Kat Stratford (Lindsey Shaw) is an outspoken progressive feminist environmentalist. Her younger sister Bianca Stratford (Meaghan Martin) wants more than anything to be popular. She sees the rich mean girl lead cheerleader Chastity Church (Dana Davis) as her chance to be popular. Cameron James (Nicholas Braun) loves Bianca but she sees him as her friend. Kat falls for bad boy rebel Patrick Verona (Ethan Peck) despite her better judgment. The girls' single father Walter Stratford (Larry Miller) can't stand that boys are in their lives.
It's a cute teen dramedy series. It's definitely cute. Sometimes it's funny. The young actors especially the two girls are all very likable. They all are very compelling. The Taming of the Shrew story is given a perfunctory going over. The idea of Bianca needing Kat to date first is not carried over from the movie. Overall, it's a fun teen show and better than most.
