Glee

GLEE- A new american tv series! I was skeptical when I saw the description- musical comedy of a high school show choir, also known as a glee club, set within the fictional McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. Hmmm... Is it going to be another High School Musical?
Nah... It's way better than HSM with more mature theme and more real- you don't have people bursting into songs in the middle of the street or things like that. Just the first episode, I'm already wowed by the music and craving for more. There's the usual sterotypical characters and a few neurotic characters like Will's wife, Terri and the fired gay school choir teacher which may not be likeable but make the show more interesting. The only issue I have with the casting is Cory as Finn who's 27 and acting as a student but Matthew as Will who's 30 acting as the teacher, they look more like brothers then teacher-student.
From the first episode, it seemed that the story would be about a group of underdogs or "sub-basement" fighting all odds and achieving something but I'm hoping that there would be more to that to give this series more depth.
This is a definitly must-watch for musical fans and a good cheerful show in the midst of the gloomy global situation.
