When Nancy discovers evidence that her parents might have been involved, she also discovers that Lucy's ghost might be more real than she ever imagined.įrom there, Nancy and her friends realize that something big has happened to Lucy that it may be tied to other spooky things going on in Horseshoe Bay. But, hopefully, people can get a chance to experience it, because once things really heat up in season one, then, like the best sort of mystery novel, you’re going to want to see what happens next.Complicating matters is the fact that Nancy's father, Carson Drew ( Scott Wolf), is keeping secrets from her, and the fact that video footage from before Tiffany Hudson's death points to the killer being a ghost.specifically, "Dead Lucy," the ghost of Lucy Sable, a girl who died years ago and whose body was never found. It’s a shame because, well, it deserves more love.
So, yes, Nancy Drew is probably one of the best teen shows on television that no one is really watching. (Kudos to Leah Lewis, who is a force to be reckoned with on this series.) Even the requisite love triangle is great, especially when the person involved has her soul merged with another spirit. While tempers can run high, there’s always a chance of reconciliation after hashing things out. When someone fails to do so-usually Nancy-the other characters are more than happy to call them out.
Usually, everyone tends to be pretty open and communicative with each other in a way that is honestly refreshing.

The series is good at avoiding a lot of the normal pitfalls in teen shows. Yes, there is always a supernatural mystery in Horseshoe Bay, but there’s also a sort of knowledge that Nancy and the Drew Crew are more than capable and willing to put in the work and figure it out. The whole series is weird and wonderful, with the right amount of darkness and fear to keep you feeling like the characters are in danger. It just harkens back to a kind of supernatural teen drama that we haven’t really seen in a while. People get angry with each other, but they’re also there for each other if they’re needed. Yes, there are some growing pains early in season one, but once a groove is found between the cast and the writing team, it shines. More importantly, the series is just … fun. Nancy Drew doesn’t ignore a revelation just because the audience could possibly piece together the implications. When there is an ongoing mystery, the clues and revelations are built on in a way that makes sense. Big turns and surprises are built toward rather than being shoved in for the shock factor. The stories are always interesting, and the writers’ room for the series is under-appreciated. Nancy Drew takes time to connect the pieces. It’s a coming-of-age story taking place in a small, horror-filled town. Even as Nancy and her friends deal with these “cases,” from a god that needs to be forgotten to be powerful to a girl taken care of by the ghosts of pirates, the storylines are focused on family, friendship, first love, trying to find a place in the world. In season two, however, a season-long mystery takes a backburner to more episodic fare, with supernatural happenings and cursed artifacts on the loose in Horseshoe Bay, Maine. The whole thing revolves around Nancy (Kennedy McMann) and her friends looking into Lucy, now haunting Nancy, and how her case meshes with death of socialite heiress Tiffany Hudson. In the first season, the majority is focused on the case of Lucy Sable, “Dead Lucy,” who died a mysterious death by falling from a cliff into the ocean. The thing about Nancy Drew is that it strikes a good balance between episodic television and a serialized story. Is it on the level of Breaking Bad or WandaVision? No, but it does deserve a larger fanbase that what it seems to get, mainly because Nancy Drew harkens back to those early days of series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where there is a mystery to solve every week, a creative foe to take down, and a cast of lovable characters determined to keep the supernatural nonsense from taking over the world. Here’s the thing, though: The CW’s Nancy Drew is really good and deserves a lot more credit. So when The CW announced Nancy Drew, most folks went, “Oh great, another Riverdale clone,” and then proceeded not to watch it. From the endless “WTF” vibes of The CW’s Riverdale to just waiting for the announcement of another stab at Scooby Doo, popular properties are getting makeovers again and again in this media landscape. Remakes, revivals, and efforts to bring classic characters into the “modern age” are definitely getting a bit overplayed.
