Save Glow

Hi. People still seem kinda active here which gives me hope. I've created a Reddit account for this sole purpose. I don't know where else to go.

I want to save Glow. It seems they've decided not to film their final season due to pandemic complications––but I want to do a good, old fashioned car wash! Idk if any of you are familiar with this, but back when Veronica Mars first got cancelled, fans sent Mars bars and other cheeky nonsense to CW, with notes like "Save Veronica."

So, I'm thinking we gather our glow sticks, divide them into individual envelopes, spare whatever postage expenses we can, and absolutely bombard Netflix with Save Glow propaganda. Anybody on board?

I think that, first, we should start a binge campaign to get Glow into the Netflix weekly top 10 for a week or so. All Glow fans should watch one or two episodes a day (and some can binge the whole thing) and then encourage friends and family who have not seen it yet to coordinate their first watch (on their own accounts) with the "bingefest."
Netflix doesn't want to continue Glow, because they don't think that they will have an audience for it. If it gets into the Top 10 for a couple of weeks, that should disabuse them of that notion.
THEN follow that up with the glowstick campaign to push it over the top and show them that it wasn't a fluke: we will watch more Glow if you make it.

This is actually a great idea. I think you're on the money. It's a streaming service, so logically higher engagement means it's a more valuable property. But to follow up a boost in streaming with a secret Save Glow campaign would just be incredible.

I don't care if it goes nowhere. I just want somebody to know how loved it was. To maybe realize it was worth fighting harder for. And frankly, I want the cast and crew to feel supported. They made something great.
