Riverdale S3 ★★☆☆☆

There is a sense of wrongness that creeps up on you as you rewatch the third series of Riverdale, subjecting your friends to it who have never experienced it. There is the obvious things: The Dungeons & Dragons cult, the other cult, the Gargoyle King, Hiram’s evil council of vagueness, Archie fights a bear. Reality is slipping more and more in this show. But you remember that. That’s the ridiculousness that you looked forward to sharing with your friends. But reality seems to be slipping out of the show in even stranger ways. You already joked that nothing in this show matters because it will all be forgotten half an hour later to focus on some new drama, but this is genuinely becoming hard to follow. People talking about plot points that have not happened, deaths you don’t remember seeing. Characters suddenly in completely different places episode to episode without seemingly any reason. Was it always like this? You definitely don’t remeb—oh. The torrent you downloaded had all the episodes out of order. That explains a lot. You all agree that this is an improvement over watching the show normally and don’t bother fixing it.
