Riverdale 2017

The CW network attempts to simulate mystery with depth, unfortunately it didn't work. Bad teen dramas are bad teen dramas, but, at least the kids get to practice acting — maybe with luck they’ll even get skilled at it... or be in something with talented writers. If not, they'll wind up as yesteryear's teen actors playing parents, teachers, coaches and law enforcement officers in future mediocre CW teen dramas like the token adults in "Riverdale".

It's a new show so I'm not understanding everyone's comments on a show that hasn't even started yet

loading replies

Damn that gargoyle stupid plot!!! It ruined the show drastically!!!

loading replies

Oh, Riverdale, why can't I quit you? Every time I think I'm going to just give up on this crazy-ass show, I just get sucked right back in. Nothing makes sense, people do whatever they want without the correct schooling or accreditation, everyone sleeps with each other, and someone is breaking out in song and/or dance every few episodes, but damn it, I keep watching. Why do I torture myself so?

This show has gotten so boring and just keeps getting worse the more u watch. Dont even know why I watched as much as I did :thumbsdown:

First Season was good

After that its straight garbage!!!!!

loading replies

Probably the most cringey dialogue of any show. This one was actually to the point where I had to stop watching. However, I was really entertained by the first several seasons. I think if they just toned down this show by a couple of notches, I would have continued to watch. But once the plot started to weaken, I couldn’t take all the cringe ass scenes and random song breakouts.

Season 3 is fucking boring

loading replies

Overall the show is badly written, and a disappointment. The pop culture references on this show come off as pretentious and not organic or ironic. Either go dark and creepy or keep it lighthearted with a level of camp; this in-between comes off sloppy AND, let's face it, this ain't Twin Peaks, not even remotely despite desperately trying to be...

loading replies

I've just tested out this new series and, so far, it's a little bit Archie, a little bit Twin Peaks (the original) and a little bit Veronica Mars and a whole lot CW. Now, I loved Veronica Mars, so it doesn't meet that standard, and Twin Peaks went way beyond the hints of dark in Riverdale, but, it doesn't seem to have very much of anything in common with the Archie of comic book fame except the character names and the "Who will get Archie>" premise (except it pretty clear Archie is easy to get). And wasn't Archie about the idealized golden years of High School and good friends and budding romance, instead of dark murder mystery, felony rape and dysfunctional parenting? However, it is pure CW fare, and if that is your go-to channel, you'll like this. I'm giving it a preliminary 6 (fair) out of 10, but I'll watch a few more episodes to give the series a chance to percolate. One personal note: couldn't they find a single true Ginger with the acting chops to play this Archie?

This series is such a dumpster fire.
I love it.

The first season is tolerable because there was a decent short plot but god the second and third were awful. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Unless u wanna watch it to make fun of it which I’m currently doing. The shows has awful writing and the characters are so stereotypical and have no layers in all the seasons, but after season 1 the writers only wanted to make a shit tone of episodes and keep the plot going so u could easily tell they never know what’s happening and there are countless plot holes and basically no storyline.

This is not the Archie we all remember

loading replies

It's a regular CW drama, however:
(1) The aesthetics are AMAZING, it's really pretty. Prettier than most shows out there. The photography, the wardrobe and scenary and all of it. 10/10 aesthetics.
(2) The characters are appealing and captivating.
(3) The show has a great tone on some subjects like feminism and homophobia, etc.
(4) It's fairly well developed - it seems a little silly at the beggining but it gets better and better.
(5) I liked it 'cause it's entertaining and I'm hooked.

No one realized yet that when they were all in relationship with each other meant that Archie had sex with Jug?

I finished the final episode today of the season finale. What a ride this has been. I enjoyed the first few seasons more, to be honest. I grew up with this show, so many years have gone by. What a ride it has been. Goodbye, Riverdale.

loading replies

at least it's funny

I thought this show was over and done and then it comes out with an episode 7 for season 6?! At this point they're just beating a dead dog

loading replies

Season 5 is a COMPLETE disaster.

loading replies

it getting worse every episode 1st season was the best. i wonder what's next

loading replies

Overall Riverdale starts surprisingly strong (with flaws) but it gradually becomes very bad (with not much to save it).

S01 Pretty good all-around, engaging mystery and characters.
S02 Characters are mostly still good, main mystery is a bit cheesier but still fun and overall makes sense.
S03 Characters don't make that much sense anymore, plot goes WILDLY CHEESY (which can be fun), ending is meh.
S04 (I stopped at E06) Rehash of previous plotlines plus added nonsense, characters don't act the way you expect - only good part is Jughead and his story.

like watching a lot of hot people in the same car crash

loading replies

Damn that lame gargoyle plot!!!

loading replies

I figured I would give this a chance. Over all its a good story that makes you wanting to know who did it, but the sub-plot stories are kind of dumb. I have not finished the series yet and hope they add up to the final main plot. As for the characters its a CW show so everyone is good looking. There will be characters you love and ones you hate. Over all I found most of the main characters dumb in the actions they would do.

loading replies

This show became repetitive and boring. The gargoyle plot is so bad. And don't get me started on the Farm...

