(No real spoilers, I just mark it that way)
I'm a film lover, and the same goes with TV (which also is film.) Maybe I'm biased since I loved the film and the "The Taming of the Shrew" by Shakespeare. There's no concept of "hate" in this. Or "sadness". Or any type of emotion except giddiness. There are periods of anger and condemnation but overall: they're fleeting. They water down some characters or over exaggerate others. They lost me the moment they made Patrick Verona into a sleezeball, I think that was around episode eight. Bianca isn't overly vapid because if she was then a guy like Cameron most definitely wouldn't be into her. And, speaking of Cameron: he's not showing actual love and depth in this show like he did in the film, he's showing some lapdog future stalker type character. Kat is Kat not solely based on her ideals and philosophies but also because of the tragedies she went through as a young girl. The Kat in this show is unattractive, in my opinion.
The only originality in this is the father (played by the same actor) other than that: this is just every other teen flick out there for teenagers, that's probably fine, but for those of us (or just me) who loved the film and the original story, this is lacking everything those two were. My rating is generous because I wanted to give it a 1/10 but I didn't because there's probably value here for others, just not me.
