Busted families, broken hearts, secrets and corruption are the lifeblood of The CW’s gothic horror series Riverdale. The show is based on the original Archie comics, but this sinister town is a far cry from the wholesome, anyplace USA depicted in 80 years of the teen adventures featuring Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and the rest of the gang. This Riverdale is an other-worldly, ominous place where enigmatic parents and cunning town leaders hide wicked secrets while teens struggle to survive. The Riverdale gang face the definitive dilemma: good vs. evil. They fight ghouls, a cult leader, a serial killer, and each other—all while sporting inspiring outfits and photo-ready hair. Great music, the occasional Vixens cheer dance-off, and too-steamy-for-high-school sex scenes add an undeniable layer of watchability to the fan-favorite show. This bestselling Binge Watcher’s Guide will get you through all seven seasons. Keep the book beside you while binging; the trivia, quotes and episode commentaries will inform and entertain. Want more? The literary analysis, connection to the comics, and resources have you covered.

What's Next? The Bingewatchers' Guide to the West Wing looks back at the classic television show 25 years later. Aaron Sorkin's political drama had an enormous influence on American politics. The show is a time-capsule from the political moment after the Berlin Wall fell, but before 9/11. This first book focuses on the first two seasons of the show, examining how the television show explains political issues, scandals, and vision. The West Wing was a show about political optimism, something that's hard to imagine now; it also influenced less optimistic political dramas including Shonda Rhimes' Scandal and even sitcoms including Parks and Recreation.
