A Lousy Ending: GLOW (2017-19)

The entertainment industry is risky for all involved.  Prior to 2020, the greatest risks were being fired, cancelled, unable to secure work.  Or worse: keeping some sexually deviant waste of existence from getting their hands on someone's body.  Come 2020, a pandemic and irrational unrest created new risk factors for production.  Tragically, GLOW became one of these casualties of COVID-19.  Per Deadline, pandemic risks increased the already-pricy production as much of the series features contact action and stunts.  GLOW was in process of taking episode 2 of its 4th and final season when production was shut down.
