## Production[edit]

Showrunner Aleksandra Chmielewska was inspired to create the series after reading a Polityka article by Anna Dobrowolska about sex work in the Polish People's Republic. Chmielewska stated, "In the first half of the Gierek decade, Poland opened up to the West. Foreigners began to come to us and pay in dollars... Women earned as much for one [sexual encounter] with a client as others earned for a month of working in an office. Sex work was one of the few, if not the only, ways to achieve financial independence. Sex workers were among the country's elite."[1]

The series was filmed in the Tri-City area, including Sopot, Orłowo in Gdynia, and Hala Olivia and Biskupia Górka in Gdańsk.[2][3]

## Reception[edit]

Joel Keller of Decider wrote, "Glitter makes a real effort to concentrate on its main characters instead of leaning on period clichés, and does so without judgement or a sense of kitsch. Because of that, the characters have room to breathe and develop, something you don’t always see on shows set in the wild '70s."[4]
