I love anything scandalous, shady and dramatic. They together act as a spice in my life and Riverdale is my new discovery on spices. The taste is satisfying.
As an observer, my favored concern in every book I read and every series I watch is the character arc. I like to see how they start as a character and what they become towards the end of it. While some might be fascinated by the words, action and flow. I am all about the characters. I want to know, to what lengths they can go to save themselves or someone they love and their secrets. Maybe if I had to choose, that's the most captivating features about humans. How oblivious we are of ourselves and our capabilities.
Riverdale is a murder mystery based on the characters by Archie comics. Like in every murder mystery, there is a victim and suspects. But what I like about Riverdale so far is how every suspect is a victim and the victim himself is the most blamed culprit in various instances while he lived. One might wonder, what can a teenager be capable of to completely wreck? Turns out he was responsible for several destruction. He was dead for a reason.
Riverdale is the story about many intertwined stories. The characters each related to one another. Everyone with their own backstory. The stories are interesting, twisted and full of surprises. Each of their stories make the characters strong but there is still so much more to them. Every episode is a revelation to me and a growth for these characters. Even the nicest and most quiet ones are wicked in a beautiful way.
This might be the first time after a long time that I have fallen in love with every character of the story. I want to be friends with these fractions of writer's imagination. I want to know their secrets.
I am five episodes in of season one of the series and even as a all time binge watcher, I am deciding to take sufficient pause between every episodes. I want to take my time to learn about these people. I am intrigued to know them more. I want to know what's going on inside their head. I want to take my time with their inhuman adventures.
In my opinion, Riverdale confirms how at the end of the day, we are all humans and when it comes to human emotions everything else is secondary. One should definitely watch and make friends with Riverdale's families.
