    This is probably one of the worst shows ive ever watched. The writing is horrendously cringy and bad, while the acting is simply trash. The characters are 16 years old teenagers who solve crimes, lead gangs, run businesses and crap. The plot makes no sense whatsoever, and a scene where a woman is tortured by being tainted with honey proves it. Terrible and incoherent plot twists and aThis is probably one of the worst shows ive ever watched. The writing is horrendously cringy and bad, while the acting is simply trash. The characters are 16 years old teenagers who solve crimes, lead gangs, run businesses and crap. The plot makes no sense whatsoever, and a scene where a woman is tortured by being tainted with honey proves it. Terrible and incoherent plot twists and a bipolar character who is not only stupid, but annoying. He has been a quarterback, a musician, a boxer, a convict, a fugitive, a gang-member, the assistant of a mobster and the leader of three dumb organizations named: The Red Circle, The Black Circle and The Dark Circle. And dont make me start with Veronica or Chreyl.
    All seasons are bad, although while the first one is somehow enjoyable, the second one is overwelmmingly terrible and the third one is the worst thing ive ever seen on tv.    … Expand

    "A dark and twisted atmosphere!"
    "Similar to Twin Peaks!"

    That were some of the things I've read before I've started watching this show. Are they true? NOT AT ALL! This is high school drama for teens with terrible acting and very, very bad dialogues. Comparing this disaster with Twin Peaks should be a crime. Don't wast your time if you are more than 15 years older.

    This show is awful. It is more like a more gender balanced Pretty Little Liars or Gossip Girl than Archie. I hope nothing good happens to whoever came up with this crime against humanity.

    The actors are absolutely atrocious(partially not their fault though). The writing is completely horrible, but Betty's mom is pretty hot! I feel bad for the young actors here. Way to ruin a career before it's even begun--thanks to the writers and producers! Geeze

GREAT JOB WITH WRITING THIS SHOW. It has a good reputation of friendships, healthy relationships, (bughead, varchie) also a good representation of how mental health can take the wrong road if not dealt with. The storyline is itself very interesting and exiting. I hope this show gets more than 10 seasons, I'd still watch every singe episode 100 times. Have rewatched season 1 and 2 more than 10 times. The cast's acting is amazing and so is the cast themselves. In one word this show IS MY LIFE. It helped me through depression IT DESERVES ALL THE LOVE. I wanna personally fight all the critics and users that left a bad review. Go get a life.… Expand

    could have been a great show but again netflix/hollywood doesn't stay true to the original and peppers it with the post-modern themes of miscegenation, homosexuality, and numinous negroes. It's getting really tiresome. America is choking on this stuff. It's everywhere now and everybody is beginning to figure out that it's all a lie. Doesn't lead to anything good.

    Yeah it's a good story, but the super terrible cast ruined them all, can't get away from my cringy feeling whenever I watch Lili Reinhart and KJ Apa on the screen, Cole Sprouse was good, though.

    Full of fast-paced banter and pop culture lines, Riverdale starts this road trip as a fine ride.

    The joys and subversions of artistry have fallen away, and brand management--combining the appearance of sex and self-awareness, but none of the real thing--is a poor substitute. But if, like Riverdale, you hit all the notes, it can be hard to tell the difference.

    A dark (can I say "dark" enough here?) teen soap more in the vein of "Pretty Little Liars" than a comic book come to life.
