I know it's a weird time for this. Glee is heading into its...ummm...3rd? 4th? 5th season? Something like that. I don't know. And one of its stars, Corey Monteith, OD'd a couple of months ago.
But for some reason I started watching the first season the other day (thanks, I think, Amazon?)
I am HATING myself for this. Not because I'm not a soap opera type, but just because it's, frankly, obnoxious.
The only characters I feel any ability to sympathize with are Sue Sylvester's sister, Kurt's dad, and Finn's mom.
That's it.
The others are ALL irritating. I didn't have time for people like that when I was in high school.
The worst part is that the final episode of the season is the only one in which any of the characters seem to have shown any actual genuine character growth, and from having caught bits and pieces of other seasons, I really think it's NOT actually genuine.
UGH.
Just... UGH.
Anyway... the reason I'm watching?
The music. I love so much of the music. Except for Gaga & Madonna (but I kind of like Madonna, a little, at least her earlier stuff).
So, there you have it. Crap show, great music. I like the lessons they're trying to impart, but... I don't really think they're actually *doing* it. I really don't.
Just sayin'.
