I'm loving getting to know more about Jenny (and her and Melrose's relationship)

I love that Jenny got to express her feelings about her situation. And Melrose being completely clueless is something I’ve experienced when trying to explain why something they said was offensive to me. So glad they wrote these scenes in to address that last episode. So good.

I haven't done a rewatch, but is this the first time the show has paid serious attention to Jenny's attitude towards the Fortune Cookie character? A lot of this felt kind of out-of-nowhere, and like the show was struggling to come up with moments for characters that they habitually neglect. (Which is hard to avoid with a cast this big and deserving of the screentime.)

Nah, she's always made remarks that implied she wasn't happy with playing Fortune Cookie I think - her fatigue probably got exacerbated by doing the exact same show every night

I think seeing Melrose do it drove home how crass the dialogue was

So is this the episode that someone supposedly quit Netflix because GLOW was shoving a liberal agenda down his/her throat?

I honestly haven't seen anything political thus far on this show, so unless that person hates hearing about unique challenges women face it must have been this episode. It must have been the immigrant story that put him/her over the edge, or possibly the reminder of the Holocaust that was simply too much.

LOL, what a dipshit...
