I agree. My daughter (16) and I have similar tastes and we like the 2nd season better for sure. We both make gagging noises when there are drippy teenage love scenes, so we fast-forward then.
Both my daughter and I watched the first 4 or 5 episodes of Riverdale. She gave up after 3 episodes - "God -- they think teenagers are like this? Hard Pass!" I stopped an episode or later when Betty tried to seduce someone...could be Reggie or whomever...just felt very icky.
Sabrina has actual acting...but Riverdale - I've seen our local High School productions, and they were far better. Also -- inside scuttlebut -- the cast & crew on Sabrina are all good buddies and Riverdale, well, not so much. Friends of friends work on it.
Riverdale and Sabrina are often filmed semi-nearby so it's fun for that factor.
