RIVERDALE, the brooding reimagining of the Archie comics brought to you by the CW

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?

it really bothers me that archie isn't into betty like isn't the whole pt of the comix that he likes both???

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)

really love how the show treated this jughead + betty plot

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

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

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

awww

love how Ronnie (btw the show really gelled around the same time Archie starts calling her Ronnie!) seems like she was airdropped into this show from Gossip Girl

agreed that's great

just started watching this - lol Archie is the worst. So, so, so dumb.

also I kept thinking Jughead looked like a baby Skeet Ulrich before I found out they actually cast Skeet Ulrich as his dad!

it's back and more ott than ever?

:D

so silly, so great

oh, Miss Grundy is baaa- wait oh never mind

plz capitalize OTT or I think you're talking about someone else and I have to spend a whole minute trying to figure how you mean

was this show always this horny or are they really ramping up that factor?

It's gone full Zodiac.

i enjoyed the first season but watched the first couple of episodes of season 2 and i think i've grown fatigued of the melodrama

otoh jughead ate a burger in the first episode so that's good

dreading the moment when Jughead has to return the favor for that lawyer, oh boy

i've almost finished the first season of this show and i'd just like to say that it's perfect

Brad, welcome to Riverdale

it is somehow every show i love rolled into one. twin peaks + gossip girl + pretty little liars (if it had a sense of direction) + specifically during the slut shaming episode i thought i had entered a dark hybrid of vmars and degrassi

bookmark for this thread isn't clearing

Yeah I unreservedly love this show and can't wait for the second season to go up on NF.

Brad!! Welcome to the mall-goth fever dream that is Riverdale. I always knew you’d join us :D

I am obsessed with how Veronica is slightly cross-eyed when she looks at the camera from a certain angle <3

-test-

1,2,1,2

fixed?

fixed.

rip bold

anyway i finished the first season yesterday; archie punching the ice was both hard to watch and was what felt like his first real character moment

how about Jughead taking the jacket

heartbreaking of course, especially bc i am betty

evil betty understands

sorry, "dark betty"

iirc it’s full dark no stars betty

booper

there it is

if I found s1 a bit tiring and tapped out 7 or 8 episodes in should I try again with s2

if you’re not feeling it after 7 or 8 episodes of s1, i would say s2 is only going to offer more of the same of whatever you’re not into

basically yep

i miss S1 Reggie <3
