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

how many black hoods are there now? sheesh

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

crazy! also if I am right abt Hal everyone gets to give me $20 because I called it from the first black hood ep :D

so have you not watched the most recent one or

i was way behind so maybe i still have 1 to go

doh

S3e1 on canadian netflix!

+1 on my dvr right now :D

that was a fine premiere

✔️no shirts
✔️archie & jughead being SO dumb
✔️floating babies

Yeah just finished watching it

Nutso!

Are they prepping us for sabrina? :o

Are they prepping us for sabrina? :o

lol it has to be that. totally OK with riverdale going as bonkers as possible.

and can i just say that I love Cheryl very much? that diner entrance, good lord.

sorry but making Jughead hot is beyond a crime

you wouldnt say that if you watched the show

xxpost

the sabrina trailer looks SO good, i’m v excited

I am still trying to finish season 2. How is Betty's mom not a widow yet?

I think Archie should just date Harim. This wrestling subplot led me to explain to my bae about the gay porn wrestling genre.

<3

I do not like the amount of screentime given to parents on this show. And the FBI agent storyline is LOL.

I have enjoyed the new season so far, lovjng all the Farm & Here Be Gerblins game intrigue. I know this show lives to drive me bananas with anachronisms but why does Veronica’s speakeasy club have a FRENCH theme. SPEAKEASIES ARE AMERICAN. Call it a fkn cabaret or something ffs

goddamn kids

also lol @ betty & jughead using Dilton’s bunker as their new hideout to bone down

I just finished season 2 last night (everyone is so angry on that show!) I hated Hal because of his stupid butthole mouth, chiclet teeth and terrible acting. Now it's even worse.

Lol what the hell

bananas

i love this show truly madly deeply but this show makes my head explode, like, on the regular

1) alice’s voice over is all WE SMELLED LIKE TEEN SPIRIT with a flannel around her waist & then proceed to lay on every 80’s pop song known to man.

2) you bring in Anthony Michael for your Breakfast Club homage and don’t give even a small walk-on to **recurring cast member**Molly effing Ringwald?

i super loved KJ Apa’s Luke Perry brow-furrowing
and the band playing Dream Warrior was LOL AWESOME

this show is so dumb & weird & great 😍

otm haha it was a hilarious episode

Silence of the Lambs Dad is the MVP this season.

The fuck is this shit

Is this One Tree Hill

I'm in a hotel and finally seeing this

Why the fuck is Archie a superhero

Why is Betty's family all Manchurian Candidated up

your disgust is palpable

I'm fascinated and semi drunk!

it's kinda like the Lana del Rey of tv shows

that is a good comparison i think if 50's archie=sarah mclachlan or something

if they don’t end Cheryl Blossom’s stuuuuuupid halloween house/haunted doll/dead brother in the basement storyline soon i am going to kill myself

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Uh...what?

‘RIVERDALE’ Season 5 will now be set 7 years into the future where Archie goes to war, Betty joins the FBI, Jughead becomes a writer and Veronica gets married. pic.twitter.com/IOzmRQ0fLH

Steelers-Browns games really escalate in 2028

Dream sequence episode I would assume, but who the f knowcares

I will never understand this 21st Century 'what if Archie was absolutely nothing like Archie' approach to Archie.

What if the Family Circle characters were all drug addicts with PTSD?!

Or what if you just made up your own characters, what if that

lol you should familiarize yourself with a play called "Dog Sees God" if you haven't already. it, uhh, might trigger a similar response

What if the Family Circle characters were all drug addicts with PTSD?!

"Who spilled all this heroin?"

"Um...not me, bro."

thank you for your contribution to this thread, Old Lunch Josh in Chicago

Okay.

I would watch a dark, gritty Dawson's Creek reboot

Dawson’s Creek 2025

i peaced out on this ridiculous show before the end of season 2 but "why a ridiculous "gritty" imaging of 'archie'?" is just an odd question to me. why not? i think the show is dumb and bad, but who cares? archie is dumb and bad!

otoh they definitely should have made jughead an ace king

there needs to be a Riverdale/Community crossover. everybody from Community comes back shell-shocked

"fuck, we just played paintball when WE got upset"
