Playing on the CW. First season is on Netflix

The town of Riverdale, built on the maple syrup industry, is hiding a lot of secrets. The first one that needs solving is, “Who killed Jason Blossom?” Relationships are built, some fall apart. Rattlesnakes are involved.

I have never read an Archie comic and had little interest in this series until a friend recommended I take a look at it and I’m glad I did. This was surprisingly entertaining, with some outstanding performances, tight plotting and beautiful cinematography, better than you’ll see in most television shows. Throw in some rockin’ music (even the original stuff is very good) and you have a solid CW hit.

Did I mention that it has Josie and the Pussycats? And that they sing this?

And what I hear is that Season 2 will have Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Count me in.

 

Flytrap rating:  7.5/10
