I am in loveeee....
With GLEE!!!
STAR WORLD just started airing the first season in Malaysia last week - so I guess we're super behind but I don't care because its fantabulous. I mean seriously, its caustic and witty and the cast can really, really sing.
Basically here's the premise: Dreamy high school teacher wants to revisit the heyday of his high school career - because lets face it his life, complete with batshit crazy wife kind of sucks - by forming a Glee Club (showchoir)with these misfits. There's Rachel, who is also batshit crazy - completely redeemed by the fact that she sings like an angel, Mercedes - black chick, Tina - Asian chick, Artie - wheelchair bound dude, Kurt - very effiminate sounding small dude and Finn - quarterback/singer/stupidest boy ever. There's also a whole bunch of awesome side characters, Sue - the evil cheerleading coach, Quinn the sexual but celibate cheerleader who is also Finn's girlfriend, the aforementioned batshit crazy wife who used to be prom queen and is now just sad and materalistic and Emma the OCD counselor who is not so secretly in love with Will.
It's good because it's very sharp in the way that it kind of deals with everyday problems and makes them laughable and yet makes us understand that these are things anyone can go through. The best part about it (aside from the singing) is how funny it is, which it is. Basically everyone is this caricature but its fantastic because its like the way you imagine how terrible and awesome high school is - in your head.
And the singing - WOW -its just glorious.
I mean check this video out, it was their first big song on the pilot - SONG ON PILOT I can't embed the bloody thing because for some reason they're like crazy protective over the content...
And this one which I just saw yesterday in the second episode:
This one I can embed - ha-ha!
Anyways as you can probably tell I'm in love with the teacher, Will aka Matthew Morrison. He can sing AND he can dance. Plus he's got smiley eyes and a thick crop of curly hair you just want to get your hands into. Yup I'm long gone.
