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 love how people rate things a month in and call that it. So, we saw this wasn't like the books. Neither was the new Sabrina and Riverdale. I've noticed that CW aims for a different kind of crowd. They aim for the young adult generation and keep up with the times. Equality is something that tends to a touchy subject, but not showing it is what made the governing generation we have today. Do we want to stay blissful and ignorant like those in the 50s or do we want a world where we don't shoot based on race or judge based on what we do behind closed doors.

What I love about this Nancy Drew (and CW) is the progressive attitude of the younger generation. If you want to stay in the stone age, don't watch their stuff.

The new creep factor was a major bonus. Sure, the relationships area bit soap-opera, but my favorite thing about Nancy Drew (old & new) was the mystery. Nothing is ever as it seems.

My only issue is how season 4 states it takes place one year after her mom's death when the mom has been dead since before the show started. That makes for a very busy year... in relationships and ghosts...

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.

As a tv show I absolutely loved this show but as a Nancy drew fan this I'm very disappointed in this tv show. How they decided to do this. I wish they would have just made a new tv show instead of taking something so wonderful just using the names and changing everything other thing about it. With so much source material from the original books it was sad to see it ditched for more supernatural things. It almost felt like they changed every aspect of the books from and that was disheartening.. I wish Hollywood would leave ND alone if they can't do right by the books and actually follow them at least a little!

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! :)
