More Critic Reviews for Nancy Drew Season 1 All Critics (26) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (12) While this series goes forth as a supernatural thriller approach to the Nancy Drew story, it doesn't go overboard with the supernatural element, realizing that less is more in this type of story. Oct 10, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… LaToya Ferguson indieWire Top Critic It's not there yet, it's really struggling, but you sense that it's got the goods somewhere. Oct 10, 2019 | Full Review… Allison Shoemaker RogerEbert.com Top Critic So sure, a lot of Nancy Drew is silly and contrived and much too easy. Some of the teased-out plot developments are disappointing... Yet, it's a nice complement to Riverdale and, even with the ghosts, is still more low-key and less ridiculous. Oct 4, 2019 | Full Review… Pilot Viruet Observer Top Critic This fun new series... is infected by a dank, near-Gothic level of adolescent anxiety -- fans of Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will be happy. Oct 17, 2019 | Full Review… Tom Gliatto People Magazine If this installment is a sign of what's to come, those odds are looking up. Oct 10, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Caitlin Wyneken Tell-Tale TV This Nancy Drew feels a breath of fresh air in a TV landscape full of cookie cutter remakes and revivals. It may not be an original concept, but it's certainly an original spin on a franchise we already know and love. Oct 10, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Lacy Baugher Den of Geek Nancy Drew did an excellent job reeling viewers in, making their spines tingle, and setting up multiple plot lines to be further explored throughout the season. Oct 10, 2019 | Rating: 4.3/5.0 | Full Review… Rachel Foertsch TV Fanatic This Drew is just dull. Oct 10, 2019 | Full Review… Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily The dialogue in Nancy Drew is similarly cheesy, and, at times, forced and unnatural for the sake of explaining unnecessarily complicated plot developments. Oct 9, 2019 | Full Review… Jordan Julian The Daily Beast What makes Nancy Drew's appeal span generations, however, aren't her relationships. It's the mysteries themselves... The first two episodes do not yet prove that this new drama has captured that very crucial aspect of the Nancy Drew legacy quite yet. Oct 10, 2019 | Full Review… Melanie McFarland Salon.com Top Critic A slow-paced pilot with dialogue that's supposed to elicit a smile but instead falls flat. Oct 9, 2019 | Full Review… Joel Keller Decider There are elements... that feel entertaining and nicely updated and the cast is decent, albeit extraordinarily CW-y. But somehow fiction's original teenage girl detective has been brought back to TV in a way that feels primarily derivative. Oct 9, 2019 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (26) Audience Reviews for Nancy Drew: Season 1 2h ago The show could have been a great show if they had stuck to the Book which is still popular. It feels like they are trying to push an agenda rather than bring a popular character to life. They also through out Nancy's positive character which made her so popular in the books. Paul F 2d ago Boring. Unconvincing. Sex is in. KATHLEEN E 3d ago shows potential but needs work william o 3d ago This show is nothing like the books. So if you're wanting to watch a show based upon the books than just skip this for it is nothing like them. Malachi G Oct 16, 2019 If I could give it less than half a star I would. I was looking forward to this because of the books and the Hardy Boys series were a wonderful wholesome read/view. You have to add sex to bring in viewers really? You have sullied the entire series of books! Linda H Oct 15, 2019 Its really slow and boring. The books were full of interesting characters and stories but these ones are so obvious and shallow. Nancy's character is wrong too, she's not stupid or trashy like this! Sofa H Oct 15, 2019 Great show!! On my DVR list! Sarah F Oct 14, 2019 Love it! I can not wait to see how it grows as a show ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Jenna A Oct 14, 2019 Great update to a true classic! Rachel G Oct 14, 2019 I wanted to like this show, I grew up with Nancy Drew books, but before even the questionable acting is the fact that it was just plain boring. And stilted. I felt no excitement about the mystery and the quest to solve it. I'm really surprised by the rating for it here and all the comments about liking it because it has no agenda, lol. That's some pretty low standards for people who seem to claim they have high standards. Just proves even more that it's just trolls. d h See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
