This show starts off like a rocket. It's fun. The musical aspect is fun and unusual. The characters are terrific. The cast of unknowns are terrific. It was set up for a good run. However I get the sense that Ryan Murphy was more interested in the music and the dance sequences. The show is more concerned with the guest star rather than playing with the characters. The stories for each character get worn out instead of build upon. The characters never really grew beyond their original intend. The writing took a backseat and Cory Monteith's untimely death harmed it noticeably. The show fades and the last few seasons are rather boring.
