10. Mother Of All Matches - GLOW

GLOW Season 2 was bigger, bolder, and better than Season 1, and it did a great job of balancing the leotards and in-ring action with genuinely emotional storytelling and character work.

The fourth episode, Mother of All Matches, is a brilliant example of everything GLOW is about. The parallel storylines follow Welfare Queen and Liberty Belle in the build-up to their huge showdown, contrasting their differing experiences of being parents: Tammé couldn't be prouder of her son, who is off to college, while Debbie struggles with juggling work and being a single parent.

It all comes together in the ring, which not only features some quality action but takes a really poignant turn by the end in a riveting piece of character-based drama.
