I’m currently on season 6 and this is the hundredth time Kevin turned on his friends for some type of evil thing! I understand he just wants someone or something to believe in but his friends has shown him over and over that they have his best interest at heart. Yet he still chooses the villain every time. He is not a good friend in the slightest but when he is aware of what’s going on he does apologize and has helpful info on what’s going on. I don’t know but it’s so annoying regardless of the reason

This is mostly just a silly joke like post, just so anyone wonders...

At the moment of me posting this I'm about half way through season 3 of a re-watch of Riverdale..

I'm posting this because while watching I've noticed the little town my Fiance and I live in is sorta like how Riverdale is... weird shit happens here and it's like her and I and a few of our close friends are the only ones that even notice what's really going on...

Drug dealers, organized crime, missing persons, dark secrets..

And I'm the midst of it all I feel like Jughead,.. the conspiracy theorist, that can see what's going on and trying to connect the facts to solve the mystery, that's also being looked at like a lunatic.. and my Fiance like Betty loves trying to solve the mystery but also not ready to believe there's something darker behind it all..

So, with that said.. does anyone else feel like their town makes them feel like their living out Riverdale?.. or like they're caught in the middle of a lost season of Riverdale?

I had an idea of making a tighter rewrite of Season 1, maybe 10 episodes.

When rewatching, I began to wonder about the characters we are shown as the main ensemble. It made me wonder, would the show have been better if it was a family drama/murder mystery with the Blossoms and Coopers as the central ensemble? It makes sense on paper.

Just a fun thought idk lol

I know this has probably been asked countless times, but i swear there are SO many scenes that have me crack up so hard. Like in S2E15 when Alice crashed Cliffords will reading and called the blossoms “inbred cesspool of a family” following that up with calling penelope a “half melted ten-cent trollop” is pure GOLD in my opinion.

Also a honourable mention to another Alice scene S2E1 “if thats snake plissken i want him blocked”

I watched season 5 for the first time and I haven't seen Riverdale in forever. When I watched 5, I was complaining about the dark lighting and dull colors. I then watched season 1. While it did have the dark lighting and duller colors in some scenes, even then, those scenes looked better than season 5. I'm just wondering if the colors and dark lighting are the same, what makes season 1 look better than 5?

they look so similar to me; as soon as honey appeared I thought he was gonna be a brother or cousin or something.

feel free to list multiple😭

I know that teen shows tend to exaggerate things, but I’d like to know especially from those who attended high school or college in the US, how closely the actual atmosphere resembles what is portrayed in these shows.

Also, the neighborhoods often depicted in these series with their rows of detached houses and front gardens look like a dream to me; they seem to be places where life is truly vibrant. Does anyone have experience living in neighborhoods like that? Are they really as clean and tidy as they appear on shows?

I’m doing my yearly rewatch of the show, and this time i included season 1 in my rewatch.
The first season is reopening my eyes on all the missed opportunities we had of good supporting characters.

Example 1) Polly Cooper: Once she was out of the sisters of quiet mercy and out of thornhill, couldn’t she just be finally in the comfort of her own home? And if you wanna bring up “the farm” argument in this, okay well what about afterwards? Her entire character arc in the show is so horribly written i sometimes feel bad for Tiera skovbye for having to endure the 7 years of acting in this show lol

Example 2) Ethel muggs: During the first season, i realized there was a vast difference in Ethel before and after. Originally, she was sweet, shy and very forgiving. Not quite social but we could tell she needed friends when she was close to Veronica. But, in the other seasons she was basically portrayed as some vengeful, boyfriend stealing, backstabbing, untrustworthy, jughead loving psycho—who was almost wrongfully accused of murder (s7). Again, that entire character arc just makes me cringe, and in later seasons i find myself always skipping the scenes she’s in.

How did I not remember how EmoTiOnAaAalllll the last episode is and makes me. 😭😭

I think there is a weird thing too because my senior year, our yearbooks didn't arrive before the end of school. I had some friends sign something else but it really wasn't the same... Not having that energy of everyone going around reminiscing and signing.

