To the point
It is my pleasure to report that this episode marks a definite improvement for Riverdale, with the magical addition of an element that had been sorely lacking from the first couple of episodes: humor! This show is still figuring out its tone, which it has thus far borrowed from several other teen drama sources. Riverdale…
Hiya folks. I caught a cold in Puerto Rico (my version of “I Took A Pill In Ibiza”) so my energy and enthusiasm for the machinations of Riverdale’s terrifying teenagers are at a low ebb. With that in mind, this recap is going to predominately focus on one of this episode’s storylines (“Mistress Betty and…
Look. So in the beginning there was a darkness that was less than nothing. Even to say “there was” is wrong, because there wasn’t.

Christmas is over, but it still feels appropriate to be writing about A Christmas Special, Sense8’s return from a yearlong hiatus.
