Kristen Bell starred (well, technically stars, thanks to the recent Hulu reboot) as Mars, a popular teen girl turned outcast private detective when her best friend (Amanda Seyfried) is murdered and Veronica’s sheriff father blames the most powerful man in town. If any show was going to take the top slot over The O.C., it would have to be Veronica Mars, which marries the gorgeous sunny setting and class dynamics of its competitor with our current obsession with teen murder mysteries.
Still, to those who question its placement as #10, I will argue that despite its shortcomings, there is no teen drama that has launched actors' careers and impacted youth culture as quickly as Riverdale since #3 on this list. To be honest, the series hasn't been what I'd describe as “good” since season one-which I will defend as immaculate television with my dying breath. Stick around for the iconic one-liners, stunning costuming, sexy teens, and sublimely chaotic musical episodes. Don’t like a plotline? It’ll probably be wrapped up in half a season, anyway. Though the CW series has its share of missteps and critics, the dedication to its noir, timeless setting, and absolute disregard for any attempt at realism makes it one of the most fun, eye-catching shows on television.

In just its first two seasons, Riverdale developed some of the most popular ships in recent TV history. Yes, Archie (but make it sexy) is number 10 on this list. Plus, it romanticized a teacher-student relationship for far too long (sorry, Ezria shippers).Īvailable to purchase on Amazon Prime Video. However, PLL sometimes stumbled by focusing too much energy on the antagonist, which became a touch repetitive and stunted in later seasons. The show quickly set itself apart by capitalizing on its mystery to format as a thrilling psychodrama. Instead of rich Upper East Siders, PLL gave you middle-class suburban teens, and instead of Gossip Girl, there was the even more sinister “A.” The series even picks up when Aria (Lucy Hale) returns after leaving town, just like Serena from G.G. Pretty Little Liars was so fun because it almost read like Gossip Girl fan fiction in the best possible way.
Pretty Little Liars followed four teen girls-Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily-who came together to investigate the supposed death of a close friend, only to find themselves under siege by an unknown foe who threatened to reveal all their deepest, darkest secrets.
