RIGHT?! I loved it.

Have you seen either Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase (the film) or the CW's Nancy Drew, out of curiosity?

[escritoireazul]

I have not seen the movie, but I watched the first episodes of the new show, and I'm really enjoying it. I was a little leery of all the character changes in it, because one of the things I love about the books is how much friendship plays a part of the stories, but I find the CW show delightfully creepy, and I like the characters a lot.

I enjoyed the movie in a different way than I enjoyed the CW show. It was short and sweet, and more of a callback to the books in a lot of ways.

The CW show is definitely a "oh, we do need a Sabrina-esque show, but maybe without the cannibalism and Satan-worshipping, this will definitely work" and I love that it's had the supernatural stuff added to it. The character changes only work for me because I can see the characters tentatively working their way into friendships, which I like the development of instead of having the insta-friendship which we don't get to see forming.

Also Ned-who-prefers-Nick is still totally gone on Nancy even while everyone warns her off him, and she's a little wary, but mostly gone on him, and I kind of adore that given that I read those books early on and also pretty well jammed on that pairing. I don't remember Ned's buds who were George and Bess' kinda-boyfriends at all, and so their loss is not a problem for me, especially with Ace and his hidden depths.
