Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has revealed to EW the show will be going full-blown supernatural in season two:There definitely will be a big genre element to Season 2. It won’t suddenly just be a coming-of-age drama. There will definitely be a very strong, bold genre statement.According to Aguirre-Sacas, Sabrina the Teenage Witch potentially joining the show’s universe is still very much on the table, presumably because of this upcoming “bold genre statement,” too:I feel like I can say two things: One is, we are constantly talking about Sabrina and how to update her character and introduce her to the TV audiences, whether it’s part of the Riverdale universe or it’s alongside the Riverdale universe. Hopefully sooner rather than later, there will be something to do with Sabrina. And the other thing I will say is that in the finale there is an appearance of a character from the Archie mythology that has a darker origin and backstory.I talk about it all the time because it’s my obsession. (Laughs) I love that character and obviously I also write The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comic book. It’s sort of like, you know how there’s the Arrow-verse and then there’s Supergirl, which kind of exists in a different universe — they still cross over, but they’re in a different universe. I think there’s a lot of ways to skin the Sabrina cat, and I’m talking about them all the time basically to anyone who will listen.

I thought this was a great show, all told. It looked very much like a series of set pieces stitched together at times, especially around the scenes starring Cheryl/The Blossom House, but I suspect that was to try and play the Gothic grandeur of those up by making them look staged.
The downside was maybe that it had too much going on, or rather too many plots that didn't sit too well together or were forced. I didn't feel like the football team rapebros plot went anywhere, other than promote Ethel to cast regular and give a maguffin for the fight at the party, and was there really any need for the 'Blossoms stole the Maple Syrup' plot?
I guess I'd just prefer it to be a dumb 'Archie can't decide between two girls' teen soap if I'm honest, but that's just me.

this show is good. i am on episode 11. i really like archie/veronica as 'agent of destruction.' and dark betty! there should be more dark-betty. for a while, i thought her sister was going to be, like, a split personality. also, the actor who plays archie is fascinatingly weird, and weird-looking. so is cheryl.
― remy bean, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:17 (six years ago) link
archie seems to have a sibilance in his speaking that makes me think he has relatively new veneers in his teeth
reminds of when billie piper got her teeth done in Doctor Who

