This is an easy question to answer. Do you like musicals? If so, then you will probably like it.

I hate musicals so I have not bothered watching Glee. I am certain that I won't like it. And I'm fine with that.

Same here... I wish I could delete it from view in Netflix entirely. I tried and didn't like, so I rated down but I still see it and other things I've already decided I didn't like.

Dear Netflix,
If you could hide all shows from any list that I've rated 1 star I would be very grateful. I know it wouldn't be easy, but it'd be phenomenally useful.

Instead of 1 star, click Not Interested and it will hide them.

I don't like musicals but they do some more modern music and they're good singers

add in some comedy and it's a good show

I might have to catch the marathon on Oxygen this weekend. I keep hearing great things about this show.

I like it. But then, I like musicals (too many female friends who drag me to more musicals than any heterosexual male should be subjected to).

Produces a lot of pretty high-quality covers (and some terrible ones). I was really sad Idina Menzel & Kristin Chenoweth didn't sing "Defying Gravity" together though :(

Watch it for the music and talent, there are some good actors in there but the a lot of it can be dull.

I like musicals that aren't overly cheesy.

i watched the britney episode so that I can see chicks in schoolgirl uniforms dance. I think that's every episode though.

I just listen to the music. If I watch it's for the music.

You might be into or not into the drama. It doesn't matter. Not really for adults. Younger people will love it. A lot of my college friends are into it. I think some of the better episodes are the ones where they perform so theres dancing and singing. Otherwise the other episodes can be a hit or miss.

I have only seen a handful of episodes, but I have all the songs. Just get the songs :D

i do like musicals.

i don't like fake or bad rehash of musicals though.

just because you like a band doesn't mean you like the freakin cover band.

i get the feeling folks like it to pat themselves on nthe back for supporting the gays or something.

That's not necessarily true. I would say maybe 20% of it is actually singing. The rest is like comedy, drama, character building type stuff. I don't like or dislike musicals but I like this show. I'm very open to all types of music though so that helps, although there is always 1 or 2 episodes where the music is the worst part for sure.

I liked the first couple of episodes that I watched...somewhere in the 2nd season, I think.

Then I figured out that that gnawing uncertainty in the back of my head was the fact that a truly do not like the show. ...So I don't watch it anymore. googly eye lady is just too much for me.

I think it's funny and I don't even like musicals. The humor is great, usually has a good enough plot. My wife likes it, so I watched a few and ended up enjoying it. I won't go out of my way to see it, but it's on the DVR.

if you've ever considered gender reassignment surgery you may like it.
