), after vicious
perversions that only result from a peak of insecurity in the girl's life. It
is a premise that guarantees humanity for the protagonist: she is not
simply someone who misses or hits, but someone who has a
background and is fallible as every human being on a greater or lesser
scale. The problem is that this does not evolve at all. The relationship
between Ruth and Debbie orbits around Mark, a subject extremely
unattractive physically and intellectually, from the first to the last
episode.
