i know this may come across as insensitive but the first episode of season 4 was such a downer it was actually hard to watch. it felt like such a slog, i was thinking it was at least an hour and a half long. its also so strange for cheryl to be flirting with jason's bloated corpse in the season 3 finale and then in s4e1 be really sensitive about grief and loss.

Bruh

Riverdale's problem is they don't do climatic endings/reveals/closures properly or well at all.

Whenever theres a big reveal on who the killer is, mastermind, secret enemy, big bad guy they usually do it mid season like randomly and once they reveal who this big mystery is its literally done and never spoken about or mention rarely right after like WTF?

Why do they always do that?

I've been vocal about how much I hate Hiram Lodge and how they dragged out his character arc and storyline far too long to death and then when they finally kill him off the show they literally don't even show his death instead its done off screen and told by his daughter with a few lines and she's not even all that moved either way even though she's the one who put out the hit on him.

Everyone else is like oh yeah ok? Then they all move on.

They did the same thing with the Gargoyle King, Black Hood, the person who was doing the SMUT videos, etc. etc.

I'm only on season 6 episode 7 but I'm worried they will not even have a true series final conclusion even concluding and provided much closure at the end huh?

Why do bad things keep happening in riverdale like the black hood , the meteor , going back to the 1950s so in the end everyone goes to the sweet here after which is just pops with Archie comics ?

Im a big Rarchie shipper but i keep seeing say they had a threesome which episode is that?

I’m reaching Riverdale for the first time since 2022 and i just realized Kevin Keller is so fake and never loyal. He switches up on betty and the gang every moment he can. I’m on S6 EP11, the way he’s spying on everyone for Percival is crazy. Trying to gain custody of baby Anthony bc he’s jealous of Fangs and Tony is so dirty and bitter.

Currently season 3, it's SOOO good to binge (hadnt seen True Detective S1 the first time I watched, had no idea how much inspo this season had)

When do you think Riverdale fell off Riverdale has made so many insane choices and I've only seen the show all the way through one time and it's not some masterpiece but I did enjoy it even when there were some decisions and things that make you go what I enjoyed it even after I went ridiculous some of the choices and things to decide to do were baffling when do you think it fell off

Veronica saying Archikins or Daddykins??

Why does she say their names like that? Is this a reference to how teenagers spoke in the olden days like from the OG comics or something?

Whenever she does this it's so cringe and like so forced and unnatural like WTF????

I am convinced she is only casted because she has dark hair which makes her look like she is Italian or whatever she is in the movie, Think about it She has almost 2 facial expressions, she has the same face when she is sad and normal and happy.

It's a face I can't get used to. Like with Betty I didn't like her at first although she is not attractive for me she is conventionally Beautiful. But with that Veronica girl it reminds me of that Duolingo Spanish Girl who is always dull.

Maybe I am being deluded and hating the role but her role is not that bad to be honest so far but one thing for sure. She is trying too hard, her acting doesn't feel real,

In short She is AI before AI for this series😂 and I don't like her features.

Guys be honest and tell me if you agree or disagree. I hope I am not the only one

Do you know anyone who wears a crown/hat similar to Jugheads in real life? Any photos to prove it? It would be cool to see some real life examples. Thanks!

This is what comes up when you Google his crown/hat on Wikipedia it was called a Whoopee Cap and they said it was made from a Fedora. It said in the 1920's and 30's it signified one was a mechanic?

This is an actor from the Andy Griffith show which aired in the 1960's.

Would be cool to see more modern day version of this hat right?

Just finished season 5 and started season 6 its like an alternative parallel universe??

*SPOILERS*

So season 5 ends pretty usual with a cliff hanger it looks like someone planted a ticking bomb under Archie's bed and then it cuts to a scene with Hiram counting down the bomb?

Theres a scene where the TBK calls Betty to say hey let's just leave each other alone from now on. Like WTF? So is that the closure for those two?

Everyone points a gun at Hiram to leave town which shows everyone hates him so why the F does he even still stick around for? His own daughters even pointing a gun at him, isn't that a clear wake up call to just finally leave and never come back?

Anyone else annoyed by the singing episodes? Seems like they try to do a few now per season with the story not following any real arc of the season?

So just started season 6 and only saw the first few episodes and it's now like an alternative parallel universe to Riverdale called Riverhale? WTF? Should we even care what happens during these episodes or does it like matter what happens during these for its an alternative parallel universe right? I'm so confused why they'd even go this route?

Before Riverdale, I mostly associated Archie with bright comic covers, dumb teenage problems, Jughead eating everything in sight and the endless Betty/Veronica drama. Then Riverdale took those same names and turned the whole thing into murder mysteries, crime families and increasingly insane plotlines. What’s interesting is that there’s probably an entire generation whose first image of Archie isn’t the comics at all. It’s Riverdale. For people who knew Archie before the show, did Riverdale change how you see the characters? And for people who started with Riverdale, what was it like discovering what the comics were actually like?

So it's basically the second book in the series. And it's set between Season 2 and Season 3, where Archie is having a trial going on after being framed by Hiram Lodge for a murder.

His mother Mary had been fighting his case.

Do you guys remember the Lodge's Lake house episode in S2 where the four went there for a night, and suddenly there was invasion, and someone died and Andre was there.

That's what the novel is about.

As for the show, I still have few last episodes of S2 to watch (First time watching it)

I just reached the middle of season 5 on Netflix and it says the episode isn’t available in the US. Anyone know what that’s about?

EDIT: I just turned off my tv for a bit and when I came back it worked fine 😅

idk if this is a hot take but Kevin sucksss. Like there is no character development at all and he just doesn't learn from his past mistakes and keeps causing issues.

Archie and Betty are actually pretty endgame this time around. also RIP jughead, hellloo weird half ghost- half zombie jughead
