People get angry with each other, but they’re also there for each other if they’re needed.
Yes, there are some growing pains early in season one, but once a groove is found between the cast and the writing team, it shines.
How old are the characters in the nancy drew tv show series#
More importantly, the series is just … fun. Nancy Drew doesn’t ignore a revelation just because the audience could possibly piece together the implications. When there is an ongoing mystery, the clues and revelations are built on in a way that makes sense. Big turns and surprises are built toward rather than being shoved in for the shock factor. The stories are always interesting, and the writers’ room for the series is under-appreciated. Nancy Drew takes time to connect the pieces. It’s a coming-of-age story taking place in a small, horror-filled town.
Even as Nancy and her friends deal with these “cases,” from a god that needs to be forgotten to be powerful to a girl taken care of by the ghosts of pirates, the storylines are focused on family, friendship, first love, trying to find a place in the world. In season two, however, a season-long mystery takes a backburner to more episodic fare, with supernatural happenings and cursed artifacts on the loose in Horseshoe Bay, Maine. The whole thing revolves around Nancy (Kennedy McMann) and her friends looking into Lucy, now haunting Nancy, and how her case meshes with death of socialite heiress Tiffany Hudson. In the first season, the majority is focused on the case of Lucy Sable, “Dead Lucy,” who died a mysterious death by falling from a cliff into the ocean. The thing about Nancy Drew is that it strikes a good balance between episodic television and a serialized story. Is it on the level of Breaking Bad or WandaVision? No, but it does deserve a larger fanbase that what it seems to get, mainly because Nancy Drew harkens back to those early days of series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where there is a mystery to solve every week, a creative foe to take down, and a cast of lovable characters determined to keep the supernatural nonsense from taking over the world. Here’s the thing, though: The CW’s Nancy Drew is really good and deserves a lot more credit. So when The CW announced Nancy Drew, most folks went, “Oh great, another Riverdale clone,” and then proceeded not to watch it. From the endless “WTF” vibes of The CW’s Riverdale to just waiting for the announcement of another stab at Scooby Doo, popular properties are getting makeovers again and again in this media landscape. Remakes, revivals, and efforts to bring classic characters into the “modern age” are definitely getting a bit overplayed.
