Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite Shakespeare, and this current-day retelling was a lot of fun. I found the banter between Bee and Ben delightful.

The only thing that would have made it better would be if Moat deviated from the original play and had Imogen girl-power dump Will's ass for calling her a whore and leaving her at the altar. KILL CLAUDIO indeed. *Grinchy "wonderful, awful idea" grin.* I mean, I know we don't do that with Shakespeare, but Will was just so awful to Imogen, and I can't imagine in the 2010s that anyone would be super gung-ho about getting re-engaged to a guy who did that to you. But I guess that's on Shakespeare and not this author.

Shenanigans!
