Typically, members of the glee club are not exactly positioned at the top of the high school social totem pole. Luckily for the cast members of Fox's new series Glee however, there's no way you can watch an episode without cheering for the success of the glee clubs' eclectically combined misfits. The first season of the series has focused on the academic, social and personal challenges that the club members and their instructor, Mr. Shuester (Matthew Morrison) have all endured in pursuit of greatness for the “sectionals” competition.
With main characters that range from Quinn (Dianna Agron), the pregnant ex-head cheerleader with a secret, to the precociously over achieving Rachel (Lea Michele), there is someone to relate to for every viewer. If there is not however, the music certainly makes up for that absence. Unlike many other shows that use songs that may be created specifically for them, Glee manages to do the opposite by acknowledging that pop culture is heavily influential on their viewing audience and incorporating the same songs that we listen to on the radio everyday with a personal spin by the show's characters.
The best attribute of Glee however, is its relate-ability factor. Almost everyone can feel out of place once in a while, and the characters manage to be that relatable companion while maintaining a comedic and entertaining perspective. My overall consensus of the show is that it is worth the watch and it will certainly leave you coming back for more.