Won't be looking for season 4.

loading replies

Cheesy script, predictable plot lines, and bad acting. I had some hope for this but first season is proving it to be another generic CW show filled with eye candy that will be canceled soon enough.

The great "Archie" getting a live-action adaptation?!?! THERE IS A GOD!!! If it is anything like the new Archie comic reboot (which is fantastic and a must-read), then I will be hooked. All I know is that one can never have enough Betty and Veronica, that's for sure... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

EDIT: Well, after watching the first episode of Riverdale, I don't quite know what to think of it all yet. Riverdale seems to be more heavily influenced by the CW's style turning this into more of a darker mystery driven show than I had been anticipating. We'll see how everything shakes out as the first episode already had its hands full just introducing the myriad of characters here. I really liked what was done in the recent Archie comic reboot but perhaps this mystery-story based approach is better suited for TV vs the lighter affair of the comics.

Also, we need more Jughead!!

What the hell is going on? It's been 13 episodes of season 5 and I haven't seen a single sane storyline yet.

can they just stop making this ?

loading replies

probably one of the most ABSURD tv shows of all times, with pathetic and meaningless stories. it's not even good as a teenage series. and i'd better not say anything about the musical episodes. a shame.

loading replies

I’m actually embarrassed to say I watch this. It’s something I put on when I’m really tired, so it doesn’t matter if I miss anything.

It’s a teen drama I suppose, so probably asking too much

It wouldn’t be as bad if the had different people playing Archie and his girlfriend Veronica. Archie’s badly dyed red hair, matches his bad acting. And Veronica is just so annoying.

Light entertainment, cheesy, nothing to take seriously.

I’m shocked it on Season 4! There’s been so many phenomenal shows cancelled after one season. It makes absolutely no sense.

Ah well, it’s something to keep me entertained when I’m absolutely exhausted.

First 3 seasons was amazing, loved that show, 4th and 5th was good , but 6th season is just confusing and wrong_- they have superpowers now!!!!!

loading replies

I think this is easily the worst show I've ever seen. It's so frustratingly disappointing! The first few seasons were so god, the amount of teen drama wasn't unreal, obviously there was some, but it was acceptable. Eventually the show just shifted direction entirely, and became some mad sci-fi/mystery bullshit. The worst part isn't that it shifted direction even, the fact that it also added so many cringe elements, and it was done is such a terrible way, it's a damn shame. I honestly don't know what the producers of this show thought when they went this way.

loading replies

The first season is ok. Then the show becomes some of the best bad TV I've seen. It's so dumb and whacky, each week I can't wait to see what random bullshit the writers came up with this time.

loading replies

When is this show going to end? I keep watching cause I started it but it's bad...

loading replies

I stopped watching this crap at s03e09. Up to that point I don't think there was a single episode where Archie was not shirtless.

loading replies

Good series, but they spend too much time with the topic G&G. Season 4 is much better again.

loading replies

Simply my guilty pleasure. I can't explain my attachment to it.

loading replies

I really liked the story told in the first season and now the second season keeps me interested as well. I think both stories are written really well. The only problem I have with this series is that it feels sooo American. I often feel that the characters are looking a bit too perfect (so that is must be fake). If they just had neutralized the characters with less make-up and more 'common', I would love the series even more. In the beginning, it was hard for me to continue watching because of this Americanisation, but I'm happy I did because the story actually is great.

loading replies

To be brutally honest, Riverdale's concept is so CW, and I hate that they used Archie characters. The plot is interesting and all that, but this made my view on the characters turn 360. Riverdale q***rbaiting us with Betty and Veronica is pointless. Instead, they should just make Beronica canon. Also, stop it with the Grundy/Archie storyline. I know the third episode has just been released as I write this comment, but seriously, what the hell?

There is no resemblance of riverdale in this show except for the names of the characters and town etc.

