This is a spoiler-free review of The CW’s Nancy Drew series premiere, originally published out of New York Comic Con. We won’t be reviewing every week, but we’ll check in at the end of the season to see how the show has progressed.
Taking cues from the sexy and supernatural Riverdale and its Netflix cousin Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The CW’s Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) is not the Nancy Drew you grew up with. More mature and spooky than its source material, the show centers on a Nancy who’s past the age of being the lovable, sleuthing wunderkind we’re familiar with. Now she’s an off-track young adult, who finds herself embroiled in a murder that may or may not involve a prom queen ghost.
