And the old-school Nancy Drew mysteries that frequently revolved around scheming relatives and or greedy business partners have been leveled up to murder with an ancillary haunting. Nancy and the other cast members have been given (forgivable) flaws and a place to hang out (a seaside seafood restaurant called The Claw where most of the cast works).

There's a dad played by a former teen-girl TV idol (Scott Wolf, in this case) who will immediately make a certain segment of the audience do some math (and yes, at 51, Wolf is well old enough to be 22-year-old McMann's dad). The actors seem tailor-made to glower out from a Photoshopped cast photo. This series, based on the classic girl-sleuth books, has all the elements that would seem to make it a steamy CW teen soap, but ultimately it doesn't generate much heat. Can Nancy solve Tiffany's murder and figure out why the death seemed to rile up the restless spirit of another long-dead Horseshoe Bay resident? Show more But on an otherwise ordinary night, prominent socialite Tiffany Hudson ( Sinead Curry) is murdered outside The Claw, and local law enforcement officers suspect someone at the restaurant was the culprit. To make ends meet, Nancy's pulling waitress shifts at The Claw, the seaside seafood restaurant owned by one of Nancy's old high school classmates, George ( Leah Lewis), who also employs stoner dishwasher Ace ( Alex Saxon) and slumming rich girl Bess ( Maddison Jaizani). Her popularity and her grades slid after the death of her mother, and though Nancy still lives with her father Carson ( Scott Wolf), you couldn't exactly call them close these days.

Show moreīased on the series of mystery books for young readers, NANCY DREW joins up with the girl sleuth in present day, when Nancy ( Kennedy McMann) is taking an unwanted gap year after high school. One character is depicted as a stoner, and others drink beer and wine (but no one looks drunk). Language is infrequent: someone is called a "badass," and another character asks "what the hell?" Characters show courage and perseverance in investigating a mystery, but the messages are muddled by poor characterizations. Expect more mature sexual content than was ever in the books Nancy is having sex with her boyfriend, and a trailer is shown moving rhythmically, followed by characters rearranging their clothing. A main character's mom has died the death isn't shown, but viewers do see part of the funeral and a photo of the mom looking pale and ill. Though dead bodies are shown at length, there's no notable blood/gore. Viewers see imagery connected to both: veiled ghosts, a woman falling off a cliff, another lying dead on the ground. The chief mystery that Nancy and her pals are called to solve involves murder, which seems to be connected with a legendary local haunting. Nancy is portrayed as college-aged (and played by 22-year-old Kennedy McMann), as are the other main characters.
Parents need to know that Nancy Drew is based on the classic mystery series, but the show's content is considerably more mature than books'.
