Archie reaches the pinnacle of rock and roll heaven; hit records, TV, movies and thousands of adoring fans, but cracks are beginning to show--it's terrifying at the top but the possibility of falling from it is far worse.
I continue to enjoy the Archie 1955 series even if it is way too familiar to me and hasn't found any particular beats that lets it stand out as an Archie story itself.
