Two things that confound me about the Apple Watch is a)<\/strong> why Apple is so insistent on packing it with \u2026 but it is a mess to actually use. <\/p>\n Customizing the Apple Watch within the boundaries of what it actually is \u2013 a fitness device with quick access to micro-views of the iPhone \u2013 is a better way to take advantage of its usability. My personal pick is the It\u2019s glanceable, and the large mid area is great for more in-depth information. (In this case, And if you want a face that looks like a high-end analogue watch?

(See Riverdale<\/em>.)<\/p>\n And this time, things have changed<\/em>.<\/p>\n After a long, fruitful career as a teenage sleuth, Nancy is retired, living the tail end of her teenage years as a high-school student and a server at a local diner. That\u2019s right, this new, gritty take on the 1960s literary icon features a haggard, burnt-out investigator.<\/p>\n But I\u2019ll be damned if she doesn\u2019t get pulled back in for just one last case.<\/p>\n What is the nightmare from her childhood all about? Who killed Tiffany Hudson? Why are a) all the inhabitants of Horseshoe Bay haunted by J-Horror ghosts, and b) why does nobody talk about it? These are baffling mysteries indeed.<\/p>\n Starring as our eponymous hero is Kennedy McMann, who, like the rest of the teens, looks just old enough to be ready to seriously invest in a retirement plan. Impressively, she looks senior to her TV dad, Scott Wolf.<\/p>\n So pretty much everything about Nancy Drew<\/em> is ridiculous. It is also downright mesmerizing. You\u2019d have to be clinically dead not to find this show entertaining. And credit where credit is due \u2013 the cast does a laudable job with scripts delivered by the creators of Gossip Girl<\/em>.
