Okay, I have to admit it, after watching only 3 episodes of Glee, I was totally HOOKED! I’d seen the pilot episode last spring, but didn’t have time to watch any of the new episodes this fall. I stumbled upon one last week sometime (I honestly don’t remember the circumstances that led me to watch episode 8; I think I may have been bored and decided to watch it online), and then HAD to watch Wednesday’s episode. After that, it was official, I just had to watch them all! So, of course, I downloaded all the episodes that I hadn’t seen, and now, after watching them right after the other, I’m all caught up, and officially IN LOVE with this show!
I think it’s awesome that there’s a show out there that celebrates the differences between kids in high school! They do a great job of representing racial diversity, and each episode really hits all the right notes (pun intended). The storylines are compelling and the characters are well-written. The standouts for me are really Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester, and Lea Michele as Rachel. As I sit here, I cannot wait for Wednesday’s new episode, and may actually re-watch one of the ones I downloaded, just so I can get my “fix!”
