Glee: Gloire et Malédiction

You'd think with three episodes, it'd be close to an episode per death for example but what you get is just exploitative behaviour green-lit by discovery to trick people into thinking their service is even remotely interesting.

This show is tragic, it's people who worked on the show and other desperados on the outside of their lives who try and make themselves look even remotely close to the three, cannot believe the girls dad did this show. Awful.

The information this gives has been on tv/YouTube for ages and this show tells you nothing! No footage or anything remotely new. Yeah backstage people worked on the show cast an opinion but it's just like death is sad, it's yhst vague.

I'd love them to go deeper on how horrible Lea is.

The only reason I give this one is Corey's roommate who had surgery and how has an awkward permanent smile. Hilarious.

What an exploitative cash grab. Do not watch this!!!

This "documentary" is a collection of half-truths, hearsay and lies, presented by a bunch of oppotunists. Non of the cast-members of the actual show were involved in this, a lot of them have spoken out against it.

The producers of this should be ashamed of themselves, especially since they had the chance to create an actually interesting documentary.

Focusing on the unrelated deaths of several cast members was absolutely disgusting. The poster alone is terrible: putting Cory and Naya next to Mark and the claiming that their deaths was a result of the show ("the price of glee") is unacceptable.

Again: DO NOT WATCH THIS.

There's no substance here, it's basically just hours of vamping as people who had minimal interaction with the cast members reflect on their limited experience. No new information, the same video clips and photos with different special effects and dramatic music to change the tone... it's all speculation and ultimately draws no meaningful conclusions or lessons for viewers.

Some of the participants flat out admit that their only source for the things they say is social media. If close friends and loved ones aren't participating in the documentary, if the law enforcement handling these cases didn't get involved in the story telling, those are immediate red flags.

Repetitive to the point of nauseating.

I'm a huge gleek; I've been following this cast and this story and the way they put the blame on specific people; the tabloid type headlines , the sinister music . What a piece of s***, what a disrespect for the ones who are not alive to tell their stories. Or the people that made mistakes and this kind of narrative the only thing that do is reflecting one the sensationalism of the DEATH of 3 human beings, and in the current lives of the rest of cast and crew members.

The entertainment journalists; I've never heard of them regarding glee, the way they say they have a curse, everything is bad and very disrespectful of the human tragedies and making it just a click bait story is a shame.

I decided to watch this BECAUSE of the 1 star reviews, not in spite of them. The complaints from other reviewers confirmed that I might actually enjoy it. Other reviewers didn't like that they didn't interview the main cast, only interviewing people on the 'periphery'. To me this was a huge positive.

What I DIDN'T want to watch was people saying what they thought they were supposed to say. It was refreshing to get the perspectives of people who didn't have to worry about how what they said may have an influence on future job prospects.

What made this documentary so interesting to me was exploring the effects of fame, particularly in the case of Cory Monteith who had never experienced fame prior to Glee and wasn't prepared for it. The most valuable perspective on Cory's mental state was that given by his former housemate.

Also interesting was a look at the behind-the-scenes dynamics. Once again, if it had been the main cast who had been interviewed, we would have gotten niceties and politeness. However those who were interviewed just laid things out as they saw them. Very refreshing and unexpected documentary.

This review is from a person with a casual interest in the show. I'd watch Glee if it happened to be on TV at the time and there was nothing better on.
