VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cGlee\u201d: The Complete Fourth Season<\/b> arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Fox and for a TV series, looks great in 1080p high-definition. The series has always been bright, cheerful and colorful and it shines through on Blu-ray quite nicely. Having never seen the show live, I can\u2019t say how it compares, but it\u2019s probably on par.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A most certain upgrade from the TV airing, the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track makes the most out of the numerous musical numbers providing for an enhanced experience while dialogue levels also sound crisp and clear. But it\u2019s the music that shines through so any fans will be more than happy with this lossless track.<\/p>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.25\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, to be honest I\u2019ve never been the biggest fan of \u201cGlee\u201d<\/b> but there are some good moments here and there and the musical covers tend to be reasonably good all things considered. The Blu-ray distributed by Fox offers excellent audio and video transfers while the features have much to be desired, though nowadays, it\u2019s no surprise that it is thin.<\/p>\n
