Yeah, this is Nancy Drew in name only. It can be argued that she changed significantly over the course of the novels, but this is extremely far removed from Actually being Nancy Drew. The CW did a worse job on this than they did Riverdale. The absolute worst part is the constant mentions of the actual Nancy Drew, apparently somewhere in her history, she was the character that people knew and loved from the novels. And, like Riverdale, I'm pretty sure I already solved the mystery and we're only a few weeks into it. But that's because they are spending more time focusing on making it edgy and sexy and not enough time on making an actual plot. That and there is enough hint of the new popular woke politics to limit the antagonist to only a specific race, gender, and sexuality.

This Space for Rent is a Canadian dramedy on CBC starring Dov Tiefenbach that premiered on January 4, 2006 as a 'special' CBC pilot as part of its "Comedy Week". Tiefenbach plays Lucky Carroway, a recent university graduate and writer who finds that life after university is not as perfect as it might seem. The show begins shortly after his valedictorian speech, when his world comes crashing down after his first book is rejected by his literary agent. His life becomes worse as his arch-nemesis becomes a published author who appears in "Vancouver Magazine's" top 10 writers list. He becomes a recluse who constantly wears his graduation robe and plays video games all day. However, he quickly recovers by writing a vicious 'letter to the editor' to Vancouver Magazine where he decries the selection of his arch-nemesis as a top 10 writer. This letter angers so many readers of the magazine that they offer him a job as an anonymous "Hate Male" article writer. He lives in downtown Vancouver in a flat with several friends. Emily Hampshire plays a recent law school graduate named Iona Goldenthal, a binge drinker who must deal with the chauvinistic world of law.
