Glee: Season Two [Blu-ray] Reviews

From its status as “The Little Show That Could” through being a cult favorite and now a bona fide smash hit network series, Glee is certainly a show that polarized its audience during its second season. For each viewer who has been thrilled with deeper explorations into the personalities and talents of secondary characters from last season like Brittany Pierce (Heather Morris), Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera), and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer), there have been others who have objected to those characters being put more in the spotlight this season at the expense of Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), Will Schuster (Matthew Morrison), or Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley). There have been constant complaints about star casting (Gwyneth Paltrow, John Stamos, Carol Burnett, Charice), theme shows (Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Rocky Horror), and the inconsistent writing leading to irregularities in characters (Sue Sylvester’s on again/off again niceness, transitioning two major characters into bisexuals) and the shuffling of romantic couples throughout season two. And the biggest complaints have circled around the emphasis being placed on the character of Kurt Hummel, from the continuing story arc of his being so fiercely bullied for being openly gay to a wedding for his father and Finn’s mother being turned into “The Kurt Show,” down through the latter half of the season where the character jumps schools, finds love, and jumps back just in time for the Nationals competition in New York City.
