They are written so over-the-top and almost cartoonishly that if there were a scene where one of the rich used a servant as a footstool, it wouldn't feel out-of-place at all. There is an Achille's heel to this show and that is the depiction of older rich people. The ghost designs are effectively creepy. Though, the number of them popping up does push credibility. Fans of the original Nancy Drew might be put off by the addition of ghosts, but I thought they were woven into the plot surprisingly well. The writers do a wonderful job of blending episodic stories with the overarching storylines and mysteries.
Despite the ghosts, this Nancy Drew is more grounded. If you're one of those people who complain about Riverdale not making logical sense, then this show may be more your speed. Though I've compared this to Riverdale, this show may have learned a lesson from it. I was more entertained by this than I thought I would be.

#Review of new nancy drew tv show series
This grown-up re-imagination of the teen detective series fits right in the The CW's mold of shows with a gloomy small-town atmosphere and a broody, reluctant hero with a tragic history at the center (see also: Pretty Little Liars, Riverdale). No doubt, Nancy Drew will get to the bottom of it - eventually. The final few minutes of the pilot alone present a montage with such juicy little character revelations that we're left to question everything we've just learned about all of these people. Second, while Nancy is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get-style protagonist, the people around her are a lot less honest than they seem. First, there's a supernatural element that looms large over the entire town - in the pilot alone, we see the newly-crowned "sea queen" (a little girl who gets dolled up and does a little ceremony in a graveyard) disappear without a trace and a super creepy seance ritual at play. Nancy Drew's pilot has some hokey moments, for sure, but there are two things that seem poised to keep this show from being humdrum. Leah Lewis, Tunji Kasim, Kennedy McMann, Maddison Jaizani, and Alex Saxon, Nancy Drew The CW She's disappointed, she's tired, and more importantly, she's pissed. Instead of going away to her dream college, the 18-year-old works as a waitress at a diner which also employs her childhood nemesis George Fan ( Leah Lewis), a down-on-her-luck former socialite Bess Marvin ( Maddison Jaizani), and an exhausting burnout named Ace ( Alex Saxon). She feels bitter about everything and everyone in her seaside hometown, except her secret lover Ned "Nick" Nickerson ( Tunji Kasim), whom she still keeps hidden from the rest of her world. See, Nancy's mother's sudden illness and death drew her away from the crime-solving game some time ago - and led to an incredibly strained relationship with her father Carson ( Scott Wolf). As a child, she once sprung into action and saved a little girl's life, but in her newfound adulthood, she can't be bothered to even try anymore. This Nancy Drew (portrayed by Kennedy McMann) doesn't fancy herself a do-gooder, and when we meet her in the pilot, she doesn't even want to do what she's good at, which is solving all kinds of crimes in her hometown of Horseshoe Bay. It's already been thoroughly established that the new Nancy Drew series is not going to be as innocent as the beloved little mystery novels that kept generations of kids turning pages far too late into the night.
