... and without a doubt it is one of my favourite shows on television
I've been watching Glee for a couple of years and without a doubt it is one of my favourite shows on television. The first three seasons where pure gold - the best entertainment I could have possibly asked for. Lea Michele's Rachel is one of the best characters in TV history. However, after graduation occurred in season 3, I was a little apprehensive at the thought of the cast 'moving on'. My worries were put aside when I heard about the introduction of the New York storyline as I would get to follow my favourite characters after graduation. However season 4 quickly went downhill. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all bad and there are quite a few stand out episodes, but the main problem was that the actual cast hardly got any screentime and the new characters who aren't even in the same league were getting about 70% of each episode. I felt like fast forwarding through the high school parts so that I could watch the New York storyline. I was hoping season 5 would improve the many mistakes that season 4 had created. I was devastated to hear of Cory Monteith's passing and was sure that the show couldn't move forward, but that actually was not the case, season five is head and shoulders better than season 4.CONTAINS SOME SPOILERSSeason five starts really well with a double Beatles tribute and it's immediately clear that the writers have shifted the focus back to the characters we actually care about. The Cory Monteith tribute episode is heartbreaking but beautifully done. There are a few fillers here and there, not to mention probably the worst ever episode that Glee has done (Puppet Master), but the storylines are much better than the previous season's. From Episode 9 onwards is where the show really picks up. 'Frenemies' is one of the best ever episodes which leads into some even better episodes. As usual with a shows fifth season, this season of Glee features the 100th episode, which to put mildly is fantastic and feels like a return to the shows roots. From episode 14, the show (finally, and rightfully) shifts to New York full time, which provides a higher quality show. No more pointless episodes about Marley or Jake - but proper storylines such as Rachel's Broadway career. The episodes from here are the best produced episodes since the shows third season. It all comes together really well, which has left me eager to see the next season!All in all, season 5 is a much better season than season 4. I have heard that next season will be the final season, which I can fully understand, but I will find it hard when the time comes around to live in a world where Glee is not on TV. Here's to another great season!Season 5 Hightlights: "The Quarterback", "Movin' Out", "Frenemies", "100", "New Directions", "New New York", "Bash", "Opening Night".

OK but not up to usual Glee standard.
I bought this for my wife who is a fan of the show.This series was better than series 4, which was awful, but it is still not back on top form.That said, series 6 improves considerably so it is worth ploughing through series 5 so you know what is going on in the final series.

Still the same mix of wonderful music, drama
Slowly the point of view changes from HighSchool in Lima, Ohio to New York , where some of the graduates find each other again. Still the same mix of wonderful music, drama, comedy (sometimes allmost slapstick) as it has been before in Seasons 1-4

Great Season, Great Characters & Disappointing in some respects!
Unlike previous seasons, this season dropped its ball, mainly in the second half of the season. Although many consider the second half t be great as there are no longer two separate arcs but only the New York one only, I feel like it just emitted the cast they initially introduced at the start of season 4 which felt a lil crappy(If you find my review on season 6, this is also a problem).One other thing that nagged me too is the fact they introduced Dani, a new love interest for Santana. Although she was someone on the outskirts, it got to a point where her character just stopped appearing and her character was never fully resolved, we just assumed Santana ended it with her. Another character from season 4 (Adam) who had a thing with Kurt was introduced as a love interest yet once again he stopped appearing and then was not resolved. It annoyed me how characters who were introduced just stopped existing really. If I really want to get into a rant Elliot or 'Starchild' who became a recurring character and friend of Kurt and Rachael was also completely wiped from the show. I hated this because they spent some time developing his character and his relationships with other characters on the show and then he disappeared!!!. The cast from season 4 i.e Marley, Jake & Ryder etc. were completely absent from the second half which I could deal with as Lima wasn't really the main focus and had hoped to see them in season 6. Although they give a half-baked reason for their departures I felt like all their development was thrown away and they never came full circle.Overall another enjoyable season with great characters, just unfortunate that most of them you'll never see again. Also R.I.P Finn <3

I've only recently got into Glee and I love it. This season is not the best but does concentrate on some characters that have not previously had major story lines. Can't wait for season 6.

A show to watch
Season 5 is ace. The tears are streaming. A rollercoaster of a ride with the lives of my favourite show choir. So glad I purchased through Amazon instant video rather than waiting for release day.
