Really good show :) I really like it how this show promotes music, and musical theatre, and really helps you know that being different isn't a bad thing at all! Nearly all the characters are likeable- it's unique too, I miss it now, but I rewatch it a lot! :) <3

Many people may say that "Glee" is a series full of clichés, but it is undeniable to ignore that glee is a series that needs to be seen, despite the fall in the seasons it has a message to be treated. When I saw glee right away I identified with the characters because they had teenage problems, so it made her so special. Give it a try, you'll like it!
