"Riverdale" first premiered in Jan. 2017. The television series focuses on Archie Andrews (based off the Archie Comics) and his life in the small town of Riverdale. Other key characters include Betty, Veronica and Jughead. The first season of the show mainly focuses on the murder of Jason Blossom and discovering who did it and why. The whole town was shook up by the murder and their safe secure lives were messed with. The season itself plays out like a murder mystery going back and forth between who killed Jason. There are many things about this show that make it so interesting to watch.

The main plot of the show in itself is interesting enough to make you want to binge watch all the episodes. I know personally I was a little hesitant to watch the show because I don't do scary-intense shows, but "Riverdale" got me. Once you find out that the small town's world has been flipped upside down, you want to see how it plays out in the end. With the mystery of Jason's murder and unrequited love between Betty and the boy next door you can't help but root for every one of them. Even the new city girl, Veronica, who's just trying to make a good name for herself in Riverdale and shed her troubled past. Either way if you watch the first episode, you'll be hooked.

Judging by the gif above, you now know Cole Sprouse is one of the main characters in the series. If you weren't a fan of "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody," then I don't know what you were doing, but clearly Cole is amazing. Finding out he was even still acting was a surprise for me, but after watching in the show I've fallen in love with him all over again. Cole plays the part of Jughead an out of place kid whose dad is troubled and whose family has been apart for years. He struggles to fit in, but doesn't want to conform either which makes him even better. With his bad boy vibes, but his season one love, you can't help but root for Jughead's success in his Riverdale life. I must say he is definitely a reason to watch the show if not for the plot.

If the plot of the series and Cole Sprouse don't suit your fancy, then the rest of the characters have got to. My favorites are Archie and Veronica. With Archie's classic boy next door vibes and his classic looks, he's definitely a heartthrob of the series. Even his singing skills combined with his spot on the football team, he's like the Zac Efron of "Riverdale." Who doesn't love that? Then there's Veronica–the new girl–who right off the bat becomes friends with Betty and forms a name for herself other than what her dad's arrest put on her. She definitely has a rebel side, which I totally admire about her. Her straight forward demeanor and sassy attitude make for a great show.

Now, I know what you're thinking. You're really tempted to watch "Riverdale" right now, which you definitely should. You don't have to take my word for how great it is–see for yourself!
