Drew

The network didn't pick up Drew, because the show was "too female" for their schedule in 2016 even after the pilot did very well with audiences. Imagine a book about a little girl detective, turned 30-something law enforcement agent, solving crime in the big city being too female. The network that gave us five NCIS series with one being sort of led by a female lead and Sydney, with the worst female co-led procedural ever, thought that girl detective, who has amassed an international fandom since it was first written, was "too female". Or was it because Nancy Drew was not going to be played by a blue eyed blond/readhead?
