After some more deliberation, I think it is reminding me more of "Desperate Housewives" meets Archie.
I've never seen DH, but it's very much in line with Gossip Girl, Scream, Veronica Mars and shows along that vein. Little edgier, but very much a drama simply directed to the 16-26 crowd
I don't think so? maybe. I was never a big Archie reader but it's definitely unlike any Archie comics I've ever read.
Its funny actually, I was a huge 'Archie' reader.
My dad was a Greyhound Bus Driver for 33 years, when people would go on the bus they'd buy those Archie comics before they left and since you can burn through one of those things in 10 uninterrupted minutes they'd just leave them on the Bus when they were done.
So, as it was my dad's responsibility to clear the Bus at the end of the trip, he'd just bring them home. Better than just trowing them out.

Nevermind. Thanks Urban Dictionary. Ugh. What is happening to this world?
Actually I got it from here:
Netflix dropped the first trailer for its new comedy series Dear White People today, and already broflakes (what I’ve decided to call MAGA hat-wearing dudes who complain about “snowflakes” but are themselves overly sensitive) are cancelling their accounts.

I watched the trailer and just read the premise. Not sure how this is going to go still. I guess we will se once it is released.
You could also watch the movie from 2 years ago.
It's basically making fun of racial tension on both sides. I think it'll be entertaining, but the alt-right is certainly having a meltdown about the title.
I'll watch!

I just confuse the "Dear white people" title (which I now understand is ironic?) with this sincere PSA video that MTV put out called "Dear White Guys":
What does 'CW' stand for and why is it unmistakably tied to teenage drama?
The CW is a tv network in the US. It was created about a decade ago by the merger of the UPN and The WB networks. It is co-owned by CBS and Warner Bros. (which is where the C & W come from).
It's tied to teenage drama because that's the type of programming it typically airs. They have mostly quirky dramas with young casts that typically appeal to young (primarily female) viewers. With Riverdale, they now have 5 shows based on comic books (the other 4 are based on DC superheroes).

is different than "F White People for being the ones primarily responsible for Trump"
But... you should probably read the premise of the show or read interviews from the creator, it's billed as a show that talks about and makes light of racial tensions and the stereotypes both black and white people create regarding each other.
So, a writer noting that white people are primarily responsible for voting in Trump seems... obvious? I don't know. I think it's a good concept. I think people need to laugh at the current state of racial tension a little bit.
