In my own quest to temporarily avoid whatever bothers me，I find a respite(喘息)in a

particular kind of television：teen dramas.

Every Thursday night lately I find myself a seat at the diner of Pop’s Chock’Lit Shoppe and

watch“Riverdale”.It tells the story of some teenagers who’ve been around for more than 75

years.Airing on the CW，“Riverdale”holds my attention even when they get unrealistic

Teen dramas like “Riverdale” have gradually become popular with fans of all ages around the world.In 2014，a comedy series called“Jane the Virgin”first aired on the CW。and though viewers were slow to catch on，the show quickly gained recognition，including a Golden Globe nomination for best musical and a win for its star，Gina Rodriguez.

Television has long been considered as a place where we can explore lives so unlike our

own.Whether discovering the fantastical battles for power in the seven kingdoms of“Game of

Thrones”or following four friends as they navigate romance in“Sex in the City”.television is a

place where we can be anyone but ourselves and stay away from boring daily routines.

Teen dramas have a function to surprise and delight viewers，and that’S what makes them the

perfect watching experience.At a time when SO much of the future seems uncertain，teen dramas like“Riverdale”provide US with a temporary comfort.

I want my television time to be a period of comfort and ease.For the briefest moment，1 want to

pretend to live in a town where the only news of the day is whether Veronica Lodge and Archie

Andrews really kissed during seven minutes in heaven.

Maybe as an adult，I should be more invested in the political news.But at a time when we’re

always connected to the news around US and everything is moving at the pace of 4G，teen dramas are exactly what I need and love now.I look forward to that one hour each night where I can get relaxed，turn off my smartphone and pretend to be somewhere else.
