The mirror has pretty faces. (Image via Netflix) I shouldn't have liked Glamorous, the new fashion-fueled Jordon Nardino rom-com on Netflix that centers on a femme-presenting young guy (YouTube star Miss Benny) who lands a dream job working directly for a beauty-biz legend (Kim Cattrall) ...
but I mostly ate it right up. Yeah, I'm sure this wasn't on purpose. (Images via Netflix & 20th Century Fox) The series is not super deep or realistic, but if you were charmed by Cattrall in Mannequin (even though it was no Splash) and/or if you enjoyed Ugly Betty (even though it was no The Devil Wears Prada), you may be as satisfied with Glamorous as I was.
It is, after all, a tremendously queer series, an engaging ring-light comedy and filled with pretty people, colors and messages.
Miss Benny is Marco Mejia, a flopping beauty-channel influencer who works at a makeup counter, where he winds up waiting on ex-supermodel Madolyn Addison (Cattrall), now a famous beauty brand founder of Glamorous by Madolyn.
