I never like judging people by their looks, and the Young Kindaichi series was never about beautifully drawn characters and settings anyway. But I agree that the castings disappoint because the lead characters aren't really how I would have envisioned them to be (based on the manga) -- as I was saying, they all look much too old to be anywhere close to being high school students, and that takes a lot away from how I can immerse myself into the show.
Putting that aspect aside, the rest of the show mostly lives up to how the original Shonen Kindaichi Case Files were, so it is enjoyable in that sense.
