Nancy Drew

Similar to ELEMENTARY w/ Johnny Lee Miller, the pilot episode for the CW's NANCY DREW started out trying a bit too much to shock and vary widely from the original. But from the second episode on, the story and characters are much improved. I grew up with Nancy Drew, enjoyed Pamela Sue Martin as a teen in the 70s, and find this show intriguing as well. The characters are likable and the mystery just keeps evolving. Well done and hope it continues.

I think it's kind of interesting and doesn't feel like dragging feet. I've seen 16 ep and I wanna know more. How they just accept ghosts and supernatural is really refreshing. When you spend time watching ep after ep of people denaiyng the same stuff, is super triering and annoying, looking at you Once Upon a time! They're isn't too much teenaiyng shenanigans, 'cos they're like 20 I think. Never read a single Nancy Drew book so I'm not comparing this to that, but Riverdale sucks.

I have been looking forward to this ever since the adds started on tv and I was not disappointed!

I am not sure why it has so many bad reviews, I think the characters were likeable, the story was good & the atmosphere was a bit creepy! (I am not really a horror fan so this was good for me! Haha)

I have not seen any other Nancy Drew movies or read the books, maybe that is why people are not liking it, as they are comparing it to them? But I really liked ep 1 and can't wait for the next one! :)

I wrote a 1 star review after the first episode and I was fuming. I hated it all because this wasn't Nancy Drew. Why can't someone just make an authentic Nancy Drew movie or show? It's not hard!!

BUT despite it NOT being OUR Nancy Drew, by itself the show is pretty interesting and enjoyable. I really look forward to it now. Still bitter about it not being Nancy, but I want to see how this show plays out. I want to see how the mystery ends. I don't mind the twists on characters. But someone PLEASE make a real Nancy Drew that we grew up with, in her time period and all.

The majority of the bad reviews are from people who either haven't finished the first episode, or didn't go further than the first. Do yourself a favor, think for yourself, and give things a chance before you listen to the negativity. No, it's not exactly like the books about a younger Nancy Drew. And the generation that the show was actually produced for probably has no idea the books exist, so is that really such a huge deal? The show isn't the best on TV, but the story line does pick up if you give it more than 5 minutes before you make a judgement.
