I tried so hard to like Glee. I actually really enjoyed the first season with its over-the-top humor and interesting cast of characters. Then the second season came out, and I got the feeling that what had previously been intentional stereotypes and satire, now was unintentional. But maybe hey were trying to be offensive on purpose? They had with the first season, and it often worked (to me, at least). But this seemed sincere, and therefore extremely problematic. Still, I persevered, and even when the third season brought unheard of levels of undisguised prejudice and heavy-handed morality tales within the same hour, I watched, because despite characterization issues, I still loved the members of Glee Club and wanted to see them succeed. By the time the season had ended, I felt....wounded, and a bit betrayed by the creators who had taken good characters and made them a mishmash of offensive stereotypes. Double standards were the rule, not the exception.

Still, I looked forward to the new season, hoping against hope it might improve with the departure of some of the core members. I wondered how they would handle both the Glee storyline and the New York storyline. Despite my hopes, I watched what could have been such a GOOD show writhe in its death throes, with completely unrelated stories for some reason being jammed together simply because the creators wouldn't let go of their clear favorite character. Meanwhile, the audacity and spectacle of some of the things in the high school story contrasted sharply with the depressing mess that was the "Rachel and Kurt in New York Show".

Finally, watching Blaine have an emotional breakdown on stage was the last straw. I couldn't stand what was happening to him. His character was nice and friendly despite being a bit too perfect at times, and his boyfriend was breaking his heart. Then, because it would be impossible for Kurt to do any wrong, Blaine's character was completely derailed into that of a cheater. WHAT? It's too much. I loved Kurt at first, and now he is this over-the-top perfect Gary Stu...monstrosity. I hated Rachel from the start, but now she is such a bad person that I don't believe she could ever deserve a happy ending. Yet for some reason Glee refuses to let the two of them go, or admit that they are anything but perfect.

After the Breakup Episode, I officially said goodbye to Glee. I only wish I had given up sooner, like after the second season, to save myself from the heartbreak of seeing what had started so well ruin itself so completely.

TL;DR GLEE WAS GOOD AT FIRST, BUT IT DIDN'T LAST AND I AM SO SAD BECAUSE OF HOW AWFUL IT IS NOW.

I haven't watched any of this season; I didn't watch the finale of last season, and I was going to watch it so I could be ready for this season, and I just forgot and forgot, and now it's been like five episodes or so that I missed.

Your comment makes me kinda glad.

(Although, to react to the secret, I love the covers. If the show was zero plot and just them singing covers for fifty minutes, I'd be on that like a raccoon in a Logan's Roadhouse dumpster.)

I'm just here to completely agree with you. Except for "Rolling in the Deep." That song was the first one I literally couldn't sit all the way through.

I liked that one okay. I find myself side eyeing the actual show tunes they use. It's all modern stuff (except for West Side which I was yay about). Where's the Damn Yankees or Seven Brides? LOL

I couldn't even make it through the first season, dude. I really really wanted to like it too...but I just couldn't deal with the split personality. The over-the-top 'humor' made the pathos unbelievable, and the angst soured the silliness. If it could have just chosen one I might could have stuck with it...but no. MASH may have been successful mixing drama and comedy, but most of the shows that try to follow the formula suck hard. Sigh.

Also, I love the Will that the characters on the show seem to see and interact with, but loathe the one that the audience actually sees.
