IS “RIVERDALE” BASED ON A TRUE STORY?
“Riverdale” series is a TV show based on famous Archie comics. It does not describe a real story but looks realistic because of its character Archie, a regular high schooler who deals with everyday problems.
The TV series is just another stop in Archie Andrews’s life, a character who first appeared in the comics in 1941. The character played by Apa constantly deals with problems every high school student has had to deal with.
He wants to please his parents, always thinks about the big game, and wants to protect his community from danger. Unfortunately, he is stuck in one of fiction’s longest-running love triangles.
He loves Cooper and the wealthy Lodge, although he is dating Cooper. These problems are as real for any teenager as they are for Archie.
