  • First two seasons - outstanding. Second two seasons - insitting?

    8.0
    Alright, I just made that word up, but I needed one that was the complete opposite of outstanding. So, when I first watched the first season of Glee I absolutely loved it. I loved the characters, who were all so intriguing and fabulous, I loved the humor, which was put in the show perfectly, the drama that never failed to stick me to my screen, the plots, which were all so intriguing and fascinating... and the season 2 didn't disappoint me either. It all got better, actually. The relationships became better too, and I got my first OTP (one true pairing) - Tike (Tina and Mike). I was fascinated, and I thought that season 3 was going to be even better. But it failed. Sure, the acting was still amazing as always, and the music got even better if possible, but these new characters were just awful. I absolutely hated Shane and that bitch Roz. And the main characters changed for worse too. They lost their spark. But, what really disappointed me were the plots - they became so one-dimensional and just plain. Glee completely lost its spark. But then, season 4 came. And I started disliking Glee even more. Music and acting, as always, are still fantastic. The plot got kind of better, but the characters - awful. The main cast was okay, but the new characters - Marley, Jake, Ryder, Kitty, Unique, Brody - awful! These characters completely ruined the show for me. But, I try not to focus much on the last two seasons and I'm still hoping that Glee will become better in seasons 5 and 6. It's always going to be my second favorite show (right after Friends) and I'll never forget it. But it really needs to improve its plot and characters! And the new relationship also pretty much suck, but I think that sort of goes under the characters category. The two thumbs down are from my previous Glee review, and now I changed it, so don't mind them.



    Edit: I also forgot to say that the humor disappeared completely in season 3. They should bring it back and stop all the drama. There's too much of it.moreless
  • Not very good...

    5.0
    This used to be the best show ever. I'm serious. Unfortunately, even the best shows can turn bad in a matter of seasons; I was willing enough to watch Seasons 2 and 3, but now on season 4 I can hardly stand to watch.

    I know this show has done amazing things for some people, and I'm not denying that at all. The original purpose of the show was to provide a safe and informative place for teens and preteens without shoving it down their throats, and season one hit this goal exactly on target. Its main theme revolved around Quinn's baby and the uncertainty of Finn and Rachel's relationship, and did so in a humorous yet thought-provoking way. The show allowed the watcher to make inferences and connect details for themselves, while raising awareness of gays, teen preganancy, bullying, etc. It was an amazing show with awesome characters and I really loved it.

    Fast forward to season 4. After a few good and a few bad episodes during seaons 2 and 3, I didn't exactly know what to expect of the new storyline. I liked Rachel's new life in New York, I wasn't sure about the new cast of characters and such, but I was willing to give it a try. Bad idea. Week after week I would watch the show hoping it would get better, but it didn't. The writers decided to replace the old, grown-up cast of McKinley High with the exact same stereotypes. Here are how they did this:

    Finn=Ryder

    Mercedes=Unique

    Puck=Jake

    Quinn=Kitty

    Rachel=Marley

    The list goes on. I was only interested in the old character's new lives, not the new cast carrying out the would-be lives of the same sort of people. I know this is harsh, but Glee has been putting together increasingly poor attempts to address every single issue they haven't already covered- dyslexia, internet dating, prostitution, sex abuse, blah blah blah. Instead of cleverly incorporating this into the storyline, they blatantly broadcast these ideas through the mouths of the now one-dimensional characters. They treat the watcher like a horse at a lead rope- here, here is one idea. Let me smush this into your brain. Here, this is another idea.... You get the point. Everything is so obvious and cliche that I'm growing sick of it. People don't just turn "not gay" just like they don't just suddenly become gay, but Glee no longer seems to recognize this. A once brilliant and inspirational show, they now are resorting to all the old cliches and stereotypes you'd expect of a show of much lower quality. Besides, the humor just isn't there anymore.

    For people who are considering watching Glee: Start with season one, NOT four. It's up to you to continue the show, but I would definitely reccomend season one to anyone who's looking for a few laughs and wants to listen to awesome music. Season 4's music is boring, but season one definitely has a better soundtrack of non-preachy music and fun characters. For the most part, this show is very good.moreless
  • GREAT SONGS

    9.0
    MILLION dollar Q? Wondering if they will ever do Karen Carpenter songs? And Mean Stevie Wonder songs tonite..
  • Just, what happened?

    Where do I even start! Glee was my favorite show, you know during the first and second season. Glee lost everything I've ever loved about it! For example the warblers, vocal adrenaline, the tribute episodes, great covers on old songs that are popular, the actual plot (Empowering The Underdogs), and character development! Why are they still talking about Rachel and Kurt, don't get me wrong I "loved" the characters but now they are getting annoying! Hello! Why is this still the Rachel Berry show when Finn was the original main character! I like how the "oldies" are still in the show but since most of them are in college the show should try to be a little realistic. They only should come during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or end of the school year episodes. I hate the new characters considering they're just like the old ones. I mean I liked Ryder at first until they ruined his story line with the online girlfriend thing and totally regarded this dyslexia problem! Speaking of story lines they ruined, when was Quin a lesbian! And I don't even want to mention Klaine! Season 2 was my favorite with the warblers and Klaine but they ruined it because Kurt would've never cheated on Blaine, nor Blaine cheat. The songs were still amazing through season 3, but season 4 is sucking right now. I liked Marley's original song "Outcasts", the "New York State Of Mind" duet, and a couple others, And why did they get rid of Rory! How come Sugar and Samuel are never in glee club anymore? I loved Brody until of course they ruined him by making him a male prostitute. Marley had a great story line until they made two guys fight over her and why isn't that she is poor but wears expensive clothing, some characters wear the same outfits but the poor girl has a new one every week. The show is so unrealistic!moreless
