1. Well, Riverdale just got a whole lot creepier than The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and went full-on teen Twin Peaks.

Still has some pacing issues. But the actors playing the teens are doing a great job. And, I'm noting a trend in some of these series...the parents are not so nice, and the kids seem to be discovering their wicked wicked deeds. In some ways, Riverdale goes a lot further in that department than Runaways did. (It's also better written and directed, not to mention a better production style.)

I'm finally all caught up.

They are doing a rather twisted version of Dungeons and Dragons...think D&D RPG by way of Twin Peaks.
Reminds me a little of The Secret History by Donna Tartt in some respects, which also played with the idea. In which there's an urban legend -- the more you play the RPG, the more it gets into your head, and the more you become part of the game until the game slowly takes over.

Very creepy.
