With a few TV shows wrapping up their seasons, I figured I would throw my opinion into the hat. Glee is a show that most love or hate with very little middle ground. The show is from the mind of Ryan Murphy, who you may also know from his other shows Popular, and Nip/Tuck.
Glee starts off stronger than any show I had seen in a good while. The pilot was promising and I had high hopes. As the season went on it became a rollercoaster of emotions. My opinion varied from love to hate, and every point in between. At times it seemed like the music was the only thing holding me from never watching it again. Then at others times I found myself embracing the acting and story for that week’s show.
At the end of the day I know where the show is the weakest. The story on average is par at best. With story lines that emotionally upset me (False father Baby storyline and the fake pregnancy), I found myself not wanting to watch the next episode much less the rest of the one I was on. Yet something pulled me back in and I found myself watching it still.
With all things considered I found myself unsure about what I truly thought about Glee. The season finale started weak, yet finished extremely strong. After I watched the finale I had to seriously think about the whole picture the show gave me. For this show to survive the next season the writing will have to get much better. It would also not hurt for more emphasis to be placed on the students and the music they sing. I will say that I will watch the second season with little doubt and will do so because I want to see it, yet I will not recommend this show to many people.
Glee is neither bad nor great. It is an average show. I have hopes that the second season will be better, but I do not really care if it stays on TV or not as it stands.
VERDICT: SELL
