Nancy Drew

What viewers say

Viewers who like this teen reboot enjoy the supernatural-tinged mysteries, the ensemble cast's chemistry and the strong acting for a network teen drama, and many were sorry when it was cancelled after four seasons. The loudest criticism is that it is a soapy, much more adult take that strays far from the books: parents object to sexual content, an affair subplot and some drinking, and reviewers call the characters dull and Nancy cold. Some viewers wish it were a straight detective show, and the second season drew complaints of a dip. Ghostly scares can frighten younger viewers.

Best for: Viewers who like supernatural teen mysteries and don't need a faithful take on the classic books.
