Man, this is wild. "Drew" might be worth a watch.

I was hoping "Exit Strategy" was on there (Ethan Hawke leads a CIA team that helps agents with blown covers escape bad scenarios) but no dice.

I watched "Drew" last night. It deviates greatly from the books and uses the character names. Still, it was an interesting watch and it did give off the vibe of "The Nancy Drew Files" which was a books series in the 1980s that was darker and grittier than the classic books. Not sure about the NYC detective angle but I guess they didn't want to do another small town mystery series yet again (not that the NYC choice was any better).

This was passed over by CBS who decided to pick up "Doubt" instead, which was another pilot written by the same people who wrote "Drew". That ended up being cancelled so it's up in the air whether or not "Drew" would have done better or not.

I just watched the pilot of Drew and that was actually a pretty good pilot!

Just watched Drew - definitely worth a watch... and now I am pissed that CBS passed on it
