What the UK press said about Marc Maron in GLOW:
he is absolutely terrific in it… He can convey both cynicism and regret in a single look
Hadley Freeman, The Guardian
Marc Maron is brilliant
Christopher Stevens, The Mail on Sunday
one of the few current series that gives you a joyful inner warmth. That’s partly down to Marc Maron’s turn as the show’s misogynist director

played with winning disdain by Marc Maron

We love him as cynical director Sam Sylvia
Keith Watson, Metro
