TV: Riverdale

[Shareefruck]

Did anybody see the preview that shows that Grundy is an imposter of the REAL Mrs. Grundy, who's actually an old lady who mysteriously disappeared or something?

I only saw a couple, but I think the worst part of every episode is the cringe-worthy Jughead monologues that bookend the show.

So.. So..bad. The actor's delivery is severely lacking and the lines are simply poor to begin with.

And they try so hard to be profound! Just..... uuuggggggg...

That is another pretty cringeworthy detail. I generally dislike non-diegetic monologues to begin with, but this takes it to a whole other level of bad...........dear lord.

That and the entirety of episode 3 have been by two biggest pet peeves thus far.

Yet sadly, for some reason we're all still watching this

It's like a slow motion trainwreck you can't pull your eyes away from.

Sweet lord, this show is trying to brainwash teens into rebelling against their parents!

But seriously, every parent in this show is a garbage human being and they all deserve to burn in the eternal fiery depths of hell.

Except for Mrs. Lodge and Mr. Andrews. Maybe.

The Mayor is fine, her husband is a piece of **** though. Mrs. Lodge is a little slimy. Mr. Andrews is a perfect dad. The Sheriff seems fine too.

The Coopers and the Blossoms are particularly despicable. Jughead's dad isn't far behind. Leaving his own son on the streets? WTF?

Veronica in a catsuit with that smirk...my brain just stops braining for a while.
This show is a guilty pleasure, no apology required.

Addictive show

I took it as Jughead not wanting to live with his dad for the obvious reasons

But yea this show is terrible but I can't stop watching

 

[Muston Atthews]

I'm digging this show. Seems like Cooper/Blossom is very Capulet/Montague. There's been a few Romeo/Juliet/Shakespeare references

What the hell

jughead kissing betty

**** really. god damn it

 

[Baby Punisher]

It's really picked up and left you hanging the next couple of weeks. Well played CW well played indeed.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Spoilers aside, I actually thought the last episode was pretty good. The Jughead/father relationship had more nuance than expected.

 

[izzy]

at least jughead had his S shirt on

 

[izzy]

it was jugheads dad and matthew lillard the entire time

 

[Babe Ruth]

the mood, Pacific Northwest setting, and the unsolved murder.. kinda reminds me of the Twin Peaks series..

Guess I'm not the only one who felt a sense of Twin Peaks' nostalgia watching Riverdale. A recent Vanity Fair article pointed out similarities, & reminded me that Madchen Amick acted in both series..

Twin Peaks' Shelly, turned Betty Cooper's mom:

Also think the exterior shot of the Coopers' house, was used for a home in Twin Peaks, but not sure.. probably a lot of similar houses around that area.

Wow, and a young Betty Cooper's mom kind of looks like current Veronica

What a great way to absolutely kill momentum and lose viewers

It's on Netflix. They'll be fine.
