Current Events > All caught up on Riverdale (spoilers through the latest episode)

(+) Yeah! (+)

lol wtf is this shit. Feels like nothing really changed except they're teachers and obviously Veronica's husband is working for her dad and Jughead's awkward facial hair is really bugging me.

Who was Jack?

Honestly that guy looked younger than half the actors on the show lmao.

WTF was up with Jellybean being the auteur, that was probably the dumbest plot twist of the entire series.

It's weird how they make this whole big deal out of them all graduating when the school feels like a tertiary location and part of their lives and they're all already doing adult shit anyway like running community youth centers and speak easies and brewing liquor. It was hard enough to believe that any of them were graduating in the first place. And Betty was valedictorian? lmao Jughead didn't even go to that school the whole senior year and it didn't look like he got any studying done at the private school.

And Archie doing that Green Day song holy shit so generic.

Hate how everyone turned out, too, except for like Toni. Archie "went to war" (... what war?) and Cherry Blossom is just a master artist who is selling counterfeit paintings at auctions? Why -_-

Oh man it's a wild ride.
One of the most mature "teenage dramas" of this kind (I've seen a lot >_>) but also one of the dumbest, they're constantly finding ways to make it more convoluted than it needs to be and sometimes stories just get totally neglected just to resurface two seasons later for an episode or two.

When I heard about the timeskip I thought it was dumb because the show barely had anything to do with the high school from season 2 anyway. They basically acted like adults and often had jobs.

It's literally the same status quo the show already had. Archie was gone and is traumatized. Veronica has a new partner. Betty does weird shit with the FBI. Jughead is investigating something.

I don't even watch the show anymore and that's basically what it was when I stopped.

You're not wrong.

Many shows like this either end it at graduation (maybe a little episode or two to show where they wind up afterwards) or pick up with the characters in college and growing apart and stuff.

Here they skipped all that and went to... them just being together again lol
