The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling in GLOW are back and battling some seriously relatable issues. In addition to a ton of fantastic ’80s fashion, this Netflix series is full of all kinds of inspo on how to be a boss by knocking out your competition and becoming a champion—no matter who (or what) you’re up against.
So you wanna be a boss. Netflix and chill will yourself to get off the couch already. How to Be a Boss (According to Your Favorite Shows) is your excuse to binge all the TV you want. It’s career inspiration, right?
Ladiezzz and gentleman! Get ready because the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are back, and they’re battling some seriously relatable workplace issues. We’re talking: taking down the patriarchy in a bid for equality, fighting to find work-life balance, and smashing barriers to build a successful business—all of which proves to be an entertaining, and inspiring, matchup for the badass women of Netflix’s GLOW.
Sure, in the ring, taking care of business is as easy as a camel clutch or flying thrust kick. But in the real world, a choreographed fight doesn’t typically solve much. Yet season after season, Zoya the Destroya, Liberty Belle, and the rest of the GLOW gang have demonstrated that no matter who, or what, you’re up against, you’ve got what it takes to be an ultimate boss and emerge victorious. (No inverted full nelson slams necessary.)
