The Price of Glee

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.

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.

It's a pretty big red flag when no one in the cast is involved, which becomes a black mark as things progress.

As The Price of Glee opens, it's not bad - everything's cheery, Glee's future is bright - but then FOX has a hit on its hands, and they put their actors through the grind. The show had a famously grueling work schedule; but boy oh boy, if you didn't already think the industry was a slaughterhouse for young talent, this "documentary" will helpfully remind you at every turn. It's like an E! True Hollywood Story without a conscience, exploiting the tragedies that plagued a network TV show. The way they zeroed in on Naya's grief-stricken dad just made me feel gross. There's real pain behind the scenes of Glee, but don't bother with this.

It's pure trash.

This series is frustrating from start to finish - and I couldn't not even finish it. The storyline is hopelessly incoherent, jumping erratically from one topic to another without any clear direction or purpose.

The editing only exacerbates the problem. Transitions are jarring and poorly timed, adding to the sense of confusion. It feels like entire chunks of the story are missing, leaving viewers with more questions than answers. To make matters worse, none of the Glee cast members make an appearance.

In the end, the series tells very little and offers even less in terms of entertainment. Save your time and skip this one.

There was some basic and interesting information in this show which is labeled a documentary, but it really felt like the show highlights only the things that are dramatic and controversial, and what appeals to people who like tabloids. It didn't feel respectful to the actors who had died or to the principles of what should be called a documentary. I couid still watch something while acknowledging these flaws, but I found myself losing interest and struggled to pay attention. It felt like they were trying to draw out the information they had to keep the drama going. I can't recommend this show.
