It's just dumb. May include spoilers, you have been warned.
First of all, the kids at the start of the show are meant to be FIFTEEN. Now I don't remember season 1 that well but lemme tell you this: I, myself am 15 years old and in no way do these characters represent 15 year olds well. WE DO NOT ACT LIKE THAT.
Secondly, why do these teenagers speak as if they're delivering an English language essay EVERY TIME. It's a tad cringey if you ask me.
Thirdly, a lot of the scenes and plots are unnecessary. Why did Archie need to get attacked by a bear? Like what? First it was a teen-drama then it suddenly became a national geographic documentary? Then he proceeded to bleed out and "kill of his demons" like man, that's so cringe. Can't find another word to describe this show
Fourthly, Camilla Mendes' acting o_o. She seems like a lovely lady, but some of the scenes when her character was crying, it looked like she was laughing and REALLY had to force those tears out.
Fifthly, Jughead's stupid "i'M wEiRd, i'M a WeiRdO" nobody cares.
Sixthly, that scene where the midnight club reunited and they all called their kids to make sure they locked the doors and stuff; WHY DID EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAVE TO BE BLOODY HAVING SEX. WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OF THAT?!
There's so much more that I want to say but I forgot
Oh, and stop trying to make musicals happen. A lot of the actors can't sing that well, leave it.
But the actors themselves seen like nice people, no hate towards them. The show just has a rubbish storyline.
