For months, I've been trying to binge watch Riverdale and Sabrina.
The first season of Riverdale was great. It was a bit overdramatic but it felt more like a stylistic choice.
Season two was interesting, but felt way too long.
I'm about halfway through season 3 and I can't take it anymore. Literally the entire group of main Archie characters are in a street gang now. They act like freaking adults even though they are a bunch of 16 year olds. They run businesses, go to prison for murder, investigate crimes, get involved in politics, and apparently live in a world with 62 hours in a day, since each one has so many things going on in their life.
This shit is ridiculous. I wanted to like it, I really did.

I love how Archie Comics have kind of abandoned the modern Archie model Riverdale was based on and just gone back to the established formula. The 'edgier' stuff has always worked better in that format too due to how absurd it can be.
Garbage show.

At this point I have to believe Riverdale is a subversive piece of camp satire, gradually mocking the entire asinine nature of teen dramas by utilizing the kind of "dark" plots you'd see in really amateurish fan fiction.
I have to believe that because the alternative is that the god awful dialogue and incredibly stupid stories are both intended to be serious, and that terrifies me a little.

Riverdale is the kind of show you watch because it's horrible. It's complete garbage, but oddly compelling garbage.

Early in season 3 is where I lost interest too. Like you said, great 1st season then downhill.

I would also like to point out that the term "Mary Sue" gets thrown around a lot, sometimes too much. But Archie on Riverdale has to be the biggest Mary Sue ever. He's ridiculously good looking, has a killer body, is great at sports, is great at fighting, saves people's lives, is a complete chick magnet that can have anyone he wants, and is also a good musician. He's friends with both the popular kids and weird outcasts. He also had excellent parents.
And yet somehow he's still a broody little crybaby tortured soul.
It's like they took every type of guy a teenage girl would want and combined them all into one dude.

I don’t want to spoil it for you, but season 5 is about to get even crazier.

I should hate Riverdale,cause it is a major reason why Afterlife with Archie and CHilling Adventures of Sabrina comics have stopped dead in their tracks. But Riverdale is a perfect blending of soap opera writing and Twin Peaks. I need to watch what has aired of the newest season,but I have loved the show since the start.
But then I'm a huge Archie nut. Got close to 2 longboxes of issues. Plus piles of trades.

I never watched Riverdale, but Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has put me off. That show was complete trash.
I tapped out when the Three Weird Sisters literally tried to murder Harvey in the mines, yet Sabrina bizarrely still wanted to be friends with them. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? What terrible writing. Plus, the characters were the most unlikeable and annoying I've possibly seen on a show. And Salem didn't talk.

I don’t want to spoil it for you, but season 5 is about to get even crazier. I heard it was time jumping to them as adults. Don't worry, you aren't spoiling the show. I have legit quit it and moved on to finally watching Agent Carter and Agents of Shield all the way through. It's the only MCU stuff I haven't seen every episode of. I can totally get people liking this show in an "it's so bad it's good" way, but I don't like stuff like that. I would rather watch something I legit enjoy than watch something bad just to make fun of how bad it is. I'm going to be 40 in 3 days. I have more years behind me than ahead of me likely. I'm not going to spend them intentionally watching stuff I think sucks.

haven't even began to watch this season, and don't have much motivation to start. It's not like it got very bad in comparison to future seasons, but it feels like the show has run its course.
All American is my CW show now.
