    Instead of seeming empowered and cool, the show is dreadful, putting far too much effort in giving Nancy and her world a darker edge. ... Shoddy attempt to remold her.

I love how they mix mystery, drama, and horror all in one show. The writing and storyline are phenomenal, I love all of the horror elements. The acting is excellent especially from Leah Lewis, Alex Saxon, Maddison Jaizani, Kennedy McMann, and Scott Wolf. The visual effects are outstanding especially Dead Lucy. Overall a pretty terrific first season.… Full Review »

    Too many people Pidgeon Hole adaptations to be true to the book. So you either have it in 1930's America, or you update it.

Everyone on the show is miserable and neurotic and Nancy doesn’t even seem to any friends. It’s ridiculous. Furthermore, every teenager isn’t running around here having sex with everything that moves, so there was no excuse to inject meaningless sex in a less than 5 minutes in to the first episode. Modernizing a story does not mean including mindless promiscuity into it. I’m disgusted with the moronic professional critics not listening to the audience who say they don’t want this. Are they being paid? Do they have any taste? Was the point to make Nancy a miserable, licentious, and neurotic?… Full Review »
