Riverdale

I watched the first episode, it's terrible but it's prime guilty pleasure material. New episodes get uploaded every Friday.

[Lostie!]

I heard about this for the first time earlier today. The teen drama will be predictably tedious but the mystery hook has me interested so I'll be giving it a go.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

This show gives me GLUE vibes for some reason.

[Firewire]

New series based on the Archie Comics

Developed by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and executive produced by Greg Berlanti.

Airs on The CW in the US and then one day later on Netflix here. It started on Jan 26th so only two episodes have aired so far.

HxtLlByaYTc

Synopsis from Netflix: While navigating the troubled waters of sex, romance, school and family, teen Archie and his gang become entangled in a dark Riverdale mystery.

I watched the first two episodes and really enjoyed it. It's doing well critically, too, with a score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It has an 80s feel to it, even though it's set in the present day.

[Jason.]

Here for the 80s feel. It's one of the things I loved about Stranger Things :flutter:

[Jeol]

Veronica :love:

[Firewire]

Omg your set

V :love:

[Tom4784]

The SHADE OF IT ALL.

[MB.]

Jonathan you lazy bitch!

[MB.]

(I do intend to watch this eventually, I didn't just enter this thread to call Jonathan names)

[Firewire]

Well I didn't ****ing see it DID I

[Ross.]

typical Jonathan trying to steal the limelight

[Firewire]

Ugh just do one

[Ross.]

No I want to discuss the show so you do one

[Firewire]

KJ Apa is fit as **** btw

[Tom4784]

Second episode was decent, I think they need to make it more unique though, outside of the aesthetic it's pretty much the same as every teen drama ever made.

Stereotypical gay best friend makes me want to die as does Cole Sprouse's painfully typical edgy outsider/writer character.

[Firewire]

The gay character is poorly written which is a let down

[Amy Jade]

They need to hurry up and add the best Archie character in. Miss Sabrina Spellman.

Infact move the Spellman clan in asap

[MB.]

I watched the first two episodes and they were nice enough

[MB.]

Anyway today I learned that one of the characters is called Alice Cooper

[Natalie.]

Seen 3 episodes so far, enjoying it more than I though I would

[MB.]

This is... still good (helpful, I know)

I wonder how long they'll drag out The Gay One's storyline with the Serpent bloke only for absolutely nothing to happen

[Tom4784]

It's getting better with each episode especially in the ones like the latest episode which focus more on the mystery at hand then the rather boring soapy stuff.

They need to overhaul Kevin's character though, it's annoying how much of a typical gay best friend he is. The other characters are improving although I could do without the Jughead narrations. Also the dialogue and it's insistence to references to the 50's feels a bit awkward, like I get why they do it but it doesn't feel very authentic to the fact that they are teenagers, not Diablo Cody characters.

oh okay loool

[Tom4784]

THE SHADE :nono:

[Firewire]

Renewed for a second season

[BBUKAUSFAN]

Renewed for a second season

:cheer2: best news wooo!

[Tom4784]

It's getting better with each episode, it's definitely hitting it's stride. Kevin's stereotypical ass needs to disappear though.

[Tom4784]

This show is way better than it has the right to be.

Cheryl is an absolute scream.

[Natalie.]

It gets better each week

[Denver]

The character of Reggie has been recast

[andybigbro]

Just started watching this. I'm enjoying it so far :)

[Saph]

got halfway through ep 1 and gave up

[Tom4784]

It takes a few episodes for it to get going, the first two or three are pretty painful because the focus is on the teen drama rather than the murder mystery aspect but once it gets that out of it's system it becomes quite compelling.

[Denver]

Mess at the killer being

His dad

[Tom4784]

The last episode was pretty decent but I think they could have done more with the reveal and focused less on set up for next series.

Reggie has also been recast for S2. He'll now be played by Charles Menton (Mr. Wu from AHS: Hotel)

[Jason.]

Finished watching this yesterday.

I thought it was alright, nothing special, but decent enough. I was expecting a bit more from it though, especially with the reveal like Dezzy mentioned. Really good characters though.

[andybigbro]

I loved it. The cast really make it great.
Lreally looking forward to season 2.

[Slevin]

i cant believe i watched it when it first aired & finished it. i didnt think i would get into it. that Veronica is one piece of ace.

