The reinvention of the iconic Nancy Drew series as a mature drama is a fun spin for teenage and older audiences who grew up reading Nancy Drew. The supernatural elements of Lucy’s ghost become more and more prominent throughout the show. They also try to look into another murder: the murder of Lucy “Dead Lucy” who has been haunting the entire town. Obviously Nancy Drew and her accused group of friends decide to solve the mystery of Tiffany Hudson’s death.

Besides this 2007 movie, countless other movies and series have been released following the famous Nancy Drew.
#NANCY DREW TV SHOW REVIEW MOVIE#
One movie version came out In 2007, by the name of Nancy Drew, starring Emma Robert and directed by Andrew Fleming. Countless books following her story were published, from 1930 to 2003, following the creation of this iconic detective character. This could be fine for a season but I can't see it going on longer than that.Most people remember the iconic Nancy Drew story originally created by Carolyn Keene and Edward Stratemeyer in the 1930s. Fans who've only vaguely heard of her before would enjoy it more than someone whose known her all their life(like I have). It feels like they came up with the concept and put Nancy's name on it for attention. It has little to do with the source material besides the small snippets and the actress playing Nancy reenacting a few covers. I'm fine with him having a love interest but since they have Nancy's mom die a year before the show takes place instead of when she was a kid, it's actually really uncomfortable.

Carson is just a jerk and lawyers can't represent their own children. So basically the same as any cliche bad boy/girl from every movie/tv show/book/dating sim ever made. George doesn't seem to have much of an personality beyond a bad attitude, tattoos, and a leather jacket. Totally annoyed that they casted a skinny girl to play Bess, it's 2019 I expected her original weight to not be ignored/shamed. George and Bess(no longer cousins) may be the biggest offenders next to Carson Drew. A lot of the characters don't feel like the characters they're supposed to be. I will admit the fact that the change from white to black also meant a change from honor student quarterback to ex-con, was not the smartest move on their part. The actor mostly fits Ned's basic description (tall,dark and handsome lol) and his loyalty to Nancy. Ned is seemingly the only character that has the most in common with his book counterpart, which isn't to say it's accurate. It tied up threads almost too quickly (already). Right off the bat with the pilot, it doesn't have the true Nancy Drew feel and if the pilot is supposed to set up the rest of the series it doesn't bode well. It tied As a long time fan of Nancy Drew I can safely say that this series wasn't made for long time fans.
