Amazon.co.uk Review
Few shows bottle pure delight like Glee, a TV series about the ups and downs of a high school glee club, or show choir. The show lures you in with its musical numbers, a mix of classic rock and Broadway show tunes performed by a cast of marvellous singers and dancers--but what keeps you watching are the wonderful characters, ranging from Rachel (Lea Michelle), whose self-obsession is as uninhibited as it is annoying; to Emma (Jayma Mays), a germ-phobic guidance counsellor hopelessly in love with a married teacher; to Kurt (Chris Colfer), a cherubic young gay man who discovers he's got a fantastic football kick. The centre of the show is Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), the earnest Spanish teacher of McKinley High School, who's determined to guide the glee club to victory at a national competition. He sees this collection of overemotional misfits as heroic, but they're looked down on as losers by the rest of the school--especially Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Best In Show), the ruthless cheerleading coach who will stop at nothing to destroy the glee club before they can take even a fraction of her extravagant budget. Glee fuses adolescent soap opera, the comic pettiness of academic politics, and exuberant song and dance. (While it would be better if the songs weren't so glossily produced, it's impossible to deny the pep and talent of these young performers.) Somehow, the characters manage to be cartoonish yet multidimensional; even the nicest characters are capable of being jerks and the most manipulative have moments of sympathy or grace. For example, Will's wife, Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig), fakes a pregnancy because she's afraid Will is about to leave her for Emma--but as absurd as this scenario is, it's carefully grounded in enough moments of desperate yearning that it becomes completely compelling⦠particularly when Terri seizes on the unwanted pregnancy of lead cheerleader Quinn (Dianna Agron) as the solution to her problem. Throw in vividly coloured costume designs and blisteringly funny rants from Sue, and it's easy to see why Glee became an unexpected hit. Volume One: The Road to Sectionals collects the first 13 episodes, along with a smattering of extras that range from charming (the principal leads the audience on a tour through the school) to inane (bland factoids about the actors' favourite colours). --Bret Fetzer

 a bit bothersome July 22, 2010

Fantastic of course as it's Glee...however, one episode would not play amd so this takes a star off. Couldn't be bothered with the hassle of returning, so will have to wait til the repeats to see Sue help run Glee :(
 JUST THE DVD TO SUIT June 21, 2010

Feel Good Family Fun! June 20, 2010
Hollie (UK)
I can't believe I'm reviewing this. I can't believe I'm giving it 5 stars. Trust me, this is far from my typical viewing. The only reason I've even seen it is because it was on when nothing else was. But against all the odds, I kept going back for more.
Glee makes no pretentions about what it is. It's feel good family fun, plain and simple. And yet it manages to tackle important issues like teenage pregnancy, homosexuality, and corruption in a non offensive and almost light hearted manner, allowing you to absorb the situations gently while distracting you with song and dance.
And the song and dance is really something here. Not only do they keep up to date with modern pop and rap music, but they have managed to revive some old classics, Journey in particular must have gotten a decent rise in sales since this series started. And as I was already a rather big Journey fan to begin with, that can't but help put a smile on my face.
So obviously this must be recommended to all fans of musicals and high school comedies, but even if you're not a fan of either, Glee is much more than just a guilty pleasure, it's a damn entertaining show.
Great Fun! June 17, 2010

Enjoyed watching it on TV, bought the DVD so I could watch it over and over again. A great 'pick me up tonic' on a miserable day!
