Who do you ship? What happened to Jason Blossom? Will Archie ever stop being a dipshit? And, for the love of God, where is all the good Jughead-loves-burgers content?

This is my favorite show that I also sort of really hate. Archie/Veronica are my OTP. I just really, REALLY want it to go full on into āAfterlife with Archieā kinda content.
I hope the entire point of season 1 is just to tell the origin of why Jughead loves burgers

Cole Sprouse is utterly amazing on this show.
My ship was Betty/Veronica but I donāt think thatās going to happen anymore.

I 100% anticipated me losing interest in this show by now, that Iād be worn out after three twists/reveals every episode, but god. GOD. I somehow love it.
Itās very stylish. Iām a sucker for a solid song intercut with dramatic events happening elsewhere (I Feel Love, for example).
Itās got that weird dialogue that is focused on being Snarky and Clever rather than worrying about feeling at all natural (Cheryl especially) which I somehow am not sick of yet.
I love all the parents drama getting involved, it reminds me of The OC.
I ship no-one, Iām against kissing in all its forms. (This is a lie, but theyāre clearly not going to do anything interesting with Kevin so, whatever,)

Iām behind. I havenāt seen the last 2-3 episodes, but Iām very into this show.
Shipping: Archie/No One, because I donāt wish that kind of torture on anyone.
Betty/Veronica, always.
Also, Kevin/Joaquin. Kevin is, without a doubt, my favorite and Joaquin is adorable, but Iām a sucker for the sensitive bad boy types.
Iām curious how long the murder will be drawn out and what theyāll do after. I know a lot of people compared it to Twin Peaks when it first came out because of its tone and Twin Peaks was a show that kinda flailed around when its mystery was solved.
The creatives have said that this weekās episode (12) will reveal the killer!
WHAT. I need to catch up.
it was everyone, but nobody knows everyone else is complicit, so thatās why everyoneās so edgy and paranoid
This show is so ridiculous and definitely is from the CW cookie-cutter of āI will turn on my friends with one resentful conversation, oh wait Iām back in on the plan because of anotehr conversationā writing mill but fuck, I love this show SO much. Just get Cheryl Blossom to stop overlining her lips.
This show is honestly remarkable; one of my close friends and I are obsessed with it. Iāve only recently started getting water from the CW well (in the last couple years Iāve been watching Jane the Virgin, Crazy-Ex Girlfriend, iZombie, and briefly The 100), and Iāve told that maybe this level of absurdity isnāt actually new, but I am constantly amazed by the levels to which it elevates itself. I thought the stretch of episodes in the middle were a bit dull, but the last few (starting with the maple syrup ceremony episode) have been firing on all cylinders. I disagree with @AppleCider though, literally everything Cheryl does is perfect.
Also at some point I got obsessed with the idea of a Serial mashup and spent well over an hour working on this.

I watched the first three episodes of this a while back and was kind of meh on it, but I gave it a second chance and Iāve grown to love it. Wish Kevin got more screen time.
The Serial mashup is inspired, seriously.

The thing that really sticks in my craw about Kevin is how in the first episode they were all āletās lampshade the fact that Kevin is a gay best friend!ā and then have done nothing to improve it. I mean, he at least gets a love interest/sex life, which is good, and itās the CW, so I donāt necessarily expect better from them at this point, but it still sucks!
The maple syrup Jughead VO is the greatest thing I have ever heard on television and nothing will ever beat it.

I said, from the start, that Kevin was gonna maybe fool around with a couple dudes and then suddenly Have A Boyfriend with no real introduction of their relationship and lo and behold.
Itās classic gay secondary character structure really.
I like the show a lot and Iām glad itās ending just before Twin Peaks is starting.
Soā¦ those reveals!!! Sat at my desk trying not to scream about Bettyās family being secret Blossoms!!
Iāve never read any of the source material and stuff so I have no idea how much is true to (comic) book?
That episode was so much. Iām stunned.
I assume theyāre taking LARGE liberties. I also assume thereās a subset of Archie Comics fans who are annoyed about Jason Blossom being killed off immediately (heās a very minor character, I think, but Iām sure thereās SOMEONE upset about it).
I heard some bad bad things about this show which bummed me out because I wanted it to be goodā¦ wanted to see some Cole Sprouse. Convince me its still worth checking out?
It is so much fun. I donāt know if I could commit to saying that it is Good? But. Iām having a lot of fun.
Itās very stylish, and dramatic, and has some pretty solid songs if thatās a draw for you (Josie and the Pussycats kill it every time, imo).
(Archieās really hot, if thatās a draw for you, also)
