The return of Glee!

So I've just finished watching the second episode of Glee season 4, and so far I'm actually really impressed. For anyone that doesn't know me,
let me just say that I'm a BIG fan of this show, and as such I came into season 4 with very high expectations, so for it meet my expectations hopefully
says it all. But, just to be thorough, I'll say a little more.

Fans of Glee will know that the last 3 seasons have mostly revolved around the hopes and dreams of a plucky group of high school students, but obviously
no one stays in high school forever, so at the end of the last season the writers decided to have a lot of the characters graduate and move off to college.
That meant that coming into season 4 there were always going to be some big shoes to fill, and so far they've managed introduced 2 new characters to the Glee club (the beautiful Marley Rose, played by Melissa Benoist, and the fearless Jake Puckerman, played by Jacob Artist), both of whom
are, as you'd expect, fantastic singers, and so far I've been pretty impressed by Benoist's performance as the shy new girl from a poor background.

Other new additions to the cast include Brody, the upper classman at NYADA (yes, the show is continuing to follow the adventures of Rachel (and a few of the other McKinley alumni)
 after graduation, which is a nice touch) who is played by Dean Geyer (you may have seen him in Terra Nova last year), and Cassandra July, NYADA's super strict dance coach, played by Kate Hudson.
