After all the hubbub that was the pilot of Glee being shown after my Kris Allen destroyed expectations in American Idol earlier this year, the expectations for the regular series was, you know, kinda up there.
With that, it's not bad. I'm still waaaay more into the show-choir reworking of awesome pop songs (I've accidentally heard that they'll be covering Keep Holding On by Avril -- ombombombombomb -- I can't wait.) The in-between stuff needs to find a better rhythm though.
Here's what's awesome:
Dianna Agron as Quinn. The queen-B cheerleader undercover spy juicy wicked girl. The one we're supposed to hate. I sort of love her.
Matthew Morrison as the lead. You couldn't possibly have a more likeable leading character, unless you cast Kris Allen. But Kris would be too short to play the lead. The fact that he originated Link in Hairspray on Broadway, which of course was later played by Zacquisha in the movie, is only awesomer.
Rachel mellowing out. Rachel is the most believable teen. At first I was annoyed by her as the too perfect, uptight, drama hag. But with this second ep, she's showing herself to be more of a -- can't help but express what she's feeling teen. I'm really happy that they went this way with the character.
Here's what's not awesome:
Will's wife. I hate when tv shows or movies give the main character an S.O. who is so obviously wrong for them to the point that it's just stupid that they are even together. At no point do we ever see why in the world Will, who is such a decent guy, would be with a drag like her. Or should I say it.
That's about it. Hmm... so just write Will's wife off the show. Stick him with Jayma Mays, who is adorable and move on. It's a subplot that show's no promise. What. So. Ever.
