Reviewer notes

Recommended
Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend, particularly for younger audiences. It's definitely inspired by Nancy Drew (they drop the name somewhere as a joke), but isn't one itself. It's a good coming of age / identity story about investigating a mystery: it's somewhat funny, but the premise is that it's stuck up little rich kids (mostly) that have to get a taste of the real world. Sadly...
