Season 1 is a groundbreaking 10. Stays solid through 2, 3 is uneven but satisfying, 4 is uneven and less so, 5 and 6 a train wreck
They ruined what was a fun, snarky role model for kids that adults could enjoy. It became a very mixed bag of very mixed messages. "Klaine" in particular became a dysfunctional mess, a terrible role model after being a wonderful one in season 2. Such a shame.
The characters are memorable, even many of the recurring guest stars like Sebastian Smythe, Jesse St. James Holly Holiday, and April Rhodes.
Rachel Berry and Kurt Hummel feel like cliched divas now, but with both they were layered portrayals that we hadn't seen before at the time. Rachel in particular was a very singular teen character who was amazing to watch in the beginning! Great writing for her. Kurt was a baby penguin to root for!
The most important character in the show was Finn Hudson. He didn't need the glee club the way they needed him. He chose to be an ally to the disenfranchised, and that is a vital message. The show lost its heart after he passed away,
The songs will be the show's biggest legacy, Darren Criss was the most consistent showstopper.
