ignore the fact that 15 year old Archie looks like he is 23...

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?!?!

I AM SO TORN. On the one hand, I've been an Archie comic fan since I was a child (my mom used to reward me and my sister with good behavior when we were shopping by picking up a comic at the register when finishing up) and I used to read Riverdale FANFIC and ugh I don't know if I can handle it because I love the universe so much but I am SO CURIOUS especially because I've only heard good things about this show from people who were never really into the comics ahhhhhh.
