In today’s day and age, we’re overrun with TV series – and we’re in two minds about it. On the one hand, we’re totally stoked that we have so many episodes to sink our teeth stuck into (as well as the ten tubs of Ben & Jerry’s we bought for the binge session). But on the other hand, we’re totally OVERWHELMED that we have so many episodes to get through. Where do we start? Which series should we see first?
Do we have the capability to watch three different series at the same time? Oh man, this is so hard. However, there are some TV series that reign supreme. Yep, it’s fair to say that nowadays, the likes of Stranger Things (season 1 AND 2 – we don’t discriminate), How to Get Away With Murder, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Riverdale constitute some of the greatest TV series currently being made – though if you want our opinion, it’s Riverdale that’s the real top dog at the moment.
Based on the characters within the epic Archie Comics universe, Riverdale has taken the world of Netflix by storm ever since its release in January 2017. This show follows the life of Archie Andrews as he goes about his life in the tiny, secluded town of Riverdale. But of course, it’s not all sweetness and blossoms in Riverdale. Instead, there’s crime, infidelity, brutal massacres, and a hidden darkness that is beginning to make its way out of the fog. Basically, it’s just awesome television. With an incredible cast under its belt, Riverdale has proved immensely popular – but there is one character who is proving exceptionally so, thanks in part to his being played by the original teen heartthrob from Beverly Hills, 90210 in the ‘90s. We’re talking, of course, about Luke Perry.
From 1990 until 1995, Luke Perry dominated our screens when he appeared as brooding Dylan McKay in the popular TV series. This show followed the life of twins Brandon (played by Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (played by Shannen Doherty) as they moved from their hometown in Minnesota to the thriving, rich, and flashy lifestyle of Beverly Hills. With a whole host of new friends (including the brooding Dylan), the siblings go through an awkward transition into a life of debauchery, love, friendship, parties, shopping and more.
Although we loved the show, nothing came close to our love for Dylan and Brenda’s relationship. Despite the fact it has been a couple of decades since 90210 has graced our screen, Riverdale’s Luke Perry has proven that he still cares for his then-on-screen girlfriend, as he paid a heartwarming tribute to Shannen Doherty…

An epic TV show would not be complete without an epic romance. In All in the Family there was Archie and Edith Bunker, in The Simpsons there’s Homer and Marge (truly a romance that defined generations), in Friends, there was Ross and Rachel (who, obviously, were each others’ lobsters), in Stranger Things there’s Eleven and Mike, and in Riverdale, there is Betty and Jughead. However, the winning couple just has to be Dylan and Brenda from Beverly Hills, 90210. Amazingly, after a tough few years, Luke Perry has proven that he still cares for his on-screen girlfriend, Shannen Doherty, and our hearts can’t take it.
