Critic Reviews

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

Unlike last month's ABC Family misfire "Make It or Break It," 10 Things contains clever dialogue that's rooted in its characters. Read full review

Paige Wiser

A new audience will enjoy this smart series, which makes light of the eternal hell of high school. Read full review

Variety Brian Lowry

So while the checklist of assets might not add up to 10, there are several things to like about this series, which bodes well for its desire--shared by TV and teenagers--to become popular. Read full review

Ken Tucker

While Bianca is the status-conscious, superficial center of the show, Martin makes her kinda sweet, and Shaw is downright excellent as the status-hating, politically aware Kat. Read full review

New York Post Linda Stasi

10 Things is silly, mindless fun and the actors are all terrific in that silly, mindless fun way that Disney teens tend to be. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

The movie has such cult status that it seems almost sacrilege to tamper with it for television, but as a series 10 Things is not terrible; it is even at times fun. It’s just not very inventive. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Not much interesting going on here, although it can be intriguing to watch an old-fashioned-style sitcom shoehorned into the Gossip Girl age, as ABC Family continues to try to be relevant yet family-friendly. Read full review

True and accurate depiction of high school, funny characters, some very easy to relate to. As a teen, I say this show represents us well.

I feel like the show never really lived up to its potential. Although I loved the casting and character acting, the episode-to-episode storytelling was lack luster and just could hold the weight of the original concept of the movie. I think it was good for what it was and can commend it forI feel like the show never really lived up to its potential.

I think it was good for what it was and can commend it for what it was trying to accomplish as a more lighthearted romance TV show for teens, but it needed to try harder.… Expand

I thought it was okay, but not as good as I wanted it to be. Since the movie is based off The taming of the shrew, the show should have something to do with the movie. Like the fact that Patrick was payed to date Kat. In the show, he liked her first moment he saw her. I didn't like I thought it was okay, but not as good as I wanted it to be.

I just don't like how they think they can replace the movie and so many aspects of it have been screwed up that I just can't appreciate it. Long live Heath Ledger.
