From what I understand, many people don't like Shakespeare because they have difficulty understanding Old English. A lot of effort goes into trying to understand the text so they don't pay much attention to the story and other elements of the story. I fall in this category too. I just knew the general story but if you focused more on the elements and the way the story is told then it's more enjoyable. This show is like a fresh start so give it a try. Btw, there's no Old English.

Not to be a dick, but Shakespeare wrote in modern English (though he won't melt with you). Old English would be stuff like Beowulf, which is pretty incomprehensible to anyone that isn't trained in it.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