:heart:x5
This show started OK and was kind of interesting - It was nothing like the Archie Comics we all know and love, but this was a more adult version of the characters.
The first 3 or so seasons were acceptable but then it started going downhill. Storylines just kept getting more and more bizarre. Season 6 was absolutely horrible and I refuse to watch Season 7 as it is just a continuation of Season 6. I even downgraded my rating on this show because of this.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

loading replies

I’m so glad I’ve finally finished this show - I’ve been stuck here watching it for 6 looooong years!! It was great to begin with but then lost itself somewhere along the way and turned into a mess in which I had no clue what was happening, they should’ve ended it sooner tbh

After weeks of unwillingness to watch the remaining episodes of season 6, I finally finished it tonight and all I can say is: What the actual fuck?!! How did you manage to sabotage a perfectly show like this, CW? Nothing makes sense, even in a supernatural perspective. God I hated it.

loading replies

This would be so much better without the cheesy musicals and the PG-Rated forced sexy remarks...

loading replies

While the show overall is absolutely terrible (season 1 was alright tho) and I wouldn't recommend it (unless you're the kind of person who watches bad movies on purpose, then you'll love it, it's the reason everyone who could stomach it is still watching, the scenarists eventually embraced the show being stupidly bad and are going wild with it trying to figure out what it takes for people to stop watching which ironically made the show funnier to watch), the actors impressed me a lot.
The entire cast can say all those ridiculous lines and do well in the numerous very, very cringy musical moments while keeping a straight face and appearing serious. It's truly incredible, props to them. I don't think any other acting performance has ever impressed me this much and while I might be a little hyperbolic, I am being 100% unironic.
Unfortunate for Cole that his comeback into acting ended up with him being a prisoner of this show for so long along with the rest of the cast, I hope it doesn't leave too sour a taste in his mouth and that it doesn't affect the cast's acting careers going forward.

loading replies

Season 6 is the most fun I had with this show in a while. Embracing the supernatural elements and campiness made Riverdale so entertaining that I don't even care about weaker plot elements which are still present but overall this season was better than the previous one.

Love this show! I lovelovelove the modern and vintage mixed together especially the cars! everything is old school but they have internet laptops and cellphones. there are classic land lines old school tvs classic fashion the most amazing classic cars except for very few exceptions like the Lincoln Limos (but those are classics in their own right) it's brilliant! all that yet it's set in present day. it's mind bending in a wonderful way. love the darkness too I was surprised at first. I also like how everything flows naturally representing everyone without it being forced or over the top as it should be in the real world.

started strong then declined from season 2

loading replies

When you start watching Riverdale it is still 'just' a murder mystery but as soon as you hit season 2 things shift and by the time you are up to speed with the current episodes you will be wondering why the hell you're still watching but the thing is... you can't stop. Never have I seen a show that comes close to the ridiculousness that is Riverdale. There are twists and turns that make zero sense in stories written as if the writers are always high as a kite. I'm pretty sure I don't even really like any of the characters but the cast seems genuinely fun and I'm too invested to stop.
If there is one positive thing to be said about Riverdale is that it never gets boring. You simply can't predict what comes next. This show seems to follow a different set of rules when it comes to writing and its curse is that once you start, you just can't stop.

What I love about this show is the development of the Characters and the actors. I don't like the musical parts because it seems like filler, but any show has some flaws. The story flattened a lot in S3 and S4... I don't know now what they are going to plan.

loading replies

honestly I have to say don't even read the mean rude nasty comments just focus on the positive ones,also if i may make on suggestion it would be that later in season 4 or early season 5 bitty and jug head have a nice night out then the next 2 days Betty gets morning sickness and tells veronica then V makes Betty take a pregnancy test and it turns out positive and she waits until her mom accidentally blabs about it to Betty at Pop's and doesn't realize jug head,Archie,and V are all standing right there......i think it would be interesting please look at this comment and maybe consider it unless you have something else planned then i get it but great job on the show over all.

This series is just phenomenal. Some says it's a bit predictable and doesn't have enough depth to its storylines but watching it for myself I can definitely say that it is none of those things. The characters are complex and delivered perfectly well by the actors. It incorporates a lot of genres in such a seamless way that you can't help but be enthralled with the story. I love the chemistry of the characters. Platonic and romantic relationships within the story makes it all the more realistic and relatable for the viewing audiences. I finished seasons 1 and 2 and lost a huge amount of sleep. And now I am obsessing over the coming of the next season. Can't wait for season 3!

loading replies

The little I’ve seen of the second season feels a little bit off-the-rails, but the first season was delectable. I love the dark take on the Archie-verse and I also love seeing heartthrobs from the 80′s as the grown-ups. I also just love a good teen drama.

Riverdale is giving me a feel of Once Upon a Time. The same characters you're familiar with but a completely different back story. Archie is a wannabe musician, Jughead's an aspiring writer, Veronica is penniless, Dilton is a boy scout and Weatherbee feels intelligent and strict rather than the jovial kind. Betty and Pop still feel the same. Overall, this one is much darker than the comics.
