‘Nancy Drew’
The CW’s new take on Nancy Drew wears its influences on its sleeve. Gone is the fresh-faced young investigator from the books. Enter a darker, older Nancy (Kennedy McCann) grappling with the murder of a local socialite she and her friends were framed for. Oh, and there are ghosts. If you’re thinking that this show is Riverdale 2: Here we Go Again… Well, you’re correct. But McCann is a solid Nancy, and there’s enough promise in the show (it comes from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage) to power a first season. Grab your magnifying glass, and let’s go.
