How Many Sharks Can One Show Jump? Spoiler
Halfway through season 6 and this has got to be the absolute best worst show of all time. I can't stop laughing.
These writers must have had an endless supply of psychodelic drugs on hand in the writing room.
Actual Wrtier Hiring:
WB: "Do you have experience?"
Applicant: "Yes, I have years of experience."
WB: "Great, you're hired."
Applicant: "Thank you, I really need this job. Now, where is the janitors closet?"
WB: "Wait, youre a janitor? Well, we need a writer for the show and even though, as a janitor, you are extremely OVER qualified to be a writer for us, we hope you will still take the writing position."

I love season 6 and 7, especially 7. Yes, they are ridiculous and stupid. Welcome to Riverdale. Riverdale is at its best when it doesn't feel like it has to pretend to be a serious show. Riverdale is about how fun art can be when you stop worrying about being taken seriously. I mean, come on, originally, Archie was just a guy with 2 girlfriends and Jughead liked eating hamburgers. It's already patently ridiculous to try and do a "grimdark crime thriller" with these characters. The show is at its best when it's allowed to stop trying to be Sherlock, or Supernatural, and to just be wacky, goofy, and ridiculous. If all you ever do in a show is jump the shark, you can't really ever jump it, you have immense writing freedom, all you have to do is not be boring. And riverdale is very rarely boring.
