Sticking with Netflix, but showing just how broad their spectrum of shows runs, we go from a psychological drama to GLOW, a comedy-drama based on the real life Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling series from the 80s.

G.L.O.W. rose to prominence in the 80s, a place for wannabe actors, dancers, models, and stuntwomen to have a shot at showbusiness, and become known for its over-the-top storylines and colourful characters.

Netflix are hoping to recapture that fun, and have a great team behind it: Orange is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan is exec producing, and another OITNB vet - Carly Mensch - is co-showrunning alongside Homeland's Liz Flahive. Even better than that, Community star Alison Brie is stepping into the ring in the lead role.

Premiere Date: June 23
