  • Hope it gets better!

    So I started watching glee around the middle of season 2 and after one episode I was hooked so before I watched the rest of the season I purchased season 1 because I was abit confused to what is going on and didn't want to spoil season 1 was even better I was absolutely addicted and became a full on Gleek, I just didn't think it was possible as don't stop believing was my favourite song and thought when glee released it just ripped the song apart but when I learnt the full meaning behind the song Glees version was my fav.....

    Anyways I now have seasons 1,2 and 3 and will not be purchasing season 4 what a load of s**t, why couldn't they just leave it the same our lives change so much everyday I just wanted something to stay the same (glee) and it had to finchel, no puck, no am going crazy lol but no in all serious when i Watch season 4 I find myself skipping past the new new directions and only watching parts with the old characters the original glee back I won't mind forgetting season 4 ever happened and out of magic all original glee cast are back at mckinely high.....



    No longer a gleek for life :(moreless
  • Glee has potential...

    6.0
    Like many people, I fell in love with Glee because of the music. With season 4, the director's seemed to be making more of an effort to tell stories through the music rather than just themed music episodes (ie. britney epsiode, episode, lady gaga episode etc etc).



    I am thrilled that Glee is trying to capture many issues that teenagers face in this modern world. But I am so disappointed with the follow up of these stories. Such as Marley's story. I understand that her eating disorder escalated because of a mean girl messing with her but the fact is, it did indeed become a major problem. But there was no follow up, nothing to show that Marley was getting better and working on this disorder. I think they might have shown that she was going to get counselling but what happened? It would be nice for viewers to be able to see that she was getting help and defeated her disorder. I think that many of the issues shown on Glee could help young people around the world if only they ended their stories better.



    Maybe some people might disagree with me but I just think that Glee could be great. It has huge potential. If they want to portray all these storylines then I think they really need to follow through with them to the end. Maybe they have too many characters, who knows? I would really love to see the show move to a whole new level for season 5 -- it could be great!moreless
  • 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
