#THE CAST OF NANCY DREW AND THE HARDY BOYS SERIES#
This is the third time a series about this character has been made. A television series based on these books and the titular character has now been created. Kids will be most likely to come back for his performance.Originally, Nancy Drew was a series of mystery books that were written by various ghostwriters and published under the collective pseudonym, Carolyn Keene. He's also like a mini- MacGyver who can pick any lock, knows Morse code, and picks up other handy skills with ease. Alexander Elliot, as Joe, makes the biggest impression as a charismatic sass machine to brother Frank's (Rohan Campbell) stoic solidity. Overall there's a comfortable, '80s-TV slowness to the show, the writing meanders, and the performances are serviceable. Getting entangled in many mysteries is to be expected, but their own mother's death is the central one, making the show more emotionally demanding than earlier series. In the small town of Bridgeport where they have to spend the summer, the boys immediately become friends with a cast of refreshingly racially diverse kids (and best bud Biff is now female). The show dispatches the loving, grounding mother in the first act - she's tailed in her car and, we assume, run off the road because she was an investigative journalist (a vocation hidden from her kids). It feels nostalgic for parents and will remind today's kids of a less edgy Stranger Things. This latest is a Canadian production, set presumably in the 1980s, if we judge by the sepia tones, the soundtrack, old technology, and parent-free lifestyle of small-town kids.

Dixon) and has seen many TV productions since the 1950s, most memorably in the late 1970s, when the brothers teamed up with Nancy Drew in a show that capitalized on Shaun Cassidy's heartthrob appeal. Though possibly new to today's kids, The Hardy Boys' provenance goes back to pre-Depression days (a book series written by many authors under the name Franklin W. This version of brothers Frank and Joe's adventures explores new territory (they're younger, their mother has died violently, it's set in the '80s), but ultimately feels stale but solid. I would recommend to others with kids 12 and older but I’d caution parents to make time to watch together and be engaged with discussion about the intensity in some scenes. My mature 13-year old found it an interesting show to watch and mostly engaging. I can work with some of the rough acting and longer-than-necessary time to build a plot. Patents and children should be prepared to discuss the death of a loved one, the process of grief and acceptance and to be ready to answer questions. I would want parents to know the show starts off fairly intense with a serious accident and the loss of a parent. I’d think that information should be disclosed in the rankings, even though there is no outright activity, it’s definitely implied. There also seems to be an implied romantic same-sex relationship between the aunt and the police woman who are secondary characters to the kids. And while not “sexual” there is a romantic conflict (love triangle?) with Frank and his new friends in Bridgeport that is not mentioned or highlighted.in my opinion should be noted. Specifically Common Sense gives zero stars for “sex” related themes but there’s a fairly strong / PG-13 kissing scene with Frank and his girlfriend on the first episode. Some of the rankings seem a little off to me.
