I liked Glee season 1. Alright, sure, it got silly halfway through, but it was enjoyable enough on its own merits. However, when season 2 came around, I liked the first few episodes, only for it to get bad real fast. The addition of Blaine only seemed to be thrown in there to pander to the yaoi fangirls, and Kurt became bitchier and bitter more unlikeable. Soon enough the show turned into an emo soap opera. None of the characters suffered appropriate consequences doe their own actions, particularly Finn. Season 3 was just a train wreck from beginning to end with lazy writing and more Murphy masturbating over his own characters.
My biggest problem is its treatment of gay people and other minorities. As a gay man myself, I find that the depiticion of gay people as "pets" and codependent queenie bitches really is disgusting and offensive. I know Murphy is gay, but it if he thinks this is what gay youth is like all the time, he needs to think again. I fit solely into Straight Gay territory and dont't need a man to get me through life, and this is why I can stand Kurt nor Blaine. They both spend the majority of their episodes navel gazing and wanking over each other. And the treatment of disabled people is more offensive. The downs syndrome kid? How she's a "pet" and what not? Really irks me.
Thats not all, though. The show has zero continuity and seems to exist only to pander nowadays. There's plenty of Les Yay between Santana and Brittany but none of it is ever really explored in depth; the show's "topic of the week" format seems forced, and the pushing the gay agenda down people's throats is just unnecessary. Yes, even for gay old me, there's such a thing as "too gay". And the idea that the show used to be centered on the whole cast and now is just the Klaine show really is irritating.
And more importantly, do we really need any seasons outside of the third? They graduated already and the new group of kids seems just unnecessary. Also, watching Colfer and Criss attempt to play high schoolers is becoming just plain creepy when they even look older nowadays. I fear that the show has taken a path that will lead to its eventual demise, and the extraordinarily low ratings of the season as of currenty seem to be a testament to this.
Enough is enough

Glee may as well rename itself to Gloop.
