Netflix description: "While navigating the troubled waters of sex, romance, school and family, teen Archie and his gang become entangled in a dark Riverdale mystery."
Why you should watch it: Since the 1940s, the Archie Comics have told the wholesome story of all-American teenager Archie Andrews, whose biggest problem is deciding whether to date classmates Betty Cooper or Veronica Lodge. In 2017, The CW plopped those classic characters into a live-action teen noir filled with murder mysteries and organized crime.
Sure, the soapy, melodramatic antics of "Riverdale" can get pretty unhinged, but it's undeniably fun to watch a show take a familiar story and swing for the fences.
