\tRyan Murphy’s glee<\/em> was an inexplicable phenomenon in its early years. A darkly comedic musical series set in a high school glee club didn’t sound like it would pull nearly 10 million viewers an episode, but the show was a runaway success for Fox from the start.<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn the decade since it debuted, however, glee<\/em> has had a tumultuous public image. The show’s quality burnt out fast, trying to keep up with what was popular on the radio as well as what the fans wanted from the series and its characters. Ten sets, drama was bubbling up and hard to mask.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThen, there was a string of deaths \u2014 tragic, sudden and horrific \u2014 that would make people believe that a \u201cglee <\/em>curse” exists. Cory Monteith, the show’s previously unknown lead who played sweet quarterback Finn, was found dead at age 31, in between the show’s fourth and fifth seasons. Mark Salling, who played less sweet quarterback Puck, was accused of both sexual battery and later possessing child pornography. He would die of suicide in 2018. Naya Rivera, who stole scenes as snarky cheerleader Santana, passed away from an accidental drowning in California’s Lake Piru while on a trip with her son. <\/p>\n

\n

\tInterest in unpacking the mystery of what the hell was going on with the cast of this show has made the series more popular now than when it went off the air in 2015. <\/p>\n

\tEnter The Price of Glee<\/em>, a three-part documentary from ID and Discovery+ premiering Jan. 16. Unfortunately for Gleeks who yearn to know the truth about all the romances and fights that occurred on set during the show’s heyday, this isn’t the tea party old fans have long been hoping for. Instead, it’s a true crime-poisoned take focusing on the sudden deaths of Monteith, Rivera and Salling. In trying to understand the inexplicable, the documents seeks and fails to find answers, instead passively placing blame on the show and its cast for those losses.<\/p>\n