[Denver]

Series 2 starts Oct 11

[Firewire]

And there's a Sabrina spin-off in the works

[Denver]

Mess at them nearly doubling the series length

[BigSister]

Yeah I don't know if I like that or not preferred it being 13 episodes but we shall see
Strong opening episode though

[Tom4784]

A good start, living for Cheryl tbh.

[LukeB]

Just started this and Veronica >>

[Tom4784]

Just started this and Veronica >>

But she's basic though?

[LukeB]

But she's basic though?

I said Veronica not Betty

[Tom4784]

I said Veronica not Betty

Veronica's even more basic tbh.

[Tom4784]

That youtube video :skull:

I've never seen a TV show take such a nosedive in the space of one scene, the newest episode was cringeworthy trash because of it.

[LukeB]

Finally caught up

I'm underwhelmed by the black hood reveal but i'm not convinced it was actually him so i'm hoping there's a twist to it because that is a poor choice.

[Tom4784]

I'll take the underwhelming reveal if it means this plotline is over, Season 2 has been woeful thus far because the Black Hood storyline was just too ridiculous.

[armand.kay]

No idea why I'm still watching this because it is pretty rubbish lol. Season 1 was ok and season 2 is just so bad. its just so lame and has no edge it at all. The serpents and all the other gangs aren't threatening at all, the fake drunk called jingle jangle and the way all the teens acted so repentful after being told off for taking drugs (why did they tell on themselves anyway...).. It all just felt like a 1980s psa.

I thought it was a emmerdale spin off :conf: did not watch so no poem on reverdale.

[Vanessa]

I quite like it.

[RileyH]

I'm only a few episodes into S2 but I really like it

[reece(:]

I quite like it.

You fancy legend KJ?

[Vanessa]

You fancy legend KJ?

He's gorgeous.

[Natalie.]

Really enjoying S2 so far

[Amy Jade]

I am loving S2 also.

The female characters are by far the best, Betty, Ronnie and Cheryl are all amazing. Jughead is the weakest link.

As much as I hate Alice, I've been loving her in Season 2. The more I see of Hermione the more I love her :flutter:

It feels like I'm meant to like Jughead but I just... couldn't care about him

I love Alice but Hermione's been **** this season, they've completely rewritten her character for no reason.

[Amy Jade]

Hermionie feels like a different character this season but I put that down to her husband being back.

Betty nor Ronnie are basic :fist:

[LukeB]

I'm also enjoying season 2

Veronica, Cheryl and Josie :love:

[Tom4784]

Hermionie feels like a different character this season but I put that down to her husband being back.

Betty nor Ronnie are basic :fist:

Yeah, that's the reason for Hermione's personality change but it's badly handled. There's nothing left of the character she was in Season 1, that's just bad writing.

They are basic though, Betty doesn't have a personality outside of the forced edginess and they try too hard with Veronica to make her referential and ****. Both are okay but neither of them are great characters.

[RileyH]

Hermione is probably my favourite tbh

[Ant.]

I think we can all agree that Nana Rose is the best female of Riverdale :cheer:
talking of Nana Rose, where was she for like,,, 9 episodes, I swear I just went on to believe she burnt in the house fire becasue she was nowhere to be seen

oh and also about last episode:
Why are there mysteries around the Blossom fire?? I know Cheryl burnt the house down and her mum got SEVERELY burnt running in to get a painting (HOW did she recover so quickly and with no visible scars?? I'm no burns expert but surely she would suffer some disfigurements??)
anyway, Cheryl asks "where's Jason's stocking? :) " as if yknow, they should have it. But surely all the Christmas stuff in the house/wherever it was would've been destroyed in the fire? Did Cheryl just take out all the Christmas decorations out of the attic before deciding to burn the house down? Or did she just find all of Jason's belongings and keep them before burning the house down?? IM SO CONFUSED


I love Alice but Hermione's been **** this season, they've completely rewritten her character for no reason.

She's different, yet I still enjoy her, despite the inconsistencies. I think her dynamic with Hiram this season has completely shrouded my judgement :worry:

[andybigbro]

Love Riverdale

I think Betty and Veronica are great characters. Not really a fan of the serpent stuff. Really like Cheryl too.

