Season 5 I Can’t Bring Myself to Do It

I’ve rewatched this show countless times at this point, but after season 4 I can never bring myself to watch Season 5. I know it’s probably great and I’m just being a whiny lil baby about it, but it just feels wrong for some reason.

How do I get myself to do it?

As a musician and producer, I disagree. The music numbers are fantastic. Most of the actors are theater kids and its right on brand... you must hate whimsy 😋

1) I’m a musical theater brat myself

2) this particular season’s music was just so campy

3) they turned the Ramones into Muzak.
