3. Too Many Characters?
Are all of Glees problems a result of an ever-growing cast? Some would certainly think so Glees more successful first season focused on teacher Will Schuester, show choir star Rachel Berry and a small core group of glee club misfits. Two seasons past and this core Glee Club has expanded into plethora of mostly-interesting characters competing for screen time, not to mention students from other schools (often Glee Project winners) and a surprising number of familiar faces who really should have something better to do (also known as Guest Stars). The show has understandably not been able to cater to all of the characters it has developed, but has also failed to make the story of Rachel Berry more exciting or eagerly anticipated than those of secondary characters.
