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

lol

can we get back to talking about skeet ulrich's reanimated corpse now pls

who was the necromancer that restored him

oh wait this has gotta be how they're bringing sabrina the teenage witch into the show

it all makes sense now

i'm hoping for jennifer coolidge as sabrina btw

Bacchus hear my fervent call
To the window, to the wall
Til sweat drips down my shawl
Til all these witches crawl
Till all of Skeet Skeet Skeet
Is resurrected in this hall

Ne R U high agin?

This might be the most insane television show I've ever seen. Every teen movie and television show plot and cliche amped to 11 crammed into 42 minutes.

Didn't expect the Jughead-Scout Master 'Brick' vibe

i loved every minute of this show

am hoping someone great is cast as veronica's dad, since Molly Ringwald was Archie's mom

Skeet Ulrich lol wtf

on netflix now

I'm 100% in on this after 4 episodes

it's so great

watched half of episode one and thought i should wait and watch it with cyrus. i think we could dig it together. we have similar tastes.

we are slowly watching every episode of friends together. we watched the right stuff last night. that movie is long. but good.

i do love the look of this show.

everyone is so beautiful! it's funny how Betty is the designated Covergirl product placement person *she says, carefully putting on her Covergirl Coral Pink Lipstick*

Madchen Amick is so good, I really love her as Betty's ott mom

The horribleness of every adult except for Luke Perry is very uncomfortable to watch.

and Veronica's mom, I guess

The hashtag jokes aren't going to age well.

it's funny that Cyrus and i have been watching every episode of Friends together and then we watch Riverdale and Jughead is...

although cyrus was already a fan via the suite life of zack & cody.

o shit riverdale is in the friends universe?

and big daddy, of course. (cyrus had never seen the waterboy! we had to watch that yesterday on memorial day...)

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.

A dance-off, this show is the best.

SEE

jughead = frankenstein from big daddy has seriously blown my mind

my mind is also blown.

i watched all of this show. it reminded me of like smallville or something and was p ridiculous but i enjoyed it

I had to drop out of this midway through, I had a hard time w/ Cheryl and/or the actress who plays her. Way too Ryan Murphy for my taste.

there is definitely a Glee vibe at times. but i'm okay with that. epic cheerleading tryout burn by veronica was suitably epic. stuff like that. i'm a big fan of bring it on though.

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.

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

*this has been the Veg dental update*

He is from NZ, right? My wife caught him slippin on one word at a certain point.

Betty is an impossible cross between katee sackhoff and p arquette

perfect description

I heard someone describe Veronica as "Mean Hermione" and this feels otm to me

Haha yes

i started listening to a recap podcast which is as good excuse as any to rewatch :D

I should not have started watching this for the first time after seeing new Twin Peaks

Miss Grundy give two rides?!?

lol

looooooooooooooool

i watched the first ep tnite. idk does it get better? i may just be burnt out the literate teen drama genre.

mordy you need riverdale in yr life i promise
