that's one of the problems i have with this show. they're literally in high school but because of all the drama or shit they go through, they literally seem like grown ass adults. plus, they're all super sexualized

It's if 17 Magazine became a drama tv show.

They actually are adults. The show runner wanted to do this with underage kids and CW put their foot down.

Yes, that’s true.

I heard about it in a YouTube video.

It actually makes sense in that an underage Archie has sex with a 35 year old teacher.

Would you happen to remember the channel, or perhaps the video name? I’d love to watch.

Riverdale: The biggest Anomaly in TV History by Friendly Space Ninja.

It’s long. He also reviews the rest of the “shows” that this guy has made.

After watching it I started to realize why the Archieverse has it’s oddities.

It's easier to film with adults as you don't have child labor laws breathing down your neck plus the kids need on set tutors for their school work and the youngest kids need chaperones.

And that's why the original Degrassi was popular. Actual kids that could barely act.

*Cue obligatory episode with Archie sweating and panting while shirtless*

Plus, they, you know, look like adults.
