Alanna Bennett BuzzFeed News 01/19/2023
A lurid depiction of real-life traumas that are incongruously spliced together, it’s ghoulish, an example of what happens when Hollywood myth-making crosses the line. Go to Full Review
Brian Lowry CNN.com 01/17/2023
Recounting triumphs but mostly tragedies associated with the hit Fox show, the project feels as if it’s on significantly surer footing charting the former and basically just icky when delving into the latter. Go to Full Review

The program is, as expected, a tawdry and slight exercise in misery porn, a rehash of tragedy told largely by talking heads, crew members, and people who call themselves friends of the deceased. Go to Full Review
William Schwartz Book & Film Globe 03/16/2023
The people who made The Price of Glee clearly go out of their way to avoid being too hostile to a TV show that they clearly loved. Unfortunately, this aura of positivity comes at the expense of almost anything that you could consider a clear point. Go to Full Review
Fletcher Peters The Daily Beast 01/20/2023
The buzzy new docuseries has no authoritative sources or credibility, and is merely a crass rehashing of tragedies that happened to stars like Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera. Go to Full Review
Rich Juzwiak Jezebel 01/19/2023
The three-part docuseries goes in on rehashing Glee's dark side without offering any real dirt. Go to Full Review

Taylor H @TH0809 May 26 There is interesting info in this documentary that make it worth watching. BUT…they try to blame everything on Leah or the show itself. As sad as it is, Cory is the one who relapsed and put that needle in his arm, no one else. He was a guy with a very troubled background which involved addiction who became super famous and lost his battle with addiction. And what happened to Naya and Mark happened after the show ended and was unrelated to the show. So no, I don’t think the show is cursed. And no, even if Leah is a b*tch, she carried the show and isn’t responsible for anyone’s death. This show is VERY biased for Cory and against Leah rather than presenting a neutral stance, which is its biggest flaw. See more Whit C @RT04646038 09/11/2023 I found this informative as a casual viewer of the first few seasons of Glee. It's very sad what happened to many of the cast and crew. See more cary g @Phillytodd 08/30/2023 Incredibly sleazy documentary. It seems that the intent of this so-called documentary was to vilify the creators of Glee. It's not surprising that none of the cast members participated in this colossal mess. See more G M @RT97670256 07/31/2023 If you watched all of glee this will help shed light on what the actors and crew actually went through. Very tragic. Wish there were more credible people being interviewed for some of the details that nobody could really know. A lot of speculation and "I assume" Overall If you were a fan of glee it may be worth watching See more Read all reviews
