    I wish there was an option in between "Very good, but has flaws" and "S'ok, meh, don't care..."
    I reluctantly chose the former.

    I thought the first episode was brilliant, but the it seems to have gone a bit of-course in terms of season story arc.

    BUT it's a real feel-good show, I love the music in it, and the characters are amazing. So I think it could be much better, but it is something new and interesting! :D

    The music does my head in and makes me have zero interest in it.

    It's a very good show... but has major flaws!

    It's largely very well written.. but there's far too many horridly saccharine moments in there.

    The show is largely carried by Matthew Morrisson and especially Jane Lynch.. the performances from the kids are all decent, but they're far from too accomplished (even at the age they are). Actually.. no, I digress... the performance from Lea Michele (Rachel) is the best of the kids by a mile.

    For every superb musical scene in there, you get a terribly cheesy lip-synched number.

    It's not the best new season by a stretch.. great new shows are thin on the ground, but 'Modern Family' is 10 for 10 so far this season!

    If anything, I think the pure hype for 'Glee' will be it's downfall.. people may expect too much from it. It's light and fun entertainment, but that's it - it's ongoing storyline needs a kick up the arse in terms of progression!

    I haven't got around to watching it but the poll should be a 5 star rating system. :D

    I am going to do one for the Hills. :D

    Very good, but has flaws
    They sorted out the 2 terrible pregnancy storylines which were really pulling the show down. At the end of the last episode it suggested that Sue was leaving the show for a while which I hope doesn't happen. Jane Lynch is one of the best things in the show.

    After Community it's my favourite new show this year but this hasn't really been a classic year for new TV. There hasn't really been a break out hit.

    Its definitely one of the best new shows of the season

    I absolutely adore Glee. It is like going to a West End Show every week. I watched episodes 12 and 13 last night and I was just blown away by the performances by Mercedes and Rachel. I know it can be cheesey as f*ck but I dont care :D

    I chose "very good but has flaws". I really like it and find it enjoyable but the lip-synching is really distracting. Also, I don't think they are utilising all their characters well enough. There are a few Glee members that I don't think I've heard speak yet.

    Also, I think the show lost some of its darker humour since the pilot.
    Like when the soccer coach wiped his spit on Emma's car because he knew it would freak her out.
    Although I accept that the pilot is often a test-run and they could gave decided to tone it down since then.
