So basically the same as any cliche bad boy/girl from every movie/tv show/book/dating sim ever made. George doesn't seem to have much of an personality beyond a bad attitude, tattoos, and a leather jacket. Totally annoyed that they casted a skinny girl to play Bess, it's 2019 I expected her original weight to not be ignored/shamed. George and Bess(no longer cousins) may be the biggest offenders next to Carson Drew. A lot of the characters don't feel like the characters they're supposed to be.
I will admit the fact that the change from white to black also meant a change from honor student quarterback to ex-con, was not the smartest move on their part.
The actor mostly fits Ned's basic description (tall,dark and handsome lol) and his loyalty to Nancy. Ned is seemingly the only character that has the most in common with his book counterpart, which isn't to say it's accurate. It tied up threads almost too quickly (already).
Right off the bat with the pilot, it doesn't have the true Nancy Drew feel and if the pilot is supposed to set up the rest of the series it doesn't bode well. It tied As a long time fan of Nancy Drew I can safely say that this series wasn't made for long time fans.
