How excited are we for Riverdale Season 3? Too excited, that’s how. It’s going to be a great season, not least because we’re also excited to maybe see some crossover with The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

This is a dark episode of Riverdale. Ryan and Chloë revel in it. Enough said. Today’s episode opens with a discussion of Genre as a concept with special guest Emily Tyler.

We get a good sense of how much teenagers think they can solve everything and how thoroughly the police state invades to homes of the lower working class in this taught episode that includes a killer cover of Kids in America. Plus, what on earth is a polyamorist?<img src=" http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RiverdaleGang/~4/zNHn1KXJLR4 " height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Hosted on Acast. See acast.c...

The burger hits the fan in this one, with Bughead playing out adolescent boundary pushing, Archie throwing a rager, and two of our queer characters pretending oh-so-hard to be straight.<img src=" http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RiverdaleGang/~4/LltobvGYTAU " height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Hosted on Acast.

We head straight for the sticky centre of Riverdale high society as the Blossom clan descends for the annual tree-tapping.

What happens when you put the Coopers, the Blossoms, and the Lodges in a single apartment for a baby shower? Weird Dark Sugar Trash Magic, that’s what.

Something is in the attic at the Coopers… or someone. While the Sharks and the Jets – whoops, the Blossoms and the Coopers – search for Polly, Cheryl and Betty form an unlikely alliance.

The Pussycats are in fact killing it in this episode, with Archie trailing behind as a stage-fright inflicted puppy dog.
