    This show was like an American teen show written by Mexican telenovela writers. I’d see one day Archie is a boxer, another day he’s like racing cars, then he’s a gang leader. What a weird ass show, my wife liked it but she says it got weirder and weirder

    I watched some of this as it was coming out. At one point the main character’s girlfriend had to strip herself into a gang in front of her boyfriend’s dad to save the bf. There was also a family who just murdered people kind of casually to protect their maple syrup business. This was all in like 1.5 seasons before I feel off the show. It was wild.

      Show loosely based on the old Archie comics. Led by a guy who previously wrote a play about Archie living in Superman’s Metropolis, rooming and making out with a man heavily implied to be based on a real life serial killer. In hindsight, its a surprise Archie didn’t stop a nuclear bomb with his abs in S1.