[Ant.]

about last night's ep:

Kinda shook that CherylXToni/Choni is very likely to be a thing. People theorised it and I always thought it'd be a nice pairing and tbh? I'm absolutely here for it. Even if Cheryl doesn't date Toni (although I'd love if they did) I like that they've got the potential to be good friends and Toni's going to be able to help Cheryl with her sexuality, given how she was essentially forced back into the closet and shamed by her mum.

Although I can't say I'm all that interested in KevinXMoose(XMidge?). I definitely think a polyamourous relationship would be a nice inclusion but I think they're just hinting that Moose isn't interested in her and is using her as a coverup (most of the time I'm wrong though so let's see :laugh:) and the result of this 'storyline' will be Kevin and Moose hooking up. And if they give them more scenes and chemistry I'm here for it but I just don't feel like I have reason to care for them together at the minute!

[LukeB]

I’m liking Riverdale this series.

Chic is hot
Archie is awful, being a dick towards his father.

[Tom4784]

Everything feels a bit too ridiculous this season when the first season did a better job of toeing the sublime line. The first season was great but this season is all over the place.

[DouglasS]

I can’t deal with veronica, what a terrible character. Show would be much better if she was written off. Betty is far more interesting and better acted and suits being the Lead female (which she basically is now).

Veronica has ruined Archie also with this ongoing Lodges SL (which has ruined Hermione who has had a personality transplant). Kill off all the lodges they’re awful and dull.

Loving Betty’s family though, they’re well written, her mother is both rootable and tragic. Chic is a good addition as he’s properly messed up and a mini villain.

Cheryl is great on this show also, she needs to be used more

Archie also has way more chemistry with Betty than Veronica. Jughead needs to be less obsessed with the serpents also

[LukeB]

Season 1 is still better and the black hood thing was meh but i felt it got better despite the whole Hiram stuff (Hermione is still queen :love:) i feel a who killed Hiram is coming up for some reason.

[Tom4784]

Betty and Veronica are both basic as **** tbh.

This whole gangster storyline is quite painful though but then so is Betty's storyline. The whole 'Dark Betty' thing is poorly realised and the storyline with Chic is just awful.

Dark Betty is so cringe, she can’t pull the darkness off, i don’t know why they trying to make her dark.

[DouglasS]

The lodges Storyline is by far the worst, I don't know anybody enjoying it or the Lodge's this season. Even Veronica has had a mini personality transplant [not even going to bother mentioning Hermoine because lol]

The best characters are probably the ones with small roles; Cheryl, Kevin, Alice, Toni

[Ant.]

Dark Betty just reminds me of Taylor Swift and I can't put my finger on why :shrug:

It's the gangster angle that ruins it and it's completely out of the blue. They established that Hiram was a dangerous businessman in Season 1 but the gangster stuff has just been dreamed up on the spot and it doesn't work.

Hermione's characterisation is painful, Veronica's is better but then again they've made her too accepting of Hiram too quickly when she was beyond forgiveness for him in Season 1 after learning the extent of the damage he caused.

Archie is terrible too, his character this season has been excruciating to watch, I still cringe when I think about the whole storyline of his vigilante group and their shirtless youtube videos.

[LukeB]

Dark Betty just reminds me of Taylor Swift and I can't put my finger on why :shrug:

Perched for Dark Betty’s version of look at what you made me do when she does something really dark

Anyhoo
I’m perched for this Carrie episode even though it’s a musical version.

[Ant.]

:laugh2:

Same though. As if we don't have enough cringey songs in Riverdale though :oh:

[Ant.]

spoilers for the most recent episode:

ok so the singing voices were clearly edited/not even the actor's singing(?0 and I don't think they even tried to change that and usually I wouldn't mind if the voices were good but they.... just weren't (I remember liking Alice's tho). I'm guessing they did it to mock the musical genre's excessive editing (since Veronica, Archie, and Betty have both proven to have good singing voices in the past). It's such a shame the songs were forgettable, usually after a musical episode of a TV showI find myself guiltily listening to one or two of the songs on repeat for a few days but I genuinely cannot remember any of the songs from the last episode </3

I appreciate they tried to tie up some loose ends, although I guess they had to since the Black Hood is returning and the story's gonna shift again? I don't think there's a single viewer who thought the B.H. was really caught, which made the ending... not predictable in a sense (at least for me, although in hindsight it made sense for Midge to be the one to be killed given the whole 'recast Carrie!!' **** going on throughout) but rather, 'well obviously he's still alive'. The reveal just didn't feel very rewarding, and now we get to see the core four theorise over whether or not the Black Hood is dead or alive for half of this story-arc before concluding he is alive, before the SHOCKING climax in the final episode of season 2!

