The highly anticipated Season 2 premiere of the Netflix original hit show “Riverdale” premiered last Wednesday on the CW network and came to Netflix on the Thursday. Lots of promo and hype was made over the return of Riverdale. Based on the characters from the Archie comics, the show has been all the rage within the millenial community, not only because of the handsome Archie and Jughead but for the twists and turns! New episodes come weekly to Netflix every Thursday!

Wednesday was also the release of the Bachelor Canada! We met our Canadian bachelor Chris Leroux and the single ladies who have come looking for love. The season premiere anticipated lots of drama, love, heartbreak, rose ceremonies, and hopefully an engagement for the handsome bachelor!

The final teaser for Stranger Things season 2 aired and it is action packed and terrifying. We see the return of our favourite characters and some new ones. The Netflix original first season was extremely popular and taken well so the second season is highly anticipated by viewers who are excited to see what freakiness the Duffer Brothers are bringing this season.

In some unfortunate news, the lead singer Gord Downie of the iconic Canadian band The Tragically Hip has passed away. Downie was struggling with a brain tumour and anticipated for his decline. The band did a final Canadian tour, bringing in thousands and thousands of Canadian fans. The Tragically Hip was Canada in essence and became one of the most influential and popular Canadian bands. Many Canadians turned to social media to express their deepest sadness. The Hip is a band that Canadians feel in tune with and relate too. Prime Minister Trudeau gave a tearful statement about his reaction to the loss of his friend. Trudeau stated, “we knew this was coming but we hoped that it wasn’t.” Gord Downie will be deeply missed
