Glee: The Complete First Season(TV) (2009-2010)
A high-school Spanish teacher becomes the director of the school's Glee club, hoping to restore it to its former glory.

It definitely shows on Blu-ray, as the series has been given a 1080p/AVC-encoded presentation that's as clean-cut and colorful as the show's teenaged characters. There are occasional soft shots, but most of the show has a satisfying sense of clarity. Textures on clothing are finely resolved—see Emma's frilly blouses, Principal Figgin's tweed suit jackets, or the tight mesh of football jerseys—and in close-ups, you can spot every pore on the young actors' unrealistically blemish-free faces. Color is dense and saturated but very realistic—the musical numbers may be stylized, but the image never is—and the picture looks especially fantastic during outdoor, daylight scenes. Skin tones, throughout, are perfectly balanced, black levels are deep, and contrast is nicely tuned. If you caught the show on Fox in high definition, you can expect a slightly more pristine look here, with fewer compression bugaboos, but there are still a few small problems that keep the presentation from higher marks. Darker scenes are often peppered with bluish chroma noise, some fine color gradients look a little splotchy, and there are a few instance of mild banding. None of these are overt distractions, though, and don't let the 18MBPS bit-rate scare you off—Glee looks terrific on Blu-ray. Glee: The Complete First Season Blu-ray, Audio QualityUnsurprisingly, Glee's sound design—presented here via lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround tracks—is all about the music. As you'd hope, the various pop songs and show tunes sound fantastic, especially if you've got a capable 5.1 home theater set-up. The music has real presence, clarity, and dynamic punch, without ever sounded overly compressed or bottom heavy. During the bigger numbers, the instruments and voices are spread throughout every channel, creating an enveloping soundfield that puts you right in the school auditorium. When we go back to reality, however— the day-to-day drama of school life—the mix is much less active. You'll hear occasional ambience in the rear speakers—the clamor of between-period hallways, cheers from the audience at sectionals, etc.—but there are also plenty of instances where there could be more immersive sound design and there simply isn't. No big deal, though. Where it counts, Glee's audio delivers. The dialogue is unerringly clear, and the music sounds great turned up loud. Numerous subtitle options are available, all appearing in easy-to-read white lettering. Glee: Other Seasons
