Yeah, this is Nancy Drew in name only. It can be argued that she changed significantly over the course of the novels, but this is extremely far removed from Actually being Nancy Drew.
The CW did a worse job on this than they did Riverdale. The absolute worst part is the constant mentions of the actual Nancy Drew, apparently somewhere in her history, she was the character that people knew and loved from the novels.
And, like Riverdale, I'm pretty sure I already solved the mystery and we're only a few weeks into it. But that's because they are spending more time focusing on making it edgy and sexy and not enough time on making an actual plot. That and there is enough hint of the new popular woke politics to limit the antagonist to only a specific race, gender, and sexuality.