Sarcasm and bitterness aside, it was a... nice episode. And I'm glad Cheryl's getting back to the stone cold bitch with vulnerability we saw in season 1 (that's not to say I didn't enjoy her more prevalent vulnerable side - she's a teenager who lost her twin, father, almost her life, was sent to a conversion camp and has an abusive mother, seeing how she copes with that is interesting and made me love Cheryl even more, but it just felt like the right time for her to take action). Also Archie's music aspirations were brought up again, so it's nice the writer's realised he used to be a real teenager with career ambitions. Felt more human than him being Hiram's bitch and having some weird conflict with his dad

[Tom4784]

It was a bizarre episode but a fun one, the songs were a bit meh but I can't blame the writers for that since they took them from the actual Carrie musical (Yes, it was a thing).

I'm hoping the return of the Black Hood puts things back on track, the gangster stuff is terrible.

[LukeB]

i suspect the black hood will kill one of the parents on the final episode and i’m betting it’s either Hiram or Hermione. I hope it’s Hiram! Hermione and Veronica are better without him

but he's hot

[LukeB]

Yes but awful character and his presence doesn’t help his family

[Tom4784]

Hiram will probably die and who killed him will be the mystery of the next season, I think.

So 80's :flutter:

[LukeB]

did they really kill off jughead?

[Ramsay]

Not a chance

[Tom4784]

That was the most ridiculous hour of television I've ever watched, I quite enjoyed it.

Cheryl being extra in changing her clothes mid chase with the Black Hood so she could make an impressive entrance with a cape and bow made me howl, it pretty much made me forgive the bad writing that turned her into Katniss Everdeen in the space of a second. She's never been shown an interest in hunting or tracking yet here she is tracking a serial killer in a forest while having an impecable aim with a bow :laugh:

I cackled every time the Ghoulies (I'm sorry, that name is ridiculous) appeared with their ridiculous costumes and make up, I was in tears at the point with the random mobster who appeared in one scene and died almost instantly because he decided to slowly walk at Hermione despite the fact she had a gun trained on him.

Hal being the Black Hood was signposted a bit too much, I'm hoping the reveal of who the other Hood is, is a bit more shocking. I'm guessing it's going to be someone predictable like Chic or Betty's real brother or Cheryl's uncle.

[Ant.]

https://i1.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/riverdale-horror.jpg?w=1200

So 80's :flutter:

I LOVE IT!!!

so Hal admitted to shooting Fred. While Hal was at home, a black hooded man with the same green eyes as the man who shot Fred in the diner attacked Archie and Fred. Which suggests he's the original Black Hood.

Is the theory that Hal has a twin brother likely? Is his dad alive and somehoe fit enough to attack 2 younger men? And how will Kevin's DDLB fetish cope?

[Nicky91]

season 3 episode 1 short recap, overall i enjoyed the first episode of this new season, Serpents having saved Hot Dog from the Ghoulies, and the trial of course for Archie if he is found guilty or not, well there was a split decision between the jury so Archie wasn't found guilty yet, but he accepted a plea deal for 2 years in Juvenile detention, and the ep also introduced to our newest villain, Gargoyle King

[Nicky91]

season 3 episode 2 so basically we get a start of Archie's life in prison, the warden and the guards are all being paid by Hiram Lodge so they make things real worse for Archie in there, and the Gargoyle King case, Dilton confirmed first death of the season, Ben was at first in coma but later committed suicide while in a sort of weird trance, and Ethel had a seizure

and it now seems that the parents did something when they were young, and now the kids are being punished for that with the gargoyle king, who could be a suspect for this character, possibly a tall guy

[Tom4784]

It's so utterly ridiculous that I'm struggling with it this season.

[Nicky91]

It's so utterly ridiculous that I'm struggling with it this season.

