The hate for this show is so stupid how do i know? well i used to hate on riverdale a lot just because a lot of people say it was terrible but i never watched it so over corona break i binged watched it and this show is really dumb but i also think that’s the point people keep missing. This show isn’t made to be realistic at all if you were to judge this show seriously there’s a hundreds of problems with it but that’s why critics rate it so high because they judge it for what’s its trying to be not what you want it to be. When i was watching it i told myself this kinda feels like a comic book and when i searched it up it i found out it was based off a light hearted comic book series and it makes perfect sense now. I’ve had a blast watching this show with over the top characters and just fun and exciting things. Many people call this show cringe and i don’t really know. Like some lines are badly delivered but it’s not really cringey it feels like chunky comic book dialogue and if you’ve watched scenes on youtube without context you’ll thinks it’s cringe it’s just how it works because it happened with me until i actually watched the show. Season 1 is everyone’s favorite because they act more like modern teenagers and then by season 3 they act like early 2000’s teenagers and that’s were people got lost because they think the shows trying to depict how teenagers really act and it’s not. If you just wanna sit down and have fun with crazy twist and loveable, hot characters this is the show for you people are way too hard on this show for no reason when its just so innocent and fun and not trying to appeal to be realistic or be judged seriously. The musical episodes are a bit dreadful though lol.