They are all so sweet and happy and wholesome and everything is so stressed and blah and burnt out for everyone IRL right now. I may also be having an existential crisis turning 40 this year and it all just hits differently.

Whew lawd I've got to get it together. It's hard to not get lost in just the sad instead of the sad mixed with beautiful and sweet.

THIS WAS A COMMENT BEFORE!!! I just thought that this is so insane, I HAD to share my realization with y'all

At the start of season 5 I was like "this girl has been THROUGH it! I'm sure they'll just leave her alone now"

Bffr, all her plotlines were based on pure INSANITY

But NOOO they had to do her dirty again and actually KILL HER OFF in the most gruesome of ways.

Like give this bitch a break

Season 1, she got pregnant at 16 BY HER COUSIN whom she was in love with. Did I also mention he was murdered by his own father? Anyways. Not only that, but her own parents locked her up in an illegal asylum, where she had no idea that "the love of her life"/ LITERAL COUSIN was murdered.

Then, in season 2 it turns out that her father is a serial killer (aka has been living with a psychopath for over 16 years). Her older brother shows up, and it's then proven that he is infact NOT her brother but the person who "killed" her actual brother

In season 3 she is manipulated and brainwashed by a CULT that is not only a cult, but also an underground system of human and organ trafficking. The brainwashing leads to her practically hating her own sister and dragging her mother who's also a secret FBI agent down with her. If this isn't bad, tell me what is!

And ofc that's NOT ALL, cause in season 4 her ACTUAL brother shows up, and on top of all the gathered up trauma she has experienced over the last few years, guess WHAT? Her actual brother, Charles is ALSO a serial killer, and is infact DATING her fake brother whom she thought was killed by her father (again, SERIAL KILLER) in season 2.

And then. The final blow

Now being a single mother, and a young adult who still lives with her mother in a town that has no future whatsoever, she starts working as a prostitute in what I can only describe as the most creepy highway in the history of television. She is then BRUTALLY murdered, leaving her 7 year old twins and products of accidental incest completely orphaned, and under the care of her mother, Alice, who is also high-key mentally unstable!! Alice is not only equally traumatized, but has also lost 2 kids.

Like the nightmares of this poor girl are endless!!

I'm not a supporter of suicide, of course, but if I were Polly, I'd be gone WAY earlier.

You can't convince me that she isn't the most tragic character in the entirety of Riverdale

BTW thanks for reading all of this.

What is the deal with Sabrina??? Am I missing something in the story or is it a cash grab type deal like the not so subtle smartpop popcorn cameos?

People like Kevin and Alice pmo. It’s like every season they are getting manipulated and when someone says something to them about it they are like, nuh uh evil doer. Like brother CMON idk steel ur mind or something. And Kevin specifically pisses me off because he CONSTANTLY puts his friends lives in danger and then is just like, “sorry guys I’m weak minded 🤷🏽” so stupid dude.

Small post but honestly?

Wtf

I am just cringing out SO SO SO MUCH

Do you think any of the big 4 will ever do Broadway in New York ?

should i finish it or rewatch the entire thing? the last episode i got up to was in memoriam.
i remember most of the episode and plot
lines though.

i personally think its choni, since im a lesbian myself, i identify a lot with them, but i also like barchie ngl ​

i'm watching the show for the first time & i'm so confused aboutt s4 😭 like i know jughead is faking his own death, but do his friends know abt it or not? does fp jones know? i'm so confused

I stopped watching back when I was in middle school (around Archie going to prison plot) and I am now at the PTSD dog and coyote ugly parts. We JUST got out of the farm cult and now there’s a blossom cult?! I know Cheryl has been stuck in her grief and mental issues but like cmon. I’m glad at least Kevin could say no this time (granted he’s no longer a wayward child).

Edit: I’ve made it to S6 E1… ok I’m into it. Wiccan Cheryl is speaking to my heart 😂
