Post a CommentI find this show completely unbelieveable from the first season because all of the students look too old to be in high school. WHO do they think they are kidding?
I've never seen Glee, and I'm not sure why - sounds like it would be right up my alley. This is interesting, although knowing a teen's typical level of (im)maturity, maybe it's not surprising that the actors are older!
