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 know Veg, but we'll always have Chris Makepeace.

I think the reason I love Riverdale IS that it’s so caricatured, the corny dialogue & ridiculous situations make it v enjoyable for me. But I also really like Gotham, which is even dumber & more ott

I stalled out a couple of episodes into the second season - there's a lot of good there but it's just too arch.

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.

I mean, it’s essentially a wacky soap opera. Love it.

It’s a fun, goofy show with pretty people in it. I like it
― latebloomer, Sunday, 15 April 2018 23:32 (six years ago) link
i never paid much attention to Skeet Ulrich except thinking he was hot, but I am v much enjoying him as FP. And obv, crushing on him in a major way.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 15 April 2018 23:55 (six years ago) link
I am stalling out in season 2 also. Trying to make it through (it's a long season!)
― Yerac, Sunday, 15 April 2018 23:58 (six years ago) link
The Carrie episode is coming up. Too big to fail right there.
― Jeff, Sunday, 15 April 2018 23:58 (six years ago) link
so EXCITED
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 16 April 2018 00:51 (six years ago) link
I hate myself for having massive crushes on both Cole Sprouse AND Skeet Ulrich.
Stopped at episode two of season two, but started again a couple of days ago and now I'm back to being hooked lol. It's a good show to watch while folding laundry or just for the sake of having something on while you're doing something else.
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.
― Roz, Monday, 16 April 2018 03:26 (six years ago) link
Yeah both Archie & Jug are in the hottest dumb-off I’ve ever seen. it’s appointment tv!
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 16 April 2018 03:28 (six years ago) link
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.

A Carrie Musical IS an awesome idea, for sure.

Pretty sure 2 is it. Hal and maybe Claudius or Clifford.

plus the dead guy who was a stand-in
I'm still sad that my wish that the real black hood was Betty in platform shoes didn't come true
