The CW network attempts to simulate mystery with depth, unfortunately it didn't work. Bad teen dramas are bad teen dramas, but, at least the kids get to practice acting — maybe with luck they’ll even get skilled at it... or be in something with talented writers. If not, they'll wind up as yesteryear's teen actors playing parents, teachers, coaches and law enforcement officers in future mediocre CW teen dramas like the token adults in "Riverdale".

If you've come to the comment section to figure out if you want to start watching this show, one tip. JUST DON'T! What I can tell you, after I've watched season 1, 2 and up to episode 20 in season 3. It gets worse. The sad part is, it had potential. I remember I enjoyed the first season. It was decent, it wasn't amazing, but it was good. Second season, it went downhill. Third season, when you think it can't get any worse, oh it does. If there was a way to give this show less than 1/10, I would. The plot has become awful, the writing gets worse, you do not recognize the actors anymore.. And from someone who was a huge fan of Archie in season 1, I honestly want to punch his face in season 3. If you wanna save yourself time, despair, please don't watch this. Your life will be so much better spent doing something else. How this got renewed for a season 4, I have no freaking clue. I wish this was canceled. Oh how I wish they would just cancel this show right now. I am actually torturing myself watching this season. And once it's over, I can finally rest and put this behind me. I can't see how they possibly can make a season worse than season 3, but I am sure somehow, they can do it. Update after season 3: Wow it sucks. With a flash forward at the end of the last episode, I honestly can't see this show redeeming itself. So sayonara Riverdale. Will not return to watch season 4.

This show became repetitive and boring. The gargoyle plot is so bad. And don't get me started on the Farm... Won't be looking for season 4.

Damn that gargoyle stupid plot!!! It ruined the show drastically!!!

Oh, Riverdale, why can't I quit you? Every time I think I'm going to just give up on this crazy-ass show, I just get sucked right back in. Nothing makes sense, people do whatever they want without the correct schooling or accreditation, everyone sleeps with each other, and someone is breaking out in song and/or dance every few episodes, but damn it, I keep watching. Why do I torture myself so?
