Glee: O Preço da Fama

I watched this show because I was a fan of Glee and I guess I was expecting each of the 3 episodes to focus on one of the actors that died (I.e. One episode just on Cory, one on Naya, ect), instead over the course of 3 hours, 85% was all just about Cory, 10% was about Naya and the last cast member was barely even mentioned and for the life of me I cannot remember his name! That's how little this show cared about him. What a shame. If you're a huge fan of Corey, you'll enjoy it , but if not, don't waste your time. I wish that they spent more time memorializing all the cast members and their experiences, but they didn't.

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.

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'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.
