I don't like how it is not consistent with almost anything from the books, I mean where do I begin, First the age for joe is wayyyyyy off, Secondly Callie is supposed to be blond, Chet is supposed to be fat, and Biff is supposed to be a guy what the heck. Why is Collig a bad guy this hurts me emotionally as he is a role model to the brothers in the books. Also, this is supposed to be set in Bayport. But in the show they are calling it Bridgeport or something. As a stand alone thing separate from the books it is a great show however I do not recognize it as a cannon part of what the hardy boys are supposed to be.
