Practically a tweet for all of its brevity

10 Things I Hate About You is magical! How does it exist in this world? I think they've truly redeemed Cameron. Who would have even thought it possible?

Also: hooray for a show where the teenagers act like teenagers. The boys are such doofuses in the way that boys actually are (in this latest episode I am thinking particularly of Patrick, the giver of inappropriate nicknames).

Why aren't more people watching this show? It brings only joy.

I love this show! After the first season aired, I bought it on iTunes, and ended up watching it through about three times before the new season aired.

I never blamed Cameron for his behavior toward Bianca. Sure, he was unfair and creepy -- but as you pointed out, the characters are teenagers acting like teenagers. The concept of "This Is Inappropriate" remains abstract until you've actually made the mistake, and realized you've made a mistake. Then it takes more maturity to step up and remedy your mistake.

I love how flawed and clueless everybody is. It brings so much depth to the funny.

Yeah, it's very hard to blame Cameron when we're conditioned by movies and TV to think that if you're a geek and have feelings for a pretty, popular person, just by being their friend they will fall in love with you too. I thought it was great that the show acknowledged the creepiness of this trope and has moved on.

I really like what they've done with Patrick. He hasn't magically transformed into an emotionally mature Prince Charming. He's still kind of a jerk.

Kat's also realistically self-centered and superior but the show calls her on it which makes it a lot more palatable.

I love the show!! I haven't had the time to see the newest episodes but really liked the first season and as you said, they act as teenagers and i liked it, and Patrick, oh gosh, the voice he has

Patrick's voice is the best!

This new season is really good. I hope they can keep up the quality.
