Riverdale

The first two seasons are excellent, bringing to life a beloved franchise with intriguing storylines and a decent ensemble cast. The star of the show is undoubtedly Madelaine Petsch as the eccentric Cheryl Blossom, a charismatic, larger-than-life, some-time antagonist who is beguiling, beautiful and brainy.

From season three onwards, it becomes difficult to watch, the plot becomes deranged with characters operating with eccentric abandon well outside their individual motivation or best interests. It stretches credulity to breaking point which is a great disappointment following such a strong start.

What started as a strong teen drama with thrilling mysteries and good twists and hit season two with a good plot, by season three totally lost it's charm, it no longer has any logic or reason begind it, simply a bunch of teens walking around acting like they're adults and adults letting a bunch of kids run the town in the most ridiculous ways to the point it's no longer in connection with reality

This show started off strong. Season 1 was good, fairly believable and the show's stylistic shots were really neat. Reminded me of a modern Twin Peaks for younger adults. However, as the seasons progressed, the seasons gradually became worse up to the point I stopped watching. The show completely lost it's way and became overtop with storylines that were downright stupid. And stupid is an understatement. I'm not sure why tv shows make shows about characters that are supposed to be 15 and 16 but conduct their lives like they are 30. So a highschool student has a hand in organized crime, owns a Speak Easy, can solve murder mysteries involving cults and serial killers that police cannot, can go on the run without any respectable parent looking for them, escape prison and hide out in a bunker, expose an organ harvesting ring, lead a a biker gang and the list goes on. There were also so many moments I found myself laughing hysterically at something that was intended to be creepy or add shock value, like one of the teens keeping her dead brother's body hanging out around the house while she talks to his corpse like he is still alive but then shows up shooting bow and arrows in the forest. Completely random. Like this review, the show is a ranting mess. Maybe watch season 1 then quit while you are ahead...

I really liked the first season, the second we're okay but the third I don't even recognize the series I once used to like.

They have 1000 story lines at the same time, new things pop up all the time that makes no sense and some story lines are so unnecessarily because they just mess up the show more and in the end it didn't matter.

Also, (this isn't a "big" problem) but sometimes I think the creators forgets that the main cast is supposed to be 16 and not 20+.

I don't know why I keep watching it, probably because I've wasted so much time on this show and now it just make me laugh because it's so weird.

Season 1 was great, the actors, the script, the storyline.

Season 2- same.

Everything went downhill from there, the series got really weird with the storyline and very complicated and messy.

Season 5!! Omg the singing, I think I've skipped every single song scene. This is too much, especially episode 18. TOO MUCH SINGING it is driving me nuts. Like every 3 minutes there's a new song coming up. This is NOT A MUSICAL.

Watch only the first two seasons, and leave it alone afterwards.
