Good lord no, it's a corporate psuedonym like Franklin Dixon was for the Hardy Boys. Read a fair amount of those mysteries when I was young, but that was probably due to the Shaun Cassidy/Parker Stevenson series, of course.

My first Nancy Drew book was Mystery of the Broken Locket and I read every single one of original Nancy Drew's while in the 2nd grade. If you go to the Chesapeake public library in Virginia you will find the corners of pages in all the Nancy Drew books ripped off since I got addicted to eating the corners of the pages. They actually had a very pleasant taste if sucked on long enough. Maybe because they were so old.
Nu Drew sucks. Ned Nickerson is even lamer than expected and Nancy so cheats on him all the time. Wait a minute, maybe these were better.
I loved the Hardy Boys for all the HOyay moments. I bet they used those flashlights for other things too.

I pretty much tore through the books after that. Then the TV show came on and I could never quite reconcile the guys on the screen witht they guys in the books, which bothered me. I would argue with my sister about it. She didn't read the books, but she had a crush on Shaun Cassidy.

New Nancy Drew television series coming soon. She will be an adult detective working in NYC. Which begs the following questions: how much did they pay for the rights to an antiquated property, why didn't they just flush that money directly down the toilet, and can she also be a male alien with superpowers who's constantly farting because why not?

good/bad? I didn't even know there was a new show. the last I heard was the movie that had the girl from IT in it.

Emma Roberts playing her before kind of ruined a lot for me.
I saw a couple minutes of the new TV show. It's a Riverdale-style reinterpretation, yes?

i find riverdale to be ridiculous in an unpleasant way but the nancy drew show is high quality ridiculous, just some insane writing and plotting. easily the best show of 2019-20. plus you can gaze upon scott wolf's discount plastic surgery mangled face
