Oh Poppycock.
You know, I watched a bunch of Glee when it came out, thought to myself, "Wow, this is pretty horrible" and stopped. But the pop-culture hive mind wouldn't let it go (plus my gay best friend loves it), and because I like to back up my hating of things, I kept keeping up with it, and catching up with it...
And now I'm one of these people who watch it despite its horribleness and has no idea why.
It's maddening because Glee is always this close to be actually interesting (like, it's got style and the cast is often pretty good), and then it punches you and takes your lunch money and runs away laughing maniacally. I guess that's why so many reviewers are so obsessed with it; if it was simply a shitty show, you could easily dismiss it, but it's...its own thing entirely. And then every ten minutes there's a line that's actually funny, and then there's dancing and singing and pretty colors.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.
