I haven't watched this show yet, but to the PP who thinks men can't be beauty experts--I'm a beauty writer for magazines and I would say most of the experts I regularly turn to for quotes in articles are men. There are, obviously, plenty of female hair and makeup artists, but men make up a fair amount of the industry.

It's ok but I'll keep watching for Kim C. Love her.

Also hooking up with other people is when I had to stop.....

Well, most viewers are enjoying it. Here is what Variety had to say: “Glamorous” nails the brief: a winning and earnest coming-of-age story furnished with silly gags that speak to its specific audience, like a consultant named Mykynnleigh (Nicole Power) whose idea of theater is Stomp. The glossy office farce has endured for good reason, putting a relatable quest for meaningful work in an escapist package. “Glamorous” tweaks the format to help it endure, preserving its joys for Gen Z’s viewing pleasure." - Variety https://variety.com/2023/tv/tv-reviews/glamorous-review-kim-cattrall-netflix-1235651292/

Sounds like you're not the target audience. I say this because it's doing really well.

The character is very annoying but I've seen so many guys like him when they're new to the scene and trying to navigate life. The mom is great though. It's okay for background while doing things around the house but definitely not going to be winning any awards. It sort of reminds me of Ugly Betty.

Exactly. I think his character is growing.

I had high hopes because I really like Kim cattrell but the main character. Marco is too much for me.... He's selfish and naive and whines about everything. I can't get past episode 4 so I have to bow out

That is the point. It's a coming of age comedy. People his age are selfish and naive..

I love it!

It's doing really well, too, so I'd watch a bit more and you might like it.

A 20 something is supposed to be stupid. Flaky, self-centered, entitled and whiny? I don't think so. Those characters were all so poorly written and I'm sorry there was nothing brilliant about that dialogue. Can you please give an example of it's brilliance?

I loved this show so much. The dialog is really brilliant but you have to pay close attention. And Kim Cattrall is amazing. Marco us exactly what a 20-something is supposed to be IMO….

Of course one guy can be a makeup expert, but building a premise around him as the savior surrounded by a heavily male team of makeup experts seems like an odd choice for a show.

I disagree with the PP that of course a guy can be the makeup expert. That said I just can’t get into the show.

When will whoever green lights projects realize that girls and women don’t appreciate a storyline that centers young boys as makeup and beauty experts?

Beyond the main character, the majority of the staff at the makeup/beauty company are gay men or queer women.

I’m all for lgbtq representation in tv. I’m not all for centering men as makeup experts.

I watched two episodes and thought the main character was unlikable. He makes gay men seem shallow and immature as well as hyper sexual.
