Anybody been watching this? I watched the first two episodes and I'm diggin it. I was never a big Archie fan but I was familiar with most of the characters. The writing is cheesy sometimes ("It's the redhead Ansel Elgort" ) but the mystery element is cool. Also the ladies playing Betty and Veronica...

I caught the first half of the premiere. I enjoyed it, although a little bored with the student-teacher relationship.

It's alright, though Archie himself is very bland, but the rest of the cast is pretty good.

Watched the first 5 mins just to get a sense of it, and I think I'm going to try it. Same as you, I never really read Archie but I am familiar with the characters. I think this is going to be a pretty good angle for this kind of show.

I really liked the Archie comics when I was younger. I haven't checked this out yet, but I do plan to. I'm just nervous about it since it seems like they retool the comics to be like Pretty Little Liars.

Huh. I loved the comic books growing up and think it's cool there is such a drastic take with this adaptation... might give it a try.

I'm kinda pissed that they aren't adapting Li'l Archie for this show.

The kid from Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Big Daddy is stealing this show. The Disney channel kid in me is so proud.

I'm kinda enjoying it in a trashy pulp sort of way. It gets away with a lot based on novelty, and some of the writing definitely falls into that annoying over-written dialogue full of unnecessary references type of thing, but it's not a horrible way to spend an hour on Thursday.

I'm hooked. There's a bit of Gossip Girl, and there's a LOT of eye candy.

I keep hearing how good it is, but I hate PLL and i'm really nervous that this show is too similar to PLL.

Yeah, the show gets kind of annoying with the references. This week's episode also felt pretty dry up until literally the last few minutes. Also I feel like Cole Sprouse is fine as Jughead but his narration sort of sounds like he's forcing the words out...if that makes sense.

I understand, but he's a 16 year old noir writer-wannabe, so the narration being awkward makes sense.

I have yet to see this show but everyone has been telling me to watch it. I've seen the trailers and it looks weird and cool. I don't know, I feel like it's a cross between Dawson's Creek and Twin Peaks. I don't know what to think of it, I'll let you know when I've binged caught up. What do you guys think? Rate/vote above.

It's alright. I like it. Glad there are some fans of that show here too.

I only watch it because of KJ Apa, he is so hot! The show in general is nothing special. We have all seen it before.

I feel like all the adults, except maybe Archie's dad, are all fucking assholes. The Blossoms and Mrs. Cooper in particular seem like irredeemable scum. Then Josie's dad was a fucking prick in his introduction. I hope this doesn't go the way of Glee and make every single character an insufferable shitbag.

LMAO! I'm like, WTF, and I'm still in season 3 or something. I actually watched the first season of this, when it was only slightly insane. WTF happened? This has to be most bonkers show of all time.

I bailed when they became teachers, but yeah, this show went into some truly whacked-out places. It's basically Twin Peaks for teens on PCP.
