Glee

Glee (stylized in all lowercase) is an American musical comedy-drama television series that aired on the Fox network in the United States from May 19, 2009, to March 20, 2015. It centers on the fictional William McKinley High School glee club, the New Directions, which competes on the show choir competition circuit.

Plot
The series centers on a high school show choir, also known as a glee club, in the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio.Will Schuester takes over the glee club after the former teacher Sandy Ryerson is fired for inappropriate contact with a male student. With a rag-tag group of misfit teenagers, Will attempts to restore the glee club to its former glory while tending to his developing feelings for his co-worker, guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury, as well as defending the glee club's existence from the conniving cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester. A major focus of the series is the students in the glee club: their relationships as couples, their love of singing and desire for popularity coming into conflict due to their membership in the low-status club, and the many vicissitudes of life in high school and as a teenager.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Rachel Berry can very annoying, unlikable and extremely petty at times, such as the time she quit Glee Club all because Will didn't give her a solo that she wanted and especially when she temporarily ended her friendship with Santana, just because she wanted to be her understudy.
 * 2) *Besides Rachel the other characters can sometimes be unlikable as well.
 * 3) The show's handling of serious issues comes across as rather hamfisted, like something out of an afterschool special.

 * 6) It can be a little mean-spirited at times
