Nancy Drew - The Curse of the Dark Storm TV review

In a (literally) stormy episode, Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) and Nick (Tunji Kasim) will lay their cards on table and do some sleuthing while Nancy mulls over the offer of throwing Nick to the police in order to have her own pending criminal charges expunged.

The Lighthouse is a tense psychological drama presented mostly from the view of Pattinson’s character as we see one, or possibly both, men descend into madness. Set in the late 19th Century, there’s no outside communication of any kind as the pair are completely isolated. As odd things begin to happen, who do we believe?
