Glee
So.... I went through a "Glee" phase about six years ago, where I binge-watched most of the show. How this started is a little murky-- I wasn't exactly a show choir type kid in any way, and I also wasn't that into television six years ago. But, a lot of the music was pretty good, and I started to identify with some of the characters, and there it went.
