* CultClassic: ''Nancy Drew'' was never the highest rated series on The CW, but it made it to four seasons due to a dedicated audience that supported the show and stuck with it. Up until its final season, [[https://tvline.com/rankings/ratings-2021-2022-tv-season-best-worst-cw-1234770908/ the series enjoyed the largest DVR bump in ratings of any series on the CW]], which meant the audience was indeed there, albeit not watching live.

* SeasonalRot: In contrast to some of the points noted above, the lack of an overall story has also negatively effected the story as several plotlines are juggled without rhyme or reason. And while there is more focus on the characters, there is little in the way of development. The ratings also reflect dropping interest; discounting the series premiere, the first season averaged around 656,000 viewers (high of 813,000, low of 489,000). By contrast the second season has average around 465,000 (high of 628,000, low of 376,000).
