The premise of the show is the emergence of a glee club at William McKinley High School. It deals with the Glee club's struggle in gaining respect in the school and competing in tournaments. Social issues and drama are, of course, a part of the struggle. Fear of pregnancy, being handicapped and gay prosecution all are brought up.
I do not find what is so appealing about this show. It takes songs that were already good and amazing and redoes them with teenage singers. It's like an older Kid's Bop. The remakes aren't even that great either. I don't think their interpretations do the artists justice. The high school drama makes me want to vomit. Who cares about whose in the Glee club and how the cheerleaders are treating each other in some dumb show; I get enough of that crap at school. For these reasons, I give Glee a 4 out of 10 stars for at least being able to pick good songs to ruin.
They do pick good songs, I agree with you on that. But that's about all I agree with :) I am a GLEEK and actually, it was the only time that Liam would really dance around when he was in my belly- was when Glee was on. So we still dance to it now when we have afternoon "dance parties"! I am patiently waiting for them to do an entire episode of Bon Jovi music.
