Drama drama drama! Glee
Jun. 1st, 2010 04:31 pmOkay, so, caught up on Glee. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
libekory and I agreed that we like this show 50% for the music numbers, and 50% for Sue Sylvester. When we started watching, the first thing we said to each other was, "You know, I like this because it doesn't take itself too seriously!" It was like 30 Rock: everyone was so completely absurd that you just laughed at them all the time.
...halfway through the season that changed. Everything became very serious and dramaful. Are there still humorous statements and cracky absurdity? Yes, but. Now everything is very Serious, too. We're not enjoying like -- any of the plotlines. For instance:
( Cut for spoilers for pretty much every plotline in the last two episodes. )
At some point everyone's drama started taking over the show. And there's been LESS Sue and LESS awesome musical numbers. (They're flashier, with bigger budgets, but Li is upset over synthesizers, FYI.) I miss when it was 30 Rock, but with musical numbers: when everyone was a ridiculous caricature and I could just have fun with it.
