I am 4 minutes into the first episode of Riverdale and I am already losing my mind. This guy said "Archie is Swell" and then called Archie a millenial. This is GRUESOMELY temporally unmoored and it is clearly intentional.

"Did you tap some cougar ass" absolutely hellish phrase thank you for drawing attention to the fact that it's just a bad set of words @Paradox
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
@SophiaSurname god i like. you're reacting like this to season 1
you have no idea what's to come
season 1 is so intensely normal
Riverdale
@junebug oh i am aware of what's to come, The War of season 5 is why i'm watching
Riverdale
@junebug this show so transparently knows exactly what it's doing and i'm very surprised that people act like that's not the case
Riverdale
