nickwire Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm surprised how good it was. I was expecting a normal CW teen show but got a weird form of twin peaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hot Miss Grundy, what in the world? I watched the show and was surprised that I liked it. I actually think the casting for the big three (Archie, B & V) was well done. Even Archie's dad was a good choice. I'll be ready for Episode 2. It is the 1980s all over again. Watch for Molly Ringwold's role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

999ghosts Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thank you Netflix for adding this on the list. I am enjoying it. But a question for the Archie comic book readers. Is this a story from the comic books. Is it a new story. I always thought Archie comics to be something totally different. Is the comic this dark?

TheLiamSturgess Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yep, completely different. What I respect a lot is that they pay homage to a lot of much smaller elements of the Archie universe - I can't go into detail, but later in the season they incorporate a couple characters and other things that essentially amount to easter eggs that proves they dug deep into the source material. I'm not a fan of Ms. Grundy or Jughead's more toned-down eccentricity, but I like Archie, Betty and Veronica A LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 My wife and I watched the first episode last night. We liked it! There were some surprises that if not read here I would have been more thrown off (Archie's relationship with the music teacher; Reggie asking Archie if he bagged any cougars over the summer). But this turned out to be a much more interesting approach to the show than trying to act out early versions of these characters. Jughead definitely comes across as a much deeper character than some kid fixated on always eating (the Shaggy of the Archie gang). We'll be watching Episode Two today.

aardvark88 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Madam Satan and Little Archie references !! Lots of understated comic book references: 'Riverdale, town with Pep' sign in opening sequence, updated 'Sugar, Sugar' song, Moose's girlfriend Midge. Perhaps keeping Sabrina for the Hallowe'en episode? <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Just saw the 2nd episode and the Town with PEP! Sign was awesome. Show is definitely growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
