Well, yikes, this is going to be a bad adaptation. I will never understand why people refuse to make their own, original show. Instead, they insist on adapting existing material, changing a lot and making it worse. Sometimes, being a close replica is better than taking an already-existing premise, characters, and whatnot, and making it worse, regardless of whether or not the attempt is to honor the source material. I'm sure most fans of the books would've rathered this to be an almost, exact copy of what the books represent but in a TV show format. I'll watch the rest, but it would've been better if there wasn't the lingering shadow of being based on the Nancy Drew books to distract. Now, that fact will always be in the back of my mind when I'm watching this show.
