I like the direction but not so much the story, at least the way it's being told. The writers have also decided that Ned (Nick) is going to be the character every emotionally mature person hates because he acts like an emotionally stunted little boy that pushes and pushes due to his insecurities. He is made to seem like he's intelligent but every thought and decision he makes seems to be that of someone who is childish. The writers also make Nancy keep things from everyone that are nonsensical just to add immature drama. We won't even go into character development. The CW is on the cusp of making shows that will appeal to a broad audience yet they seem to forget the rest of us are here and keep aiming at emotionally immature teenagers. Lest we forget that they seem to think that sexually active teenage women will somehow shock us, as if we were never teenagers. I know I make it sound like the show sucks, it does not. The actors themselves are worth watching the show for, the show has a lot of charm, and as I said to begin with a good direction for Nancy Drew. P.S. To the reviewers complaining about this particular adaptation, the books you read when you were children are adaptations. The original Nancy Drew from 1930s kept evidence from the police in the very first novel.

Unfortunately what had started as a very interesting and fun show to watch has devolved into what appears to be bored writers and bad directing. One of those situations we've seen far too often where the characters continuously do the wrong thing and act like complete morons in a given situation just to further the storyline and fill the season. The show runner is either otherwise occupied or just doesn't care enough to take this great cast of characters and make sure the writing is something worthy of them, and the great actors that play them. I can only hope some changes will be made if there's going to be a season 4 so I can get back to enjoying the show the way I did in seasons 1 and 2. 👎