:eyes: you're definitely the opposite of me with this show then, i find it very easy to watch, and i love a bit of investigating yourself trying to find out who the gargoyle king is

[Nicky91]

some episode titles for season 3

ep3: as above, so below
ep4: the midnight club
ep5: the great escape
ep6: Manhunter
ep7: The Man in Black
ep8: Outbreak
ep9: No Exit

[Nicky91]

episode 3 Veronica opening her nightclub, with Hiram and his henchmen Sheriff Minetta and Penny Peabody trying to sabotage that unsuccessfully, Archie having to fight for his life and to make a show to a lot of people in the prison, Betty and Jughead investigating more and more into the Gargoyle King, they find out their parents know more about this

my theory: i see in this Edgar Evernever a possible suspect, cause for ''the farm'' he acts like a king, a sort of cult, and it is the same with the ones who play griffins and gargoyles, also a cult, i think as for motive the parents did something to this guy and now he pays them back by going after their children :think:

[Nicky91]

season 3 is very good so far, quite dark

but latest episode we saw the entrance of Gina Gershon as Gladys Jones, mother of Jughead and Jellybean, estranged wife of FP

https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20181111/rs_600x600-181211154613-600x600.riverdale-gina-gershon-lp.121118.jpg?fit=around|600:467&amp;crop=600:467;cent er,top&amp;output-quality=90

[Nicky91]

the gargoyle king who it is

eliminated suspects

Hiram Lodge, cause we saw the gargoyle king standing in his office with Hiram himself, so it can't be him

i am still thinking it might be Claudius Blossom, a blossom is a psycho anyway honestly, especially Clifford's twin brother hmmm and we know he is in league with Hiram Lodge :think: they did give us an hint, gargoyles/griffions is created by the most crazy kids who stayed at those sisters

[Jarrod]

The most frustrating thing is the break in episodes we have - next episode isn't until mid-Jan.

[Nicky91]

The most frustrating thing is the break in episodes we have - next episode isn't until mid-Jan.

yeah correct, but Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow also are doing episodes again mid-Jan, so probably the holiday break now

[Nicky91]

new episode titles confirmed

first we get episode 9 called No Exit

episode 10: The Stranger (hmm is this a reference to edgar evernever's introduction or hiram's mistress arrival to riverdale :think: )

episode 11: The Red Dahlia

episode 12: Bizarrodale

episode 13: Requiem for a welterweight

episode 14: Fire Walk with me

episode 15: Fifty Fifty

[Nicky91]

episode 9, ok riverdale is now under Hiram's control

Archie in the woods, got a encounter with a bear, and began hallucinating about all the things he had done wrong, and did them right in this weird dream i was like WTF in reality he's more like comatose now


Veronica hiring the serpents as her security force against Hiram and his gargoyle gang


Betty wanted the sisters of quiet mercy to testify against Hiram, they weren't official nuns anymore so their silence wasn't valid Gargoyle King & Hiram bailed out the sisters and gave them a chance to ascend (suicide by cyanide poisoning) to prevent them from ever talking again to the police, Betty

overall a good episode, and i'm one step closer to finding out who the gargoyle king is one big clue what Alice said ''Edgar was just at her home'' so he knows the way around riverdale, but yet we never see him so far HMM :think:

[DouglasS]

Veronica is probably one of the worst characters in TV history. She's written so poorly. Well the entire lodge family is. Her mother has a personality transplant every season and could clearly just be different mistresses of Huron. Huron is a ridiculous villan that is not beliavable. Veronica would have so much power and shes literally let her boyfriend/friends be attacked by her dad and still acts all lovey-dovey with him. Shes completely ridiculous and needs to be killed off asap.

[DouglasS]

Cheryl is great on this show also, she needs to be used more

Archie also has way more chemistry with Betty than Veronica. Jughead needs to be less obsessed with the serpents also

Still the same as last year it seems. At least they've used Cheryl more this year, but they need to not constantly use Cheryl and Toni as an item. They're a rootable couple, but its constant.

Betty is still the best written character in this show and seems to be the only one to progress the plot along / stay true to her character.

