A show to Love

gLee! It's a amazing! At first glance it may seem like a spinoff of HSM, but it's way better! It starts with this teacher, Mr. Schuester who decides the take on the project of the Glee club, after they lose their former teacher to weed. He is determined to make that club the champion of the school. After auditions he realizes that he needs a strong male lead, and this is where he does the first of questionable things, he recruits Finn, the quarterback by saying he found drugs in his locker!
Mr. Schuester strives for survival of the club and meets resistance from multiple levels while having to deal with some real personalities. Every group has a diva and in this there's two. Rachel, who seeks the limelight and makes daily updates to her MySpace page showcasing her talent and Mercedes, who is a Beyonce and not the destiny's child. Finn, the guy who likes to sing but is afraid of what others in the high school caste system my think or say. There's also Tina, the emo stutterer with low confidence, Kurt the fashionably gay guy and Artie, the kid on wheels who is musically talented. Of course we can't forget Sue Sylvester (40 year old virgin), who is the coach of the Cherios, and definitely a little crazy. She brings the randomness to the show.

Relationships. Every show has them, while Mr. Schuester is married he is involved is some romance himself. Emma, the germaphob guidance counselor has a major crush on him--and while neither of them really try to do anything about it they have their moments. In my opinon it could be classified as an escalated Jim/Pam situation. The second romance arises between Finn and Rachel--the queen of Glee, who gets some kind of drink spilled on her everyday. The problem here is that at first Rachel is fully into Finn although he's dating the head cheerleader Quinn. Well when Rachel helps Finn with his skills after Mr. Schuester plans to quit when he finds out that his wife is pregnant and they will need a higher income, they end up sharing a kiss that leads to an amazing perfomance by Lea Michele as Rachel singing "Take a Bow." And no lie its way better than Rihanna's version, how sad is that.
With all the comedy and minor drama and amazing talent it's hard not watch!
