The pilot of GLEE- a new high school comedy/drama focusing on, well, The Glee Club- is up on Hulu. It's good stuff.
It's got the kind of subtle comedy that makes you smile, so you can take the cheesy-ness. And it's not your momma's after-school-special extra cheesy, it's the kind you'd see in a Broadway play: half-sarcastic. In fact, it reminded me a lot of the plays I've read and seen.
There's drama, and some obvious hooks for future drama; but the acting is superb. It's just the first episode, so we'll see how they go and where they throw their emphasis. I recommend watching it, it's a little over 43 minutes you'll be happy you spent.
If you liked any recent adaptation of a musical to the big screen, you'll enjoy this show. If you like sarcasm, you'll find plenty there. And if you "Can't stop the feelin'", well... just watch.
