I kind of like the idea of adapting the characters from the Archie comics and then giving them another way of life. With every character having its own screen space and a background story it becomes a lot more interesting to watch them solve problems and fall in love.
But, on the contrary many side stories remain unsaid leaving the viewers with alot of unanswered questions. Many plots remain unexplained and a few supporting characters are not seen much though have played a significant role.
The series has a balance of romance and thrill. Totally worth a watch!
