GLEE

There are many things about this show that make me like it, in theory. I like how it provides an outlet for kids with a more alternative taste in music to indulge in trashy pop culture.

However it does little to differentiate itself from just that.

Glee does as much for the under thought of sects of high school as Captain Planet did with the introduction of their disabled friend "Wheeler". Each student in the Glee Club is stereotypically perfect. The characters are hard to relate to, and perpetuate (as they highlight) only the negative stereotypes. I think that the character Kurt exemplifies this to its fullest extent. He acts how one would assume any young gay man (with a bit of money) should act.

This show is still a piece of pop culture dribble.
Don't let the choreography fool you.
