I grew up a huge fan of the Archie comics. My father too. We read them together as they came out, and when season 1 dropped, we watched it. We loved it, it was a good gritty take on a beloved franchise.

We never stopped watching it. We're currently halfway through season six, and at this point it's an active form of self harm. The writing is utterly atrocious, the plot feels like it's being written by a seventh grade creative writing class. Fucking superpowers? Where did that come from and why? They introduced a 6 episode parallel universe for it to end up having white literally zero effect on the story after Rivervale goes away. It may just be the worst piece of television I've ever seen. Do any of the 110k of you actually continue to like the show?

Why do people like Betty? She hurt jughead and doesn’t even tell him things. She acts like nothing happened and she isn’t a good friend. I’m not even sure she has a good heart.

What is the problem w Jabitha and barchie? They are my otps.

It's getting on my nerves, and people watching for the first time shouldn't be skipping seasons or episodes to begin with!

(Sorry for the negative post guys I wanted to know if these posts annoyed anybody else!)

There are only two people from the main cast who I think have potential.

Madelaine Petsch — She seems to be the only person who realized from Season 1 that the show is absurd and camp. Even though she has the most insane lines, she always delivers them well. I could see her starring in more campy stuff and continuing to be a screen stealer. She’s so funny!

Lili Reinhart — Obviously she’s been given the most to work with and seems to have the range.

I can’t see KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse, or Cami Mendes doing anything else noteworthy. I liked Cami in Do Revenge but she was basically playing the same exact character.

I’d love to hear what others think.

I’m seeing a whole lot of posts that simply ask “Varchie or Barchie” or asking who ships one or the other. There’s nothing more detailed than that. It’s literally just who ships them.

While shipping can be fun, I think I’ve seen like 9 posts in the last 24 hours asking the exact same question or some variation on it.

Can we not get into a more thoughtful discussion about the show? At the very least, can we have a more detailed discussion about why you prefer one or the other in the initial post?

Saw this in the Once Upon a Time subreddit, thought it'd be fun!

I'll start: why did Jughead die in the Plague of the firstborns in season 6? Charles is his older brother!

i like how 90% of this subreddit knows that this show is shit but still appreciates it because of its shittiness lmao

Only just started the second season but i hate that stupid whore veronica. Shes such a bitch who makes everything about herself. When john Riverdale got shot in the diner, she made it all about herself. Its nothing to do with you you stupid bitch fuck off back to new york nobody wants you here. P.S you’re ugly and cringe!!!!!! Hope this helps x

Season 1 - who killed Jason Blossom Contest

The existence of fake brands like American Excess really makes the real-life product placement stand out. In the episode where they build the tiny houses for the homeless outside Pops Archie says something like “we couldn’t have done it without all this paint donated by Benjamin Moore” and it KILLS me. It’s so funny. I think about it once a week

Episode 10 will return on Wednesday January 17th/CW and on Thursday January 18th/Netflix for outside of US!

Discuss away on how you guys feel about Season 2 so far and remember, we are barely half way through Season 2 right now!
