Райан Мерфи в курсе критики. И это радует.
"Glee's" rookie year brought home strong ratings and 19 Emmy nominations. The season two premiere begins with a sly nod to the intense press scrutiny that surrounded the show following its wildly successful first year.
The episode opens with McKinley High blogger Jacob Ben Israel (Josh Sussman) interviewing the members of Directions. Ben Israel's questions were all meta-references to some of the criticism the show has faced from the press during its run so far.
For example, Ben Israel asks New Directions' hyper-competitive overachiever Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) if she is "difficult to work with," paralleling rumors of Michele's own diva behavior on set. Ben Israel also tells glee club adviser Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) that his readers are "begging you to stop rapping" and that New Directions' song selections sound like they came from a "drag queen's iPod."