I got further into the season than I'd expected and might end up finishing the season.
I haven't read any long takes on the concept, but it really feels less like a gritty reimagining -- although it definitely leans into the gritty moments -- and an exploration of what Archic Comics would be like if the adults showed up and stayed instead of making brief appearances. Nearly every problem that's not a normal teen drama plot is fallout from some choice a parent made, historical family drama, or the imposition of adult concerns (failing businesses, real estate deals, in appropriate relations with a student (!)) on the kids.
They manage to still put these classic teen things in. Should Archie play football or follow his dream to make music? Will Josie's band get back together, or will Veronica be the new backup singer? You know that Archie's going to decline to be captain and somehow the compromise will work, and there's no way the band doesn't get back together, but it's good to watch it play out.
Making a first season's theme be "Who killed Jason Blossom?" is a pretty ridiculous Twin Peaks homage but it works. The Blossoms as this malevolent force in the town is this weird echo of how they were introduced into this very staid, throwback comic at a very late stage in its existence.
― mh, Saturday, 17 June 2017 14:35 (six years ago) link
I thought Cheryl Blossom was an early character who got written out?
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 17 June 2017 16:25 (six years ago) link
in the comics i mean
I guess she made a brief appearance in the early 80s but was deemed too scandalous, and was only a regular character in the mid 90s onward?I mean, anything introduced to Archie in the 80s is still a relatively recent addition when you realize Archie predates the second world war
― mh, Saturday, 17 June 2017 16:40 (six years ago) link
So i just watched the first episode of this and first thought was oh it's like a 90210 for millenials, and then i realized that's luke perry from 90210, which I watched briefly in the 90s
Then uh I started getting this weird feeling that those things weren't the only things I recognized
1 this place reminds me of my school2 no shit this was filmed in Vancouver
Lol no wonder everything looks so familiar
― i n f i n i t y (∞), Sunday, 18 June 2017 18:01 (six years ago) link
I think I'm down to a few minutes to determine whether a new tv show was filmed in Vancouver after having watched a bunch of SyFy and CW stuff.
There are at least a dozen actors who show up in every show filmed in the area because... Vancouver.
― mh, Sunday, 18 June 2017 18:13 (six years ago) link
Yeah but i mean it's weird to see places you hung out in or walked around hundreds of times on screen in a popular show (not counting the hundreds of crappy low budget shows/movies that use Vancouver as a backdrop)
I don't watch a lot of american shows and not a lot of new Hollywood movies but the last one I remember is that superhero one and i didn't actually watch it but the trailer featured the viaduct so prominently it was also weird
I don't know any of the riverdale actors and I've never seen them in any other shows or movies either
― i n f i n i t y (∞), Sunday, 18 June 2017 18:32 (six years ago) link
yeah I think most of the kids are newcomers, I only recognize the Kevin dude from a L&O episode. the parents are uh all pretty recognizable!!
― mh, Sunday, 18 June 2017 18:48 (six years ago) link
I take that back, about half of them are
― mh, Sunday, 18 June 2017 18:51 (six years ago) link
Obv I'm a tv addict but it's weird to think about watching Riverdale without the cultural references from the casting, Archie's Dad = Dylan from 90210, Betty's Mom = Shelly from Twin Peaks, Jughead's Dad = Billy from Scream, Betty's Dad = Jack from Charmed etc etc
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 18 June 2017 23:27 (six years ago) link
I've only really seen 90210 out of those (handful of episodes)
I watched a couple episodes of charmed when it was on tv and all I remember is that it bored me to death
Wasn't shannon doherty in that one? Or was that that other vampire one? Buffy or whatever?
― i n f i n i t y (∞), Sunday, 18 June 2017 23:32 (six years ago) link
it really bothers me that archie isn't into betty like isn't the whole pt of the comix that he likes both???
― Mordy, Sunday, 18 June 2017 23:39 (six years ago) link
it's pretty obv by the end of the season archie likes betty, it's just weird because they're next door neighbors and as little kids they had the whole destined to be together shtick. they even mention betty saying something about getting married in first grade!
like maybe archie wants to reach out in life and find himself instead of marrying his next door best friend. but it's also why his other relationships are mostly blips, with one notable exception (two if you get into the bad "archie in the future gets married" crap in the 90s or whatever)
― mh, Sunday, 18 June 2017 23:56 (six years ago) link
really love how the show treated this jughead + betty plot
― mh, Sunday, 18 June 2017 23:58 (six years ago) link
agree
i personally love how Archie is kind of the least important part of the show, and that Betty & Veronica drive so much of the plot
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 June 2017 00:23 (six years ago) link
that is kind of the unspoken premise of a lot of the comics. Archie occasionally bumbles through something and has some pratfalls, but a lot of it is him reacting to what other people do
notably his own title began the comics, but usually one of the other main characters joins him. meanwhile, Betty & Veronica get a series together
the only main comic dynamic that the show hasn't tackled is Reggie and Veronica's close bond, but I could see her ditching Archie to hang out with or date him in the future
btw this is all based on me remembering comics from the mid/late 80s, including a ton of reprints, and having browsed them while my mom was shopping in years after that
― mh, Monday, 19 June 2017 00:45 (six years ago) link
sidebar i have a huge crush on Riverdale Reggie good lord he is handsome
comic book Moose was one of my earliest crishes. i think i liked him bcz he reminded me of Fred from Scooby Doo

Sorry guys, I tried.
It's great looking and I appreciate the appeal to the gay male gaze (Archie is literally introduced via a gay character staring at him through a window), but this is otherwise quite dreadful. The dialogue is the worst; in a just world, Kevin Williamson and Diablo Cody will one day be called to answer for their crimes against screenwriting.

I'll say this: if I kept watching, I'd be interested in seeing if the show ends up doing anything with the Hitchcockian touch of the resemblance between Archie and the murder victim.
Really, it just came down to my figuring out that watching all 13 episodes of the first season would take up a bit over 6.5 hours of my life, which perhaps doesn't sound like much, but I tend to measure these things in terms of what else I could be watching in that time, and I have a whole stack of promising DVDs checked out of the library at the moment (not to mention countless hours of unwatched movies in my PVR) and the numbers just didn't work out in the show's favour.

