Shows like Riverdale and now The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina I find genuinely perplexing because they take what people read the comics for–humor and an often irrelevant tone–and turn them, in the case of the former, to essentially 90210.
It’s really odd and a little off-putting for me, which is why so have yet to see a full episode of Riverdale.
Though I’ll probably watch Sabrina–I take my horror (or horror adjacent) series where I can find them. It also works to my advantage that I was never into Sabrina in the comics so I don’t have anything to directly compare her to.
