This reminds me of the first time I read about Pretty Little Liars - a show that was batshit insane and totally different from what I assumed it was.
Only on coke. Lots and lots of coke.

The showrunner/writer for Riverdale is the showrunner/writer for the Pretty Little Liars reboot that just started.
I have not watched this show but over the years I have heard a lot about it. And I can say with confidence that I have never understood a single thing people say when they talk about it, or even the basic premise. Zero comprehension.
Every teen drama must go the 13 Reasons Why route where they completely abandon the main thread and continually escalate to keep viewers interested.
strong late 20s-looking guy is in high school but is in doubt whether he should pursue football or music, oh shit it seems like there's a murderer in town, he and his group of friends including a "weirdo" (a guy in a beanie) and two late 20s-looking girls should solve this mystery
seven seasons later, multiversal shit is happening and the world will end, a friend of the group which is also the aliexpress scarlet witch will save us
But to go from murder mystery to this? So was Archie's dad killed by a time traveling alien who is a descendant of Jughead?
Honestly, I think Luke Perry's death, and Fred Andrews being killed off for real in the universe with Shannen Doherty just happening to be the person who showed up to tell Archie what happened, was the moment the show skipped the rails and wound up on its current trajectory. Once Luke Perry was gone, all the show's limiters were officially removed.
Ah, so they're *definitely* setting stuff up for the inevitable Archie VS Predator season, right?
Riverdale is my guilty pleasure. My son just rolls his eyes when he see it on my Netflix homepage. I enjoyed the finale, with the exception of the singing. I will be sad to see it go (unlike some of the cast).
What musical was the song from? And is there really an American Psycho musical for the episode that happened before in this season?
Can't wait for the Alex Meyer review.
Do people care that the show is nonsense now? lol
It seems so quaint when it was just a murder mystery Twin Peaks thing.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the reason why the comic of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina just fucking stopped a few years ago in the middle of a really cool arc?
Forgive me, again, if I am further incorrect in that isn't the dude who is the showrunner for Riverdale and the awful Netflix Chilling Adventure show the dude who wrote the Chilling Adventures comic? I really don't know you go from the comic to all this.

I stopped watching during season 3 or 4 because it sucked and clearly it hasn't gotten any better.
Technically, kind of. Though more than anything I imagine it was the guy getting promoted to the head of Archie Comics that kind of killed the Chilling comics.
OMG. This image. PLEASE tell me that Archie's cult is called 'The Red Heads.'lmao this show
it was never normal this show was weird af all the way back in season 1, here's archie about to film a gangbang video
it went off the rails from there after slowly morphing into Sons of Anarchy, then I guess some superhero shit I stopped watching around the time Cheryl became Red Arrow and now I guess she's Scarlet Witch
Nobody remembers that spinoff except the Riverdale writers, who namedrop its protagonist in throwaway lines of Veronica dialogue every three episodes.
KJ Apa was only 19 when they filmed season 1. Lili Reinhardt was 20.
oh im fully aware. they really don't look high school age tho, sprouse kinda fitted in but the rest of main cast didn't
Holy Shit! I thought I was the only one who watched Passions. Lmaooo.
I was sick often as a child so passions was my mid-afternoon jam
Honestly the actress is genuinely great so I'd love for exactly this lolthe entire latter half of this season is basically Madelaine Petsch's audition reel for Marvel/Disney's Jean Grey. Good luck, sis.
Ah, so they're *definitely* setting stuff up for the inevitable Archie VS Predator season, right?
That's way too grounded for this show.
I say it in every Riverdale thread but it really is this generations Passions
He's the oldest of them. After the timeskip he looked like a 40 year old divorcee.
this is what i dont like sometimes about these hate boner threads.
almost everytime the op has no idea what they are talking about.
Ah Riverdale, what I tell my friends is the show that keeps on giving. If you watch this show with the proper lens and mindset, which is to see just how far off the rails each new season will go, it's damn entertaining.
Season 1 is actually pretty normal and kind of a teenage Twin Peaks vibe which is what got me to check it out in the first place but then season 2 starts getting weird and season 3 is when it gets crazy. Four is mostly back to being a murder mystery but then 5 ups the crazy meter and season 6 out crazies 5! You just shake your head when it gets super silly and say "Oh Riverdale, this is so you" as you laugh. I will miss this show when it's gone.

Not sure where this week's song came from. It was gruesome. And, yes, there was an American Psycho song, "Killing Spee". Kevin sang it. Whenever he sings, his fast vibrato makes me want to claw my ears off.
Kevin's the best singer on the show (not saying much I know). Who hurt you today?
Haha. I'm on a diet. Everything annoys me at the moment. To be honest, I think Lili Reinhard has the nicest tone.
Oh you're on a diet. Everything annoys you. Here you go:
