Riverdale S4 ★☆☆☆☆

Poster.

I like how the technology in this show has gotten more and more anachronistic as the show goes on and it keeps inconsistently leaning into mid-century aesthetics without rhyme or reason. I enjoy how at the start of the show the idea is that Riverdale is a normal town and everyone was shocked by this sudden, horrible murder, and now, four series in, everyone thinks that Riverdale is the biggest shithole in the world where only bad things have ever happened and it’s always been like this. Having a functioning memory makes this show fairly amusing. What happened to Hiram Lodge’s vague council of evil? What, in fact, happened to any plot point that existed three episodes ago? It doesn’t matter. Riverdale night is about torturing yourself with your friends and repeatedly promising them the real bullshit is going to start soon, we swear.
