I have never watched Riverdale, but I have watched two seasons of the Sabrina spin-off and it was mid to ok, for a teen show.

I remember Riverdale was huge among the girls in my middle school during 2017-2018, but when we reached high school they pretended that never happened.

Wow, fascinating. This summary was certainly a public service. I watched the first two seasons, but stopped about midway through the third

I’ve talked to a lot of people the last few months who started watching it. None of them got further than season three.

I didn’t either

The only episode I saw (on a flight), was this grounded serious episode where the guy's dad dies in a car crash and they spend the episode coping with grief about it. Hearing that the rest of the show has warlocks and superpowers and sex scenes and shit is wild.

Thank you for your service 🫡

I was morbidly curious about where it would go towards the end but i couldn’t force myself to watch it after season 4

You may be the first person I’ve ever heard from who even watched past season 3.

Man, have some sense of humour. Riverdale was bad - but at times so bad it was good. And I think you need to get on with the show’s insane universe to understand that. My favourite were actually seasons 5-6 because that’s when Riverdale truly took off from this plane of existence into a completely unhinged world (or multiple) of time travel, superpowers and literal magic. It was amazing.

This was such a boring review of one of the most unhinged teen shows and probably the last of its kind.

Can’t wait til you cover the episode where they crucify Archie!!

(In all seriousness I have some personal theories about why Riverdale is the way it is and I’m excited to hear your takes!)
