It's been five months since The CW's Riverdale wrapped up its surprisingly great first season with the shot heard 'round Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, and buzz surrounding the show has reached a fever pitch. In the premiere of Dial M For Maple, the new Riverdale recap show, hosts and A.V. Club staffers Marah and Cameron look back on what went down in season one. We all know "Archie got hot," but how else did the sexy, syrupy series flip its wholesome comic-book origins on their head? They'll also explore what made the show—and its cast—so appealing, and attempt to tackle some of the biggest mysteries heading into season two: Will Fred Andrews survive? What will become of 'Bughead' now that Jughead's a Serpent? How might Sabrina The Teenage Witch fit into all of this? And could Nana Rose Blossom possibly have survived the fire at Thornhill?
