The Fifth series of the show starts with an Episode titled 'Love, Love, Love', where The members of New Directions perform Beatles hits and ends with the tenth episode named 'Trio' in which Rachel and Santana's fallout causes problems for their friends, back in Lima, Tina, Sam and Blaine start to say their goodbyes to McKinley.
To one degree or another, I was embarrassed for all the actors reaching beyond their talents to try to save bad writing and, far too often, delivering crying jags that rang completely false and hollow.
It's wonderful to see that, despite the difficulties, the show has come back better than last year (for now) and apparently with a new spring in its step.
Overall, tonight was as awkward as expected. While it was a decent and typical Glee return, there's a sadness sort of looming over the show now. I'm interested to see where we'll go from here.
