Even though, Josie is a main character in the show, the writing treatment that she receives from the show-runners is quite disheartening. Normally, I don't make a big deal about this issue but there is a concerning trend that I am beginning to witness in this show that is reflective of many CW shows. That concern in question is the representation of certain POC characters in-show. Athough the he following characters such as Dilton Doiley, Josie McCoy, Reggie Mantle, Valerie Brown, Chuck Clayton and Melody Valentine are depicted in certain scenes throughout the season, we don't know much about the depth of their motivation, musical interests, hobbies, family history, academic performance, sporting achievements, relationships, job history, skills or backstory. Although, Josie, Chuck, Valerie and Reggie to some extent are exceptions to some of the categories that I mentioned above, we still don't receive enough information in the show about the other interesting aspects of their lives. It is like their props to be used by the show-runners to propel the story's momentum. Such examples are seen as follows: Chuck helping Cheryl, Reggie fighting over the Riverdale Bulldogs' captaincy, Valerie aiding Archie in his musical performance for the Variety Show and Josie recruiting Veronica to be a Pussycat member.
