I owe Glee an apology

Few days ago I wrote that in order to enjoy the show, one must ignore the characters and not look for any kind of a plot. I was totally wrong. Seven eps in and I love every single character to death (except Mr. Schuester's wife, who I think we're supposed to dislike). And sure, okay, the plots aren't OMG DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AROUND EVERY CORNER, but there's still plenty of plotty stuff going on.

Most important of all, the show makes me happy. I don't understand it, I can't explain it, but even just thinking about it makes me smile. Part of it must be that it's about a bunch of outsiders in high school forming their own group and becoming happy themselves, but it's more than that.

Glee lives up to its name. Glee!

Okay, you've convinced me. I was looking for a series to start on after I've finished the last two seasons of West Wing, and this sounds like the perfect choice. It'll be nice, after sixty million episodes of "OMG, there's yet another global crisis and none of us White House staffers ever get more than 2.2 hours of sleep per week because we NEVER GO HOME!" to enjoy something without quite so much serious drama. Heck, I'd be happy just to see a scene that didn't include Secret Service guys lurking in the background. :D

Yay! I hope you like it! If handled differently, some aspects of Glee could count as "serious drama", but they keep everything nice and light. (Sometimes so light it's funny!)

It really is just so totally refreshing.

And! I need a new series after this one. Perhaps I'll try West Wing! :D
