Riverdale
Ok so
You know how Riverdale is explicitly the kind of prime time soap opera where the premise is "We're a normal town but then a murder exposes all our dark secrets"?
Riverdale, the show, is that town.
The show Riverdale is spending season 1 establishing that this is a Normal Show. But there is so much signaling that "no you're wrong this is not a Normal Show"
Riverdale
"his conversation is not the stuff of Oscar Wilde, or even Diablo Cody" ok that's actually a solid gag
Riverdale
"What's a sticky maple?"
"It's kind of what it sounds like. It's a riverdale thing."
THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF AN ANSWER KEVIN
