Description

Were you a Gleek back in 2010, but now you have a growing suspicion that it was bad for reasons you can’t fully remember? Did you hate Glee back in 2010, but you’ve forgotten the specifics of why? Did you not watch Glee in 2010, and you want to have an airtight argument about why that was the right call? Lucky for you, Sam and Hannah are rewatching Ryan Murphy’s musical sensation and cataloging all the stupid stuff about it so you don’t have to! Join us on the GleeWatch and hear about the strange character choices, the teachers who should’ve been arrested, the flashy musical numbers, and all the effects that this Obama-era time capsule had on two queer kids turned queer adults.
