Why did the Riverdale TV Show become so weird?

Why indeed. It actually started out quite well. Teen killed, solve murder, the nuances of being a teen and of course the relationship between one another. Then it started to enter into the serial killer Black Hood, Cheryl life became an entire fantasy that even in fiction it seemed outlandish to believe in, Archie was like a trouble magnet, and the names… Jellybean. Who names their daughter Jellybean?!

It's like setting the kid up, to be made into a laughing stock her entire life. Especially because of the slang that Jellybean meant in the past.

It went into cults. Drug dealing groups that seemed out of a children's story book. Even the drugs had sketchy names. – Can I interest you in some Jingle Jangle? – What the Hell is that? – Oh, this… This will take you to places you've never been. Awaken you inner Buddha, Bob Marley, Jesus, and reach for the sky beyond the Moon and the stars. – Ahhh… No thanks. – You sure? – With a name Jingle Jangle I'm more than sure. The writing team was clearly on something, and it wasn't caffeine overdose, seeing the Goblin King was laughable to say the least. Let alone take it seriously. Riverdale after a certain point it became kinda like an episode of the Twilight Zone, that just never ended.

I believe it was there that I completely dropped the show.

But I've heard other people talk about it. About how at a certain point they got superpowers, and even had kryptonite like weaknesses. About moving between parallel universes, time traveling, magic, and all sorts of crazy things.

Even listening someone talk about the show, seemed more like I was hearing someone talking about their high experience.

I do believe it has finally ended. And having heard what I heard, and seen some of trailers of the seasons just to see if they had gone so far out of their minds; I can safely say I've no intention of catching up where I left it.

Some shows just lose their way, I guess. Usually not this bad, but I guess Riverdale wanted to be the exception.

I know some people liked it and I'm completely fine with that. It just isn't my thing. I don't mind weird… And I've seen from beginning to end some pretty weird shows. Like American Horror Story or Sleepy Hollow, that also got crazier the more they went on.

But Riverdale… It wasn't that it was just weird, it just felt completely unreal even for something fictional. It was like trying to invest on a show that could completely change at any moment, with almost no notice. And the stories… I had to dial up suspension of disbelief to over 100%, just to not turn off each episode. And with better shows as an option, why waste time on something that took so much effort to watch.

Riverdale started off relatively interesting. A murder mystery of a teen boy. Cool. Season 3, uh. A tall tree in a mask killing people? A cult? A dungeons & dragons game? & most importantly, cringey lines that Cheryl, Jughead, Betty, Josie & Veronica deliver.

Honestly, I liked riverdale. Now? I like making fun of the disney channel like acting & over the top plots. Hopefully the writers can actually pick up on this and stop using crack when they write scripts. There is no real answer I’m afraid. I think it’s just the writers being on crack, the actors not having any experience & the overtop Bughead (Betty x Jughead) fans. Bughead is annoying, Choni, I don’t want to hate on Choni because I know everyone’s just going to say I’m being homophobic, so. The only point in watching Riverdale? Is so Barchie (Betty x Archie) get together.