[Nicky91]

last weeks ep was so emotional for me (Luke Perry's passing) and we saw his character Fred and i started crying a bit, goosebumps all over me :sad:

Veronica isn't a bad character she has way more Chemistry now with Reggie, them running that nightclub at basement of pop's


Hiram first i saw him as villain now not anymore more like Veronica tries to steer him to be a more good guy, i see Gladys Jones more as a villain

[Denver]

Can we not at the Gargoyle King being Jason Blossom

[Ant.]

Can we not at the Gargoyle King being Jason Blossom

I honestly think

it's a red (ha) herring? Sounds like something they said to keep us watching. Apparently the series finale is full of twists, maybe Jason not being the Gargoyle King is the twist

I love how normal this bull**** is to Jughead and Betty. They're just like "only one way to be sure it's Jason. dig him up :hugesmile:" rather than thinking "well he's dead so she's clearly bull****ting"

[Denver]

I was and maybe still am convinced it is Chic as his story ending Abruptly and I dont think a body was found?

[Ant.]

I was and maybe still am convinced it is Chic as his story ending Abruptly and I dont think a body was found?

I'm not gonna lie, I've been thinking Chic. If I recall, the tattooist said a blond guy came in asking for a tattoo. Betty thought it'd be Evelyn's 'dad'/husband but it wasn't, I can't remember if they actually found out which guy it was who got the tattoo but the only other blond guy that comes to mind is Chic. Chic's barely been mentioned, was a pretty big character, yet had literally zero closure on his death. We're just supposed to believe that the Black Hood killed him, and if the Black Hood and the Gargoyle King are in kahoots with each other, it wouldn't be surprising if Hal/The Black Hood spared Chic if it meant Chic would undertake the role as Gargoyle King

[Denver]

So I was right the Gargoyle King being Chic

[Denver]

I cant believe we didnt see Alice being undercover when it made the most sense

Also now we know what we always knew that Chic was fake

[Denver]

its also Clear Jughead isnt dead but who is?

[Ant.]

so

Not surprised by the Gargoyle King being Chic. The reveal was anticlimactic though. But I guess that happens when they make it obvious (unknown blond guy getting a tattoo, connection with Black Hood, etc)

Am I really supposed to believe Jason's dead corpse was believed to be real by Cheryl under hypnotherapy? I thought they'd say Chic was standing in for Cheryl's hallucinations when he was revealed to be taking the identity of Jason

So who WAS the original Gargoyle King? We know Penelope introduced the game but I also got the impression she wasn't the Gargoyle King originally, just helping them

The moment Betty said, "Do I know you?" to the detective, I knew he'd say he's Charles. What I wanna know is how he and Alice met. And how Betty's allowed to so publicly talk about her mum being an FBI detective.
It also just feels like a cliche fanfic with Betty and Jughead being recognised by the FBI as being good detectives. :laugh:

So is every season from now on just gonna end with Hiram getting someone arrested? I'm getting bored of him.

So are we EVER gonna find out how the Farm caused so many teenagers to have seizures? Why's this some big mystery? The answer's not gonna be interesting/worth nearly a year wait

Was Polly in on Alice being an FBI agent?

Why is the Farm storyline taking longer than twenty ****ing two episodes/an entire season?

What the **** is Cheryl doing with Jason's corpse?

Are we meant to think Jughead's dead at the end? Because I'm not believing it for a second

The seizures happened because Hiram's drug lab poisoned the water supply or something I think it was barely mentioned about halfway through the season. The way Polly was standing in as the other Betty makes me think she's not working with Alice but she's working with Edgar for some reason.

Oh I remember that now. Am I correct in saying only the girls suffered them? Young girls at that? I thought it was gonna be something specific to why such a small demographic suffered them

Ysee Id say that but Alice was... Also Bad to Betty. She almost made her homeless, tried to take out her entire college fund, and so much more that it feels to ****ed up that she was sacrificing her own daughter's safety for the sake of her job. Something fishy is going on

Season 3 :hugesmile:

Cons
• Alice being a secret agent the entire time makes no sense whatsoever
• Archie and Veronica getting back together in the end
• Cheryl's dialogue :skull:
• Everyone constantly saying "Endgame" is literally the most ANNOYING thing
• Gargoyle King storyline in general
• Josie's exit was so uneventful, deserved a better send off (also with her leaving that means most of the black characters are now gone :skull:)
• Kevin and Fangs are probably the worst "couple" on the show, no development at ALL
• The fact that they are supposed to be in present time while using typewriters, dial up phones, etc. is pretentious and try hard
• The Jailhouse Rock cheerleader thing

