13 Times Archie's Abs Were the Most Important Character on Riverdale
If you're immersed in the dark, moody world of Riverdale, chances are you're twisting your mind in pretzels trying to guess who the serial killer is in the small town. Additionally, if you're like us, there's something else you're probably twisting your mind in pretzels over: the undeniable hotness of Archie Andrews (KJ Apa). We could spend time waxing poetic about his flawless eyebrows and perfectly messy hair, but there's one other aspect of him that the show seems keen on showing off every single week: his beautiful, beautiful abs. Join us as we pay tribute to Riverdale's greatest gift.
