Over the course of its seasons, Riverdale has gradually become a “Big Silly” series, with each new plot, each crazier than the next, causing many jokes on social media. After more than six years, the CW’s flagship program is ending its seventh season with a final episode that should still surprise many.
In meeting Made with media VulnerabilityActress Lili Reinhart spoke bluntly about the difficulty of playing in such a mockumentary series: “On the web, people look at clips out of context and think, ‘What?’ But I thought it was about teenagers. That’s how we did it in the beginning, at least in the first season.“
He continues: “It’s not easy being a prankster. We just want to be actors, we are passionate about what we do. So when the absurd side of the series became a topic of conversation, it got complicated.“
The actor confirms that all the absurdity of the intrigues gives Riverdale its charm: “When we were reading the script and something funny happened, Roberto would start laughing because he understood the absurdity and the excess.“
Another star of the show also defended himself from criticism. Camila Mendes doesn’t mince words: “Superhero movies are a hit at the box office these days and they are the most absurd stories you can imagine! You have a raccoon fighting aliens in space! No one thinks, “That doesn’t make sense.”“
“Us is also a comic book adaptationCamila Mendes in detail. It should be fun and quirky. If you want to watch a series with dramatic intrigue about a gang of teenagers, there are plenty of other places..”
Riverdale is available on Netflix.
