ARE ANY OF YOU WATCHING 'RIVERDALE'??????
Two episodes in and I am SO HOOKED!
Yes, I scoffed, I was skeptical, but this feels like the spiritual successor to Veronica Mars with its self-aware pop culture references and no-teen-talks-like-that banter.
And, best news, CW finally updated their app so you can stream the shows, no subscription needed and it looks like they don't expire either so go watch 'em so we can talk.
Because OMG THE END OF THE SECOND EPISODE! There are so many plot lines the show could have dragged out for a full season but it's like "NOPE, going to end that NOW and go HERE! HA!" and I'm like "OH WTF, I thought that was going to be the mid-season twist or the cliffhanger something". It really keeps you guessing.
Yes, I expect to ramble more about this so it is getting its own tag. IT IS THAT GOOD!
Please tell me someone here is watching?!?!

Date: 2017-02-07 05:56 am (UTC)I like Josie and the Pussycats although I'm still getting used to the sound...I always read the comics like they sound like Jem or the Pussycats movie.

Date: 2017-02-07 03:35 pm (UTC)Though I'm not sure how redheaded pale Archie maintains his paleness after working outside all summer and then playing football...though all the redheads in the show are very pale. The color palette is very comic book, but it's like someone dropped an Archie comic in a puddle - the once colors stand out but they are muted?
I'm already hoping there can be a Josie spin off because I loved them from the first second on screen. I was a big fan of the movie because it was so ridiculously fun though now it is SO DATED. Still...I may or may not own the soundtrack LOL

Date: 2017-02-07 03:48 pm (UTC)I'm wondering how the show is actually doing. I brought it up with Tim's daughter, who is 14 so I assume in the target demographic for the show and she had no idea what I was talking about.

Date: 2017-02-07 04:11 pm (UTC)I agree, it gets you hooked! And also LOL at the title of your post! Also that red hair? Come on xD

Date: 2017-02-07 04:17 pm (UTC)Yes, at 15 you don't even have facial hair yet, I can't imagine being so ripped after a summer spent working... XD
I'm really enjoying the show... The CW is doing a good job... :D

Date: 2017-02-07 11:48 pm (UTC)I'm glad they kept in Kevin! He's a pretty new character, so I wasn't sure. Though, having Moose wanting to do naughty things with boys is so out of left-field. In the comics he was always so deeply in love with Midge. Unless he's bisexual? I'm not certain?
I'd love to see a Veronica/Betty situation. Cause Archie is a douche and does not appreciate those ladies. Going after a TEACHER. C'MON! CW trying to be all spicy.
So - I think Jason and Cheryl went on that boat to do a mutual suicide pact. Cheryl probably backed out last minute, they fought and the boat was turned over. Jason disappeared under water and she thought he drowned. However - when she talks to Veronica in the locker room saying "He was supposed to be back by now" makes me wonder if it was all an attempt to get attention from parents/school friends? Hm.
I don't think she shot him at all. Unless she was secretly in love with him and pissed that he was all crazy for Polly - though...Betty says Jason treated Polly like crap.
I DUNNO.

Date: 2017-02-08 01:19 am (UTC)I love parts of it, but since I have grown up on the comics, there are parts that make me go "WHAT?! THAT'S SO OOC!"
But it's growing on me. Second episode was so much better.
I think it's also on Netflix.