In a show filled with dumb characters, Archie is literally too dumb to live though - like yes, telling your mobster boss you've been keeping a (very thin) journal of all the shady things you've seen is an extremely good idea.

so apparently this week's episode is a musical episode. i am probably going to chew my arm off while watching this

i was lolling the entire way through but i'm not a musical guy
― F# A# (∞), Sunday, 22 April 2018 01:51 (six years ago) link
kind of impressive how my biggest takeaway from it was still "archie is so dumb"
― lowercase (eric), Sunday, 22 April 2018 01:57 (six years ago) link
honestly you guys have the weirdest expectations for this show
just enjoy it while munching on some snacks
― F# A# (∞), Sunday, 22 April 2018 02:07 (six years ago) link
our takeaway in the Veg household was that this was v lolsy and kinda awkward but also it's Riverdale so yayit wasn't so much a musical as 'sing dialogue and pretend it's a song'.Also Kevin should sing more! he's got a nice voice. We were loling at Cheryl's weird high-then-deep style.
my money is still on Hal being the black hoodI have no evidence to support it except a gut feeling but I am standing by it :D
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 22 April 2018 02:11 (six years ago) link
xp oh i am and i love it but y'know, really wanna shake the kid and tell him to think for a second
yeah it wasn't really "once more with feeling" but using it for [redacted] was a nice enough self-aware acknowledgment of the problems with plot dictating character. i'm not even gonna try to guess who is what now
― lowercase (eric), Sunday, 22 April 2018 02:19 (six years ago) link
also as I said to Mr Veg, Archie is very handsome and love him dearly but there's only one true Tommy

it wasn't so much a musical as 'sing dialogue and pretend it's a song'.I’m not familiar with it, but weren’t they the actual songs from Carrie: The Musical?tbf a lot of musicals are just about singing dialogue
― mh, Sunday, 22 April 2018 02:39 (six years ago) link
God this was painful.
Was kind of glad that archie finally turned towards his father and away from sinister gangster Lodges this episode,wasn't expecting that to happen right then tbh
― Louis Jägermeister (jim in vancouver), Sunday, 22 April 2018 02:41 (six years ago) link
xpost yeah I didn't realize that at the time, But either their performance of it was REALLY woeful or this is not a musical I'm gonna rush out and see any time soon or a little from column a, a little from column b
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 22 April 2018 02:45 (six years ago) link
I’m not a big fan of musicals but making one based on Carrie is a pretty good idea and every high school should stage it, imo
― mh, Sunday, 22 April 2018 13:16 (six years ago) link
Carrie: The Musical was an infamous Broadway bomb. someone locally attempted to stage it last year to try and rework it into something good but it got panned cos frankly you'd have to rewrite it to make it good.
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Sunday, 22 April 2018 14:20 (six years ago) link
A Carrie Musical IS an awesome idea, for sure.

I have enjoyed the new season so far, lovjng all the Farm & Here Be Gerblins game intrigue.

Gritty Shirt Tales! They eat each other!
a) Who's gagging for a Shirt Tales reboot, b) of the twelve people who are, how badly do they want something that is nothing like Shirt Tales, c) why not make your own Killer Animals Wearing Shirts thing for all the people who would enjoy that and who aren't going to be drawn to the prospect of a Shirt Tales reboot because what even is Shirt Tales

It never ends:
Trying to explain everything that’s happened on Riverdale this season is an impossible task, but to sum it up: Hiram Lodge tried to blow up Archie with a bomb, which instead somehow gave the main cast a variety of superpowers and allowed a dark sorcerer named Percival Pickens to arrive in town from another dimension. Also, Cheryl Blossom became a witch (unrelated). Archie and the gang managed to murder Percival before he was able to take over the town—both time travel and Satan were involved—but not before he was able to redirect Bailey’s Comet (not a typo) to head directly at Riverdale. This is a lot, and I’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s happened in season six, and I won’t even get into how the lance that pierced the side of Jesus while he was on the cross ended up in a Riverdale pawn shop.
