Glee
Today I was "in" the itunes store and I saw that episodes from Glee are avaible to buy.
Now maybe it's just me, but I really don't get what all the hype is for. I've got the first episodes of Glee (up until sectionals) and I've watched all of them, but when I was done I had the same reaction like I did to Sex in the City; "okay this isn't a bad show, and I'd watch it again, but I don't get what the hype is about".
Based on the premise, people singing and dancing around their school, you would think I would love it because I love musicals. But somehow this show doesn't translate into a show I have to watch.
Part of my problem is I find the characters annoying, they are too sterotyped for me to really like them, o be able to relate to them. The storyline also seems to be to thin in some areas for me. For instance between Rachel and Mr Schuster, when she got crush on him, it was built up and then forgotten about within 30 minutes. Or between Rachel and Puck. Or Finn's character, all I want to do is wack him because he's such a dope! He takes forever to reach the decision the audience wants him to reach. The only character I like is Sue, in part because Jane Lynch is such a good actress and in part because she's created as a character you love to hate, so of course she's doing outlandish things, that's because she's the enemy.
It's kind of weird to explain though why the show rubs me the wrong way, because what I dislike here, the thin and outlandish storylines, and the characters that don't seem to develop, don't bother me with other shows.
In fact, in Greys Anatomy, I feel as if there's too much time spent dealing with the character's personal lives. I would rather they go back to how it was the first season, where the cases were the main storyline and you got to know the doctors/interns better through how they handled the case.
And then there's Law and Order which will always have a place in my heart, haha. Although SVU is my fav of the 3 I can get sucked into any of them because you don't need to know the characters background. There is no real character development that goes on throughout an episode. It's all about the story. But by the same token, the characters do change little by little, but it's more that what they've experienced have changed them, which I think is true of how people in general develop. It's all based on a person's experiences and how they react to that situation that makes them into the person they are.
