My dad is asking for a definition of "thirsty show" and I have no answer???
Had the Sabrina and Riverdale shows simply done away with the springboard concept of the Archie comics, no one would have been the wiser, however, there is a certain je ne sais quoi in colliding the sunny mid-century America teen pulp of the original comic with the uncanny morbidity the current shows serve up. Sabrina, in particular, was a bit of a shock. But after you get used to it, the last three episodes were genuinely great.

Is this guy trying to get elected as ‘The Sheitan’? That remake he’s got on Netflix is pretty subversively revolting. It may be an accident that a show about a young girl, who also happens to be a witch, is being aired while America is in the midst of what some people actually believe to be a “witch hunt,” or it may be exactly what it seems.

We started "Sabrina" last night, very dark and creepy- love it!

I have watched some of Riverdale. It is dark, twisty, the people all too beautiful, and the kids too deep for real teenagers. It's brilliant and I wish I had thought of it first! My young teen kids love it.

Whatever happened to Afterlife With Archie? It was one of the best comics on the stands a few years ago. Why isn't it being published anymore?

I heard it was the demand of the writer to oversee, Riverdale and later Sabrina that both these books haven't seen a new issues in over a year or more. I hope he finds time to either finish them or pass them on to a new capable writer.
I tried watching "Riverdale," the new Archie, on Netflix. It's hard to follow what's going on when I have to pause it every five minutes to go vomit.
He's going to pick up that guitar and sing? I'll need to step out again.
The contrived teen-drama-seriousness of it is undigestible.
