Not That Netflix’s Richie Rich Was Ever Likely to Be GOOD, But…
 |
…this looks so, so bad it singlehandedly makes me suspicious of everything Netflix makes moving forward (beware, Zelda fans). It is literally everything I hate about the worst kind of kid TV in about a minute. You can brush that off by saying it’s not made for me, which is true…but neither was Archie, and like him, Richie has gotten updated in the comics, in his case presumably to be less of a terrible character for a recession era. I actually miss Macaulay Culkin now.
It is so bad I’m going to have to share it with you, because deep down, I am a sadist.
