Glee but instead of singing the characters express their feelings by quoting Shakespeare.
I know only the basics about Shakespeare but I still enjoyed it despite not really understanding some of the quotes and scenes. If you are worried about not being able to wrap your brain around Shakespeare quotes (as I was), I wouldn't worry too much as I think the author does a good job at choosing quotes that are easy to read and you can understand the vibe of what they are trying to get across in the quote. They also aren't every sentence and I enjoyed the actual writing so you could skip over some of the quotes if you want without missing crucial elements of the story :)