Pros
• Entertaining :skull:
• Still messy but less messy than S2 imo
• The Farm storyline
there's probably more pros but it's easier to think of cons :devil:

Alice being a secret agent is simultaneously makes no sense while also being one of the sensical (not a word but ygm) moments of the finale... Jason's corpse isn't fully decomposed after a year (I'm assuming there's been a year between pre-S1 and S3?); Charles being alive and an FBI agent, and so much more... the ****

YES THE ENDGAME **** IS SO CRINGEY. And you know what else is? People unironically using their shipnames. Jughead: maybe a Vughead kiss is what we need to prevent a future Bughead from imploding :think: (NOBODY ****ING SPEAKS LIKE THAT). And don't even get ME STARTED on Archie's mum, a grown women in her mid-thirties at the very youngest, saying, "I think you're endgame!". **** OFF!!

The typewriter **** makes sense for Jughead because he IS pretentious but yeah I agree with you with the rest. DEFINITEY trying to milk the 50s aesthetic

Cheryl's dialogue has always pissed me off. I couldn't care if Betty was her cousin or not, I just CRINGE when I hear her say "hello cousin :)". i actually cringe anytime she speaks or appears ESPECIALLY with that funky music that goes on while she struts with that cinematography.... CRINGE

the only black characters now are Mad Dog, that chauvinistic piece of trash footballer, and Sierra McCoy now, right? And on that note, why didn't we see Josie say goodbye to her mum? AND did we even see Tom and Sierra get married?

yeah don't even get me started on Fangs and Kevin. It literally came out of nowhere. When the schools merged Kevin was clearly not interested in Fangs and Fangs has barely appeared on screen, and when he has, he's never been with Kevin. I think they shared like, a one comment conversation and exchanged glances last season when the schools merged but that's itat MOST. Ridiculous. Like I can't remember them getting together? They just rocked around in white farmy uniforms one day and we just sorta thought "okay are they meant to be together?" and they ****ing PUT them together? And for what? WHO did it develop? As bad as KevinXMoose was initially because it would've been better for Moose to heal from Midge first, at least both developed from the relationship - it was its own story and both benefited. With Fangs MIA for god knows how long, the only person whose gonna develop is Kevin, but his feelings of rejection are gonna stem from the fact he wasn't "good enough" to 'ascend', not because some guy he dated for like, 2 weeks at most left him. LITERALLY popped out of nowhere and was unnecessary. Their characters wouldn't be any different if their relationship just. didn't happen

[Tom4784]

The show is meant to be anachronistic so the 50's tech in modern times isn't really an issue.

I actually watched the whole of season 3 a while back after initially giving up on it after a few episodes. It was woeful, nonsensical and it's writing was nonexistent. It's entertaining in how bad it is but it's a world away from the surprising good guilty pleasure that Season 1 was.

[LukeB]

I haven't watched any of season 3, is it any good?

[Ant.]

I haven't watched any of season 3, is it any good?

it's got its many many flaws, but I lowkey enjoyed it, but that's because my expectations are very low. I don't expect much and I accept that it's cringey as **** and having those low expectations make it more enjoyable for me - this is a show where people walk around and say "I beg your misogynistic pardon?" in conversation unironically, after all

If you enjoyed season 1 and 2 for the characters and the twists (no matter how nonsensical they are), there's definitely something to enjoy here. but just expect a lot of it to be nonsensical, and missing some aspects on Season 1 and 2 that gave the show its charm in the first place (minor spoilers-ish for elaboration in spoiler below)

it feels like we barely see the "core four" together which really annoys me because its that dynamic which keeps me interested

[Amy Jade]

It's back and the first episode is beautiful tbf

[Marsh.]

Only watched it for Shannen Doherty. Nice to see her looking so healthy after her cancer battle.

[Vanessa]

Luke Perry :bawling:

[Amy Jade]

Only watched it for Shannen Doherty. Nice to see her looking so healthy after her cancer battle.

It was a very nice cameo too, very heartfelt I thought.

