The full cast of twenty-somethings have quirky backstories that may or may not come into play down the line, including most notably Nick, but I can’t say any of these performers left much of an impression on me in this opening entry to justify me caring. She’s reluctant to get attached, and and feels similarly towards her peers at the small restaurant at which she works. She does, however, have a new boyfriend, Ned “Nick” Nickerson (Tunji Kasim) who was convicted of a felony when he was still a minor. This unfortunately dashed her ambition to leave her small town for Columbia University. Nancy suffered this loss last year, during her senior year of high school, and the grief caused her to give up solving mysteries and tank her grades. She’s actually a waitress in her early 20s who has given up crime solving, for which she had become famous within her small Maine town, after the untimely death of her mother from an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer. You see, Nancy, played well by newcomer Kennedy McMann, is not a teen detective earnestly pursuing the truth wherever it lay. Sadly, after watching the first episode, The CW’s Nancy Drew falls victim to an entirely different set of unnecessary genre cliches.

When word broke four years ago that CBS was developing a new series with a couple of Grey’s Anatomy executive producers about an all grown-up Nancy Drew as an NYPD detective, I remember loudly asking to no one in particular, “Why?!?” Taking the story of a classic teen super-sleuth from a small town and turning it into a NYC-set police procedural about an adult woman seemed at once an inexplicable and downright predictable move by America’s parents’ favorite broadcast network.
