I would like to say this simply and honestly.
I am aware that in the US television, high school is always a big deal. And maybe the local audience can even relate to relationships and situations advertised in this kind of stories, but no, this is not non-american material.
The production is amazing. The work with set, scenes and performances is incredible. I would like to sum up the show as visually stunning.
However if you are looking for a deep story, realistic characters, tension or something new, you will not find it here. The story line is pure cliche, characters are stereotyped for easy-going story. Of course, the events that take place in the series are huge and influential in real life, but you cannot take them seriously enough if they are presented so trivially and childishly.
To sum up, I am not sure if I can explain how generally the US. audience is different from the rest, but I can see this as perfect series for them, and terrible for others. This is just another Riverdale BS.