[Nicky91]

first ep got me in tears :sad: very beautiful, and i love that Shannon Doherty cameo :love:

also producers made the right decision not to seek a replacement for fred andrews, as that would've more than likely got the series criticism


also nice pictures when Luke was younger :love:

[Nicky91]

bit late for mentioning this, but doing so still

been renewed for season 5

https://netflixlife.com/2020/01/07/riverdale-season-5-renew-the-cw/

[Nicky91]

why the **** is Mr Honey looking similar to David Walliams :laugh2:


latest ep, another musical ep, songs from Hedwig and Angry Inch


The Archies officially born as of this episode too

[Nicky91]

new season might begin January next year, i had read yesterday evening

[Nicky91]

https://www.popbuzz.com/tv-film/riverdale/season-5-release-delayed-january-2021/

i agree Skeet, i hope for lesser singing, lesser ''glee club'' feel, more of that drama, action pls

i can understand so well why he got bored

[Nicky91]

https://twitter.com/CW_Riverdale/status/1349763409458442240

[Nicky91]

so Season 5 has more episodes than any other season, the actually intended season 4 finale in here, and then a time jump to the main plot of season 5

[Nicky91]

one newer main character too, Tabitha Tate (Pop Tate's granddaughter) played by Erinn Westbrook (whom we know from Glee as captain of cheerios, and Insatiable's Magnolia Barnard, and Awkward's Gabby Richards, Matty's girlfriend)

[Nicky91]

so ok, this time jump thing i am still getting used to

so we now have

Veronica whom is married to a wallstreet banker named Chadwick, and she herself wants him to stop being the alpha in the relationship

Betty in training to become a FBI agent, on the hunt after the TBK (trashbag killer

Archie joined the military, and now a recruiter for the military at riverdale high

Jughead got into lot of debts, after having become successful author, made some dangerous enemies too


Cheryl isolated herself with her Nana Rose in thornhill, because of Blossom curse, tries to make fake paintings and sell them in order to get money for thornhill repairs

Toni is pregnant now, leader of the vixens and also running la bonne nuit renamed as her own vixen bar and works at the school as guidance counselor

Reggie works for Hiram Lodge now as right hand man

Hiram has big plans to destroy riverdale for his own town of SoDale

[Nicky91]

if all goes well without more delays, season 5 should resume, August 11th

fingers crossed, since i want my dosage of riverdale again, and i sooooo want it even more because of that cliffhanger(ish) ending what the **** happened to Jughead

[Nicky91]

https://twitter.com/CW_Riverdale/status/1417877243423076352

[ThomasC]

Only seen half of series one and found it boring tbh.

[Nicky91]

3 more days the wait :dance2:


more Michael Consuelos scenes upcoming too as young hiram lodge :love: :love:


such a handsome son Mark has :flutter: and perfect to play in this series with his dad

[Nicky91]

lovely episode 5x12, great backstory from Hiram/Jaime


i really feel sympathy quite easy for him, and i do not see him as much of a villain at all


also him giving Reggie the chance to walk away and reconcile with his dad, since he recognized himself in Reggie, and wanted him to take that second chance with his father, something what he can't anymore


so basically he took revenge on his father's killer Vito, murdered him in cold blood at nursing home

now he wants to take the remaining palladium beneath the Blossom maple groves and finish what his father started, and also win his family back (Hermione and Veronica)



my score for this ep 9.5/10

[Nicky91]

Riverdale season 6

umm it gives me american horror story vibes


also now first episodes is in a alternate reality the town called Rivervale

[Nicky91]

Lou Cypher, seriously :laugh2:

great episode that one anyway, good one for Veronica to give Reggie as revenge to Lou into hell, for trying to betray her getting Lou into almost taking her soul :fan:


and the witches ep

hmmm LOL Poppy/Cheryl/Abigail Blossom :laugh3: and Nana Rose been a young soul trapped in a olderperson's body :laugh:


Barbara Wallace is such a fab actress, truly loving all of her scenes so far as Nana Rose


shame this Rivervale is coming to its end, but will be nice to head back into the original storyline again, but this was a nice parody just for entertainment and something different i guess

[Nicky91]

season 6 set to resume its main storyline by March 20


was first March 6th but postponed due to critics choice awards
