It really stood out during the classroom investigative scenes.
It's a shame their talent isn't being matched by the writing.

They managed to make Riverdale have an actual atmosphere that most CW shows don't really have.
I do feel like they seem to have toned it down a bit, compared to in season 1 though.

Gawd this is probably the only show I will ever hate watch. The writers I think are seriously trying to piss me off this season.
"I dropped out of school at fourth grade so I could sell drugs to support my grandma." What. The. Fuck.

I'm just going to pretend the Archie prison storyline and by extension Veronica just don't exist right now. (With the exception of the gratuitous partial nudity and sweatpants, me and my boyfriend are loving that)
It's all about that spooky Gargoyle King plot and the "IT" style plot with the parents. That's some intruiging shit that I can't wait to see more of.
I really hope this does tie into Sabrina.
Also was it just me or was Joaquin's eyes made to look brighter? Either with contacts or in post production. They really stood out

The Black Hood turned out to be Betty's dad. They caught him, Archie did a bunch of dumb shit and Hiram got him thrown in jail because of it.
Season 2 was really a mixed bag but I can't front, I'm still down for more of this crazy ass show.
What happened with Betty's brother? Also, why is there no crossover with Sabrina anymore?
Chic was an imposter. And there's no crossover with Sabrina yet because of the network change. It might still happen eventually.
Archie was beating those guards like he was Captain America: Ginger Edition. Like, if he wanted to he could beat down Hiram and be done with this shit, so he can move on to bigger and spookier things.
That's the Riverdale way - introduce a new character and immediately kill them. It's honestly a shock Toni lived this long.
She's barely been in this season, which is even sillier given all the social media yuri bait.
Still feel like it is less ridiculous than special funeral cheerleader outfits.
lol yes cheerleading and funerals just don't make sense together XD
It's only because she gets like -4 screen time. Can't really kill a Serpent if she isn't even present to be killed. smh.

That latest episode hurt me in every way. Gets his ass kicked for some kicks. Wears even brighter kicks. What a guy.
I'm thinking of giving this show a go. Though I'm not entirely sure I get what kind of show this is. Is it just a teen drama show, or is it a supernatural mystery show with teen drama on top of that? Asking because I read that the upcoming show about Sabrina Spellman is closely tied to this, and that definitely looks to be in the supernatural category
Who lied to you
We hardly know ourselves tbh. I guess it's a teen drama with murder (well not always murder) mystery elements to it. S1 was pretty, but S2 was a total trashfire that is somehow still very much entertaining nonetheless.
My eyes hurt from all the eye rolling I did this episode. The coroner and the whole "face of evil" thing. Archie's speech about the glory of high school football. Dropping out in 4th grade to sell drugs to support Nana. The flagrant police brutality in the presence of several witnesses - I get that Hiram has a large sphere of influence, but really?
I don't know why I keep watching this show, but... the parents secret cabal has me intrigued. Bring on the next episode!

This season felt like it was written with the expectation that there was going to be a Sabrina crossover
Ok, Archie's storyline got a little more interesting but still, I am all in on this Gargoyle King nonsense.
During the ending with Ethel talking I said to myself "this fucking Gargoyle King is going to be in the damn hospital full costume and all". Sure enough there he or she was and I'm sitting here like
Jughead and Betty exploring it is cool, but give me some Scooby-Doo type shit and bring in the rest of the crew. Let Josie and Kevin do more than be mostly in the background. Let Cheryl get her Monster Hunter on and hunt down a Gargoyle.
Couldn't care less about Hiram and Veronica's back and forth, getting too repetitive now.

I want Sabrina to be revealed as being in charge of the Gargoyle King like "surprise, bitches".
I'm so tired of the Archshank Redemption already. Why does Archie think breaking out of prison is going to go well for him? I realize he knows that the whole thing is a Hiram troll job, but breaking out of prison is still breaking the law, and even if they stop Hiram's evil plan he's not going to get pardoned for that.
Oh god, that's exactly what Archie thinks is going to happen, isn't it...

Man, screw you guys. I'm loving prison Archie even if him taking the plea deal was stupid as hell. I'm done with him writing songs and playing football for a while. It was time for him to step out of his comfort zone even further and prison is a good way to do that.
I'm starting to like this season more. I thought this episode was genuinely intriguing. The gargoyle king stuff is interesting to me, and it really does seem like there's a supernatural aspect.
LOL at the return of the stupid break in clothes.

Ethel going full heel was kind of a weird twist. I don't think the King will turn out to really be a supernatural creature when all is said and done, but man would it be great if it is.
Honestly Archie has always been the worst part of this show from the start. All the other leads (and parents) are amazing and Cheryl = life.
Archie says he's guilty because he thinks he's does deserve to serve time for the things he's done
A month of serving time in prison later and he's all ready to break out
Alice is kind of normal one minute and then the next is seemingly full on brainwashed into the farm stuff, and I'm not a fan. I thought we were done with the Alice is manipulated by someone Betty doesn't trust storyline like with Chic last season.

This show is preposterously stupid and horrendously plotted (which is weird, because the first season was actually pretty strong in this regard), but I am here for it every week.
