Venetia observes that Marco is “flopping like a Katy Perry single” in his first week on the job a vacation episode plays out in Provincetown and culminates with a lip sync competition. The queer themes of “Glamorous” manifest in everything from its offhand jokes to its core conflicts. (Another trait “Glamorous” shares with “Emily in Paris” is its open embrace of capitalist excess.) Marco finds himself in a classic love triangle between Ben (Michael Hsu Rosen), a sweet nerd who works in product design, and Parker (Graham Parkhurst), a finance bro he meets in an Uber en route to the Hudson Yards Equinox. Her son Chad (Zane Phillips), the bro-y head of sales who craves his mother’s approval, explains that he’s “gay, but not, like… gay.” Her first assistant Venetia (Jade Payton) happens to be bi, but spends most of her time concerned that she’s spent three years at the company without a promotion. Almost all of Madolyn’s employees, Marco included, are queer, an identity that affects their respective arcs to varying degrees.

Model-turned-makeup-mogul Madolyn Addison shares some key characteristics with Cattrall’s Samantha Jones she’s a high-powered professional with a commanding air and witty charm.

The careerist of today wants to be a prestigious brand, though they’re happy to learn from their forebears in the meantime. The careerist of yesteryear wanted to work for a prestigious brand. Like that show’s namesake, Miss Benny’s Marco Mejia is also an aspiring influencer, with a pragmatic hustle and blithe narcissism both born of social media. Originally ordered to pilot at the CW, one can see why “Glamorous” also appealed to Netflix it’s a close cousin of “Emily in Paris,” the Lily Collins comedy that’s a hit elsewhere on the service. But “Glamorous,” created by “Smash” and “Desperate Housewives” alum Jordon Nardino, eschews its genre’s traditional milieu of media and publishing in favor of beauty and makeup.
Now, there’s “ Glamorous,” the new Netflix show that casts former YouTuber Miss Benny in the Andy Sachs role as an ambitious ingenue with lots to learn.
