Review of Nancy Drew

Nancy Drew (2019–2023)
10/10
Such a great update

I think everyone here is judging this series based on the books first published in the 1930s. The character has gone through many permutations to adapt to changes in society including eliminating some of the racist tropes in the first novels. Nancy Drew is college aged here and yes she is having sex and is sex positive which is so refreshing. I love the Twin Peaks vibe and plot twists where you don't know who has more to hide. The character is much more interesting (Buffy meets Miss Fisher) than her character in the books. I think the cast is also an interesting mix. A complex Nancy Drew for our time with ongoing story lines - not a monster/mystery of the week setup. I really hope this series continues.
