In many ways, one could argue that this is reflective of our political climate—a direct response to the struggles of teenagers today.
Hallucinations, seizures, shootings, stabbings, a drug called"fizzle rocks"—these are just some of the things the students at Riverdale High are dealing with on this season of the CW's Riverdale. Taking place under the noir narration of South Side Serpent gang leader and lead character, Jughead Jones, the show is just one example of the dark, gothic trend of teen television today.
That doesn't mean that horrific events didn't intrude on these soapy realities: In one dramatic episode of One Tree Hill, the students of Tree Hill High School survive a school shooting. Degrassi, too, included a school shooting episode, leading to the character losing his ability to walk. Now, we have shows like Riverdale that have delved fully into noir, using gothic tropes and story lines that are often outside the realm of most teenagers' lives. Riverdale features, for instance, the show's lead, Archie, using his own blood to sign a book belonging to his girlfriend's father in order to prove his loyalty to the family. Sabrina has its titular character doing a similar thing, only she's using her own blood to sign a book belonging to the literal devil.
