It use to be something that I look forward to watching every week. It helped me get through a lot of things, but this season has really discouraged me and not just because my favorite OTP aren't together anymore. I'm going to miss the old glee.

Season 4 was good, not the best but good. I mostly just watched it for the original cast. I just don't have a connection with the new members of New Directions like I did with the originals. Hopefully I see them in a different light in the new season.

The show used to be good. However I do not like the show showing that being gay is ok and shoving it in my face. I do not support that. I'm not saying that I do not like the person just the life style they decided to live
