About Riverdale
Archie comics may have been the gateway title that got pre-teen me to get a subscription box at my local comic store, tailing in the wake of my older siblings. I loved the good-natured, wacky antics of Archie and his Riverdale pals. Take those innocent, iconic characters, influenced even in the 1990s by their sock hop and soda fountain-era origins, and dump them into a David Lynch-ian world of murder and mayhem, and you have Riverdale, the addictive teen drama from the CW. Riverdale features all the familiar characters from the vintage comic series, primarily the red-headed football star Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), his best friend Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse), girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), and wealthy socialite Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes). However, the teens’ lives bear little resemblance to their original ink likenesses: Archie is much less innocent, Jughead’s darker humor comes in the form the wry, philosophical commentary of a social outcast, and both Betty and Veronica have too many skeletons in their families’ closets to keep track of. They all live in a dark and stylish take on small town secrets and mysteries. Murder? Check. Secret babies? Check. Stalkers, gangs, and mob ties? Check, check, and check. Plus the normal dose of teen angst, love triangles, and questionable choices recognizable from the likes of Dawson’s Creek. The end result? A trashy, culty, and obsessively fun teen drama that is in its sixth season and seems to be going strong.
