Is sexualizing characters the only way the cw can keep viewers, or can they maybe give good writing a shot? Seriously, the oversexualized teenagers living with each other in Riverdale with no consequences to their sex life isn't realistic, it's idealizing and it's telling your 16 yr old daughters to have sex all the time, and to move in with each other. It served simply as a segway for this show, so that a character known for her wholesomeness and detective skills can be accepted as just another oversexualized version of a this cultural icon. Sorry, but the only thing this version has in common with Nancy Drew is the name. Change the name and nobody would make a connection to the Nancy Drew canon.

Hey CW, watch Sherlock from the BBC and see how much sex was necessary for their success... never mind, it wasn't, they relied on good writing. I know they probably won't change this methodology since their writing will probably never be good enough to sell without sex.

Like I said in the title, sex sells.

I think so many here are rating the film based on accuracy as opposed to whether or not it was a good cinematic experience. If the film were called something else, and you didn't spend the entire time comparing it to some encyclopedia (or Wikipedia for a lot of you), would you have enjoyed it? Probably, because it was interesting, suspenseful, exciting, moving, and well acted.

Remember it is not supposed to be a documentary. If it were, then yes, rate it based on accuracy. Even then, many aspects of her life were included in the movie. I deduct 1 star for inaccuracy, and the other two because it isn't a perfect film.

How does a movie like Avengers filler with completely made-up, unrealistic, green giants and floating hammers rate 8/9? Because you're rating the movie, not the accuracy. Then you watch Harriet, and suddenly you're a historian and a film critic. I dare you to make your own film, and make it better.

Watch it, enjoy it, learn a little bit, appreciate a lot. 7/10.
