IT IS HAPPENING AGAh wait poo poo I knew that was popular for a reason. Wait, that Dark Archie show got a second season? And it's good? What the hell? Stop what you're doing and go watch the first season on Netflix. It's only 13 hour-long episodes, you can blast through it in a weekend, two max. I'm not going to tell you that this show is "different" from the typical teen drama. It's not Friday Night Lights. What I will tell you is that this show takes the hyperdramatics of your average soap opera and executes them in stunning fashion. As I said in a roundtable article I co-wrote with my friend Andy, this is a show for theater kids. If you think you can roll with that, give it a try. Go ahead and bug out if you're not feeling it by episode 5, though. (Note that the Miss Grundy arc really drags the show down, but they move past it after a few episodes.) Uh, I already knew this was good. Can you remind me of what happened in the first season? My pleasure.
Ah yes, that's some good drama right there. Now what's coming this season?
I'm tired of every SA thread constantly devolving into Israel/Palestine arguments and complaints about SJWs. Where can I go after the episode that isn't here? To be fair, that never happened in the last Riverdale thread, but this is SA we're talking about, so...
Riverdale airs Wednesdays at 8 PM ET/PT; if you live outside the US, they'll be available week-to-week on Netflix the day after air. One last thing for those of you looking to snack on something sweet during the premiere: General Ironicus posted:The Sticky Maple DivisionPost fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Oct 24, 2017 |

Fun show. I think Archie is the weakest link but didn't the actor actually break his hand doing the above scene? Props for commitment.

One hell of an OP. One hell of a first season. As funny and biting as the group scenes can be, its the vulnerability of the 1:1 scenes that hit hard. Jughead's "We are Not Our Parents." in particular stands out.

The cast was not just a costume choice. IT'S BACK So many exciting directions for the show to go in this year. I'm really looking forward to the Hiram/Archie dynamics and Jughead's life on the wrong side of the tracks.

Kazinsal posted:OH poo poo I don't know any country that did that last season. If you're non-US and Netflix carries Riverdale, it should be going up around midnight night of (technically the next day). That's how it works in Canada for the CW shows aired by Netflix instead of Global or w/e anyway.

DivisionPost posted:HOLY poo poo that scene with Cheryl and her Mom. Yeah, that was something else. Cheryl really upped her...Cheryl-ness out of nowhere. Which is something, given that she literally JUST burned down a mansion! I question having a woman we established as fleeing an abusive relationship being graphically murdered - serial statutory predator status be damned. The shock ending that will soon launch a thousand entertainment blog thinkpieces.

I was thinking, "Man, it'd be so great if it was never explained why Penelope Blossom was burned from the fire and it was left to our imagination" but I'll take that too! quote:I question having a woman we established as fleeing an abusive relationship being graphically murdered - serial statutory predator status be damned. The shock ending that will soon launch a thousand entertainment blog thinkpieces. That's a good point. It's probably tempered by the fact that she's collateral damage in whatever grudge our killer has with the Andrews family and not murdered by her abuser (that we know of). But it's fair to ask all the same.

DivisionPost posted:HOLY poo poo that scene with Cheryl and her Mom. "what really happened in the barn" Were we shown something in the prior season's climax that wasn't shown to the others or was that meant to imply there's something about that scene we don't know yet?

Zerilan posted:"what really happened in the barn" The latter, I think; makes sense because Cliff's death always seemed a little too neat for me. I think Clifford snapped his tether, wanted to blow town, Penelope wouldn't go, there was a fight...and then there was a solution.

Five minutes into the episode via the CW Apple TV app and it's off the drat chain. Jughead's opening narration being present tense and his change of tone was pretty good.

Weirdly enough after seeing Riverdale and Mr. Robot's premieres back to back, I think I prefer Riverdale. Fuckin Cheryl, man. I could watch a whole spinoff just about her.

I love how the staff in the hospital is dressed like they are from the 1940's and that's not even in the top 5 weird things that happened.

It is so weird to watch Archie & Friends live through something that's almost Hannibal-as-CW drama, but I love it. Jughead as a budding greaser is amazing as well.

I like that they had Juggy eating a burger in the very first episode as opposed to waiting for the last scene of the season like they did last year.
