When they rebooted the main series (a year or so ago?) they still kept the main Archie character/plots/atmosphere. This doesn't seem to do that, at all. It looks to me like the characters are so...out-of-character...that they might as well not even bother. As for the horror comics (and other genres), they aren't intended to be taken seriously, nor made for high-profile TV networks.

This is my biggest gripe with the show. What would be wrong with Sherlock/Watson just, you know...investigating a mystery and then solving it in a stand-alone episode? The biggest issue with this show is that they are intent on having an over-arching, continuing plot-line (Mary and Moriarty, for example). There are too few episodes that are released too infrequently for this to be effective, IMHO. The plots also seem forced (Moriarty...Moriarty again!...Moriarty strikes back!).

"The good news is that the cops found blood on one of them!" It was Holmes who found the blood. I chuckled at that too...

"John is many things, but a guy who cheats on his beloved wife with some random chick who looked at him while he was on the bus? Nope." Agreed. Why are the writers on this show trying to destroy Watson with this sloppy plot line?

I've read the recent Archie stuff, so I'm aware that many of the comics are now "updated/edgy/modern/whatever", but these previews just look...bad. I mean, it seems like they could have made this show and called it whatever they wanted and made totally new characters. Why give this the Archie theme? Why use the Archie characters? There seems to be nothing Archie-like about any of this. Why bother?

Lol, I missed that. Maybe I should watch TV with headphones.... I agree with all of this. Well done.
