Glee: 10 Episodes EVERY Fan Should Have Seen

10. Shooting Star

One of the most controversial episodes in Glee occurred in the fourth season of the show. The episode in question begins quite manic, as Brittany believes that the group only have a few hours to live due to an incoming asteroid. This lends itself to a lot of comedy and some good musical numbers.

A dark twist soon occurs as gunshots can be heard throughout the school. Mr Schuester and the Glee club then have to hide, take cover and the episode becomes a heart-breaking exploration of school shootings. This wasn't the first time Glee tackled uneasy subject matter, but it was definitely the most visceral.

The group of students all make recordings on their phones documenting their final words to their families and friends, which is completely devastating, yet made even worse due to the real-world implications. Glee often managed to pull out an episode that crushed the viewer, and this was no exception.
