Well, in my opinion, this show sucks really bad!! It's total garbage! I'd suggest not even attempting a viewing.Comment

I never was an Archie fan so this is an easy pass for me. plus, from what I hear, other than the names, this show has nothing to do with the comicsComment

I've not seen much about it, but what I have has looked intriguing. The Archie Gang meets Twin Peaks vibe is different, and it looks like it is shot beautifully. Is your problem with the acting? The story? The deviations from the classic comic? If it is a stinker, I don't want to waste my time with it.Comment

Just started episode one tonight so no opinion yet.“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”Comment

Some might find it interesting, but I found it to be offensive at a lot of points in the show. It deals with subject matter that is not how any of the original characters would have acted or participated in. If I wasn't a fan of the comics, I still wouldn't watch it. Too many agendas being pushed in something that I wanted to watch. I find no character in it likeable. You can try it and see if it's got anything you find interesting.Comment

I grew up reading Archie comics, and I'm a huge fan of Twin Peaks, so I was willing to give this show a chance. But I wasn't very impressed with the pilot. The "Twin Peaks" elements are all on the surface, but there is none of that deep-down strangeness that made Twin Peaks so creepy, weird, and cool. Nor is there any of the goofy, charming fun that I enjoyed from Archie comics when I was a kid. It's basically just a typical CW teen drama with a murder-mystery and Archie comics characters shoehorned in. After watching it, it's hard for me to imagine who this show is going to appeal to.Comment

I didn't hate it but don't know if it has a long-term future. I actually would have liked it better without the murder mystery. As far as the characters I compare this to Marvel's ultimate line. A different universe with a harder edge. I am willing to at least check out the next episode. The biggest problem it has is it doesn't really stand out.Comment

Wanted to give it a try, as I like the alternative Archie comics like Afterlife & Sabrina. But I only made it 1/2 way through and gave up. I understand it's not the same classic characters, but c'mon!
Archie & Miss Grundy(!) in a student teacher sex case? Not to mention statutory rape since Archie is (supposed) only 16 years old- a high school sophmore. I'm no prude, and I see this stuff on the news a lot, but I found it offensive. Just my opinion, but no.Comment

Archie has changed so many times over the years you just have to take it as another version. What gets me is it seems like they may be working in there own version of Archie Zombie comic book.Visit my wiki site:
