‘Glee’ becomes what is expected

November 9, 2011 — by Katherine Chang

With the beginning of the third season of “Glee” comes the expected: tension between Cheerios coach Sue Sylvester and glee club’s Will Schuster, relationship problems of Will Schuster, and seemingly random formations of new couples.

While the show has become slightly predictable, it hasn’t necessarily been a bad thing for the show. The production of each episode is spot-on in what viewers have been wanting. The characters grow within each episode and the acting has improved since the beginning.

While characters seem to be going through the same cycle of phases throughout their high school career, it’s the similarity to our own lives that makes the show so endearing. From Finn’s view of not knowing what to do in his future, to the driven Rachel Berry, determined to succeed, all these characters are traits we see in real high school life.

“Glee” tells the story of a “typical” high school: cliques, bullies, and most importantly, friendships. The close members of the glee club all stick together and sing their problems as they face outside complications and work together to achieve the winning title of the national competition for show choir.

The show has done extremely well and has earned six Emmy awards, five Satellite awards and four Golden Globe awards, all of which are well deserved. The soundtrack of the show was well done and has several songs on top music charts for the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Canada and of course the United States.

Although over hyped by the public as of recent, “Glee” can be counted on to be a show that will lift your spirits and put a smile to your face.
