![]() Netflix's teen-centric drama Outer Banksisn't going to go down in history as one of the great teen shows - in fact, it's pretty ludicrous and we still can't believe it's entirely real - but it's an easy way to kill a weekend. Riverdale is just self-aware enough to let you know the writers and actors are in on the joke without compromising the earnestness with which the actors take on these absurd situations, allowing viewers to get seriously emotionally invested in these comically surreal storylines. Or a high schooler being killed by a bear in one episode only to be revived and have to take his SATs in the next. Or a high schooler running a local biker gang. Even a high schooler being a mole for the FBI. ![]() Meaning: nothing is off limits and anything is possible in this wild CW drama. But the thing is, when characters are as bone-headed as the ones in Riverdale, it becomes believable that they'll do anything. It will have you cackling with glee one minute, screaming at a character's idiocy the next, and then scratching your head wondering why a high schooler is doing a strip tease while singing "Mad World" karaoke at a biker bar. ![]() This show is so silly, but in the best way possible.
