Teasing out the mystery does offer some hope of hooking an audience, but everything else about the series feels stale.
October 09, 2019
The dialogue in Nancy Drew is similarly cheesy, and, at times, forced and unnatural for the sake of explaining unnecessarily complicated plot developments.
October 07, 2019
If you like Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The CW's Nancy Drew series should be just your speed.
October 08, 2019
Given the degree to which "Nancy Drew" attempts to coast by on sheer attitude, it should come as no surprise that the mystery is fundamentally uninteresting and that Nancy's friends, in the show's first two hours, are undistinguished.
October 07, 2019
Just as it did in its sullen Archie adaptation Riverdale, the network has squeezed all the light-heartedness and charm out of its characters in favor of morose despondency.
October 04, 2019
So sure, a lot of Nancy Drew is silly and contrived and much too easy. Some of the teased-out plot developments are disappointing... Yet, it's a nice complement to Riverdale and, even with the ghosts, is still more low-key and less ridiculous.
October 09, 2019
A slow-paced pilot with dialogue that's supposed to elicit a smile but instead falls flat.
October 09, 2019
There are elements... that feel entertaining and nicely updated and the cast is decent, albeit extraordinarily CW-y. But somehow fiction's original teenage girl detective has been brought back to TV in a way that feels primarily derivative.
October 03, 2019
Consequently, this new Nancy Drew lacks some of Riverdale's self-conscious extravagance, and embraces another (erstwhile) CW property that's recently come back into the spotlight: Veronica Mars.
October 07, 2019
Making Nancy angrier and more rebellious doesn't make her a stronger character, and taking her away from her roots risks making the show into just a generic slow-burn mystery series with a familiar title.
October 04, 2019
With a reverence for the franchise's lore, a cast that's a delight to watch, and a surprisingly-layered mystery, Nancy Drew has all the makings of The CW's next big hit.
October 09, 2019
Ghostly potential as-yet unreached, Nancy Drew is not a better alternative to any of the shows from which it draws inspiration.
