Things became pretty uncertain until Ellen DeGeneres and Wendy Williams took matters into their own hands, and Warner Bros. In fact, the story was so bad that they had to try again at NBC.
#NANCY DREW TV SHOW 2018 SERIES#
And that is exactly what happened when screenwriting couple Tony Phelan and Joan Rater were given the reigns to make a new Nancy Drew TV series for CBS, in which the crimes they planned to commit against Nancy made that van look like nothing by comparison. And I thought it would be fun to start this post with a joke, while reminding us of what it was that made us fall for this character in the first place, and to remember it when it comes to writing new stories featuring the famed girl detective.īecause unlike some people, I couldn’t bear to modify the text to the point that you barely know what it is anymore. Jokes aside, yes, those were indeed the opening lines of the original Nancy Drew book, The Secret of the Old Clock.
#NANCY DREW TV SHOW 2018 DRIVER#
So who’s willing to bet that the driver of the van works for CBS or NBC? I’m personally betting both. Miraculously, the little girl managed to cross the road safely and pull herself up onto a low wall, which formed one side of a bridge.īut the next second, as the van sped away, the child lost her balance and toppled off the wall out of sight! “Oh my goodness!” Nancy cried out, slamming on her brakes.” A van, turning out of the driveway of the house, was barely fifty feet away from her.Īs the driver vigorously sounded the horn in warning, the child became confused and ran directly in front of the van. From the lawn of a house just ahead of her a little girl about five years of age had darted into the roadway. S miling, Nancy said to herself, “Dad depends on my intuition.”Īn instant later she gasped in horror. Her father, Carson Drew, a well-known lawyer in their home town of River Heights, frequently discussed puzzling aspects of cases with his blond, blue-eyed daughter. “It was sweet of Dad to give me this car for my birthday,” she thought. She had just delivered some legal papers for her father. Good points though for Nancy, who really doesn't hesitate to confront everything and everyone instead of the typical investigator that just keep things for themselves until something bad happens.“Nancy Drew, an attractive girl of eighteen, was driving home along a country road in her new, dark-blue convertible. The show has good intentions with their very diverse cast but most of them still fail to be memorable and they also evolved too fast making them even less relatable. That said, once the investigation resolved the show, in its last 15minutes, fully embraced the supernatural part with some really chilling scenes. The show should have focused on keeping it real as the investigation was the best part with some clever (if not overdramatic) twists.
If you remove all the supernatural things the story would still make sense, it would even make more sense as despite the apparitions of demons, new dimensions and sea witches' the characters are unconvincingly calm (ok a little nervous but not "ghost are real nervous"). The big issue of Nancy Drew, outside the usual flaws of a teenager tv show, is that they go for two different types of show and they can't find a middle ground. Much better comparing to a lot of CW shows I've watched.
It's different, there's supernatural present. So if you watch the show, don't go in expecting Nancy and the cousins George and Bess. People are calling Nancy very selfish for putting herself first when she finds out that Carson isn't her dad but how would you act? Honestly. And even though they're relationship is slightly rocky, it's realistic. There are still certain bits and pieces that are there in the characters like George being a tomboy, Bess being a bit of a fashionista and Ned being the most helpful, kind guy ever. It was a town of white folk(not trying to be disrespectful) so this show definitely gets points for the diversity. I am and always will be a die hard Nancy drew fan but always found something missing in the books. I honestly like the show because even thought there's no connection to the books, there's more diversity.
It's definitely not at all connected to the books apart from the character names.
