Inspired by the actual 1980's Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, GLOW is one of Netflix's most understated originals. Humourous, sweet, and deeply feminist, it follows a hodgepodge team of women who put together wildly exaggerated characters and gimmicks to attract viewers for their wrestling show. As it's progressed, the series hasn't shied away from unpacking the stereotypes from the original Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Over three seasons, we learn more about Sunita Mani's Arthie and Ellen Wong's Jenny. Both Arthie and Jenny push back against their characters' broad racial stereotypes about Asians (their aliases are, respectively, "Beirut the Mad Bomber" and "Fortune Cookie"), and they genuinely develop meaningful relationships with the other women on their team as well.
