![]() ![]() Alvina August’s detective Karen mostly spouts police facts and her only other storyline is secretly dating Carson. Maddison Jaizani’s Bess Marvin (now British woman of color) gets an interesting backstory by episode four. Alex Saxon’s Ace is meant to be a sort of bland but lovable underachiever but ends up being more of an archetype than a person. Riley Smith’s suspect Ryan + Scott Wolf’s widower dad Carson, two of the main adult characters, are a bit lopsided, with Ryan the more interesting just because his guilt in his wife’s murder fluctuates wildly due to some nice acting choices. Kennedy McMann is a strong lead as Nancy Drew, toeing a very fine line between sarcastic voiceover, fresh grief, and not-too-precocious private investigator. Though Nancy Drew takes on a more serialized case (which more broadcast series could do to their advantage), the series also takes place at a diner (like Riverdale), focuses on a more gritty crime (like Riverdale), features precocious young adults in CW-friendly sexy times (like Riverdale), and contains supernatural influences (like Riverdale). Nancy Drew is definitely all growed up in this version. Larry Teng, one of the few Asian pilot directors ever, does not craft an anarchic, stylized look like Riverdale’s first season does though, preferring a bit more subdued vibe to let the semi-hardboiled bits stand out more. Though at its heart about a murder, the series actually succeeds more at its attempts at jump scare horror, which end up being decently effective at separating it from most of the other broadcast crime series (minus CBS’ wonderful Evil, of course). The biggest inspiration, though is The CW’s Riverdale, which Nancy Drew sired + now takes obvious inspiration from, a series that proved that wholesome entertainment can be PG-13′d up to great appeal. Stephanie Savage + Josh Schwartz, the creators of teen essence-capturing series like FOX’s The O.C., The CW’s Gossip Girl, and Hulu’s Marvel’s Runaways, took a run at it for The CW, and finally got it to series. CBS tried with Grey’s Anatomy executive producers Joan Rater + Tony Phelan and star Sarah Shahi as an NYC police detective, then after that pilot failed to get picked up, NBC retried with Rater + Phelan, which didn’t even make it to pilot.
