25 shows to watch if you like Riverdale

Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant are completely adorable, and I can only hope that Betty and Jughead grow up to be this delightful.
The premise: Barrymore’s Sheila undergoes a super weird transformation (that we don’t really understand for a while), and she becomes hungry for human flesh. Although I guess she’s technically a “zombie,” she feels better than ever and looks amazing.
Her family acknowledges these changes, yet they all try to maintain their bright, suburban lifestyle as realtors, parents and upright citizens. They keep up their sunny, optimistic outlook on life, but it gets increasingly harder as she accidentally kills more and more folks.
Why you’ll like it: It’s so charming. You can’t resist Drew Barrymore anyway, but when she joins forces with Olyphant, they are just doing the most. Even as a half-hour comedy, it still traffics in black comedy. It is much more light-hearted than our Riverdale, but it still has an edge that you just can’t resist.
Where to find it: Both seasons of the Netflix original are available in full right now. They are a fun, quick watch, and you can blow right through them in a weekend … and then turn around and watch them all over again.
