So I mostly enjoyed Nancy Drew, especially with the updates about her friends. I wish that her relationship with her father was better, though, because I loved the dynamic between Veronica Mars and her dad. Since the murder happened so quick, I was hoping that it would be solved in the pilot, but it looks like they're going to stretch the mystery out all season instead. The hauntings of dead Lucy seems to be entwined too, and I'm not sure I like the scary horror parts; if the ghost had just been kept as a spooky fog, or a trick that would be debunked later, that would be better. Anyway, it's a good start.
I kinda like Stumptown too, though I missed an episode and wonder if her brother is going to be more than just a stereotype. They're implying something happened with their parents, but I'm not familiar with the comic backstory. I'm not sure if the casino owner Sue Lynn Blackbird is going to recur as an adversary or eventually warm up to Dex.
I liked the Batwoman pilot, but unfortunately missed the 2nd episode. I forgot to set the season pass, and need to clear some more space on my Tivo anyway. As for returning shows, I'm relieved that Supergirl is back into comics/fantasy rather than trying to parallel real politics again. Last season was just too depressing and all over the place. Leave that to Black Lightning, which I hope will be more coherent than last season. They still haven't given up their long episode titles.
