AbielleRose Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Set within the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio, Glee follows the story of a group of high school misfits and their director/ Spanish teacher Will Schuester as their school's show choir New Directions! makes their way towards sectionals. This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. They couldn't have found a more talented cast to play the tough lead musical roles. Lea Michele (Rachel) has one of the most beautiful and powerful singing voices I have heard and the rest of the cast doesn't fall too deep into her shadow. I should be getting my copy of season 1 in the mail sometime early next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I love this show! It's great, with a lot of humour. I saw the pilot before Xmas and then watched it again with the next episode on Monday. The portrayal of the High School "caste" system reminded me of Buffy. Are American High Schools really like that? Everyone's so cruel! I was so glad when the football guy stepped in to save the disabled guy they'd locked in the portaloo. I like the main teacher guy - isn't his wife a nightmare? "I'm on my feet four hours a day, three days a week here!" And to deceive him how she is... Can't wait for the next episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I've only seen the first two episodes too but I'm addicted to it already I cannot wait for Monday night's now. I'm so glad there's 22 episodes! I know what you mean about the school system being similar to Buffy, particularly the cheerleaders They're always so mean. Although I love Sue.

Kimmy619 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I have only watched the first episode so far and I really enjoyed it. I need to watch the second episode which I have on Sky+. I recongnise the main girl in the glee club - has she been in anything before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recongnise the main girl in the glee club - has she been in anything before? As far as I know this is her first tv role as more than an extra. She did a few years on Broadway, though.

Kimmy619 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Maybe she just has a familiar face She has a great voice. Mind you, they all do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbielleRose Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 She does look like a younger version of Idina Menzel who played Maureen in Rent (both the Broadway and the movie version) and Elphaba in Wicked. The whole cast is crazy talented! The soundtracks are amazing to listen to because even though they are cover songs, they are almost as good if not better than the originals IMO.

MuggleMagic Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I've seen the first two episodes and really liking it Sue the cheerleading coach scares the hell out of me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm totally in love with Glee!! It's just easy viewing, non-offensive, happy tv I watched the first two episodes instead of revising the other day but now I'm impatient for the next one. I didn't like Quinn or the teacher's wife. I thought the cheerleader's coach was slightly deranged and the headmaster is crazy I love Kurt, he's so funny! The actress that play Rachel is brilliant and I quite liked Finn too. Hopefully as the show progresses we get to find out more about the other members of Glee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrongIslander Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Every now and then something comes along that I give a chance that I wouldn't usually watch, that show at the moment is Glee. I have to admit I'm really enjoying it at the moment but I have a nasty feeling it will be one of those shows that goes downhill very quickly. I hope I'm wrong.

Stephanie2008 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've listened to most of the songs now (thanks to Youtube ) so I might have spoiled the mystery but I don't care, they're great singers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
