There is a lot to like about Riverdale, but it may not be right for the most loyal fans of the Archie comics. There are major changes here as Archie is updated to current American culture. Still, the core relationships ring true. The cast is outstanding with some familiar faces among the parents. The central focus of season 1 is a murder mystery. Although somewhat unexpected for Archie and the gang, the story effectively introduces the characters and relationships while establishing a Riverdale universe that will serve the series well for many seasons to come if renewal beyond season 2 occurs. So sit back and enjoy high school life with twists and turns in a town called Riverdale that provides a mysterious and provocative setting.

With every season it's getting worse and worse.

**Music** good, not bad as far as music goes. but story omg 1st season was good. 2nd was ok. 3rd was so bad can't even dare to watch the 4th. Half the time story made no sense. Sometimes it feels like they shot this scene as a filler. Very disappointing story.


Picking up where season five ended, with Archie and Betty decide to give their romantic relationship another shot, just as a bomb planted by Hiram Lodge under Archie's bed was about to go off. Strangely, that bomb seemingly doesn't explode, and when Archie and Betty wake up the next morning, they're living in the town of Rivervale, their lives in Riverdale but a distant dream. It's hard to believe, but things in Rivervale are much darker and creepier than in Riverdale.

Picking up where season 6 ended, season 7 finds Jughead Jones trapped in the 1950s. He has no idea how he got there, nor how to get back to the present. His friends are no help, as they are living seemingly authentic lives, similar to their classic Archie Comics counterparts, unaware that they’ve ever been anywhere but the 1950's. Will Jughead and the gang be able to return to the present? Or will our characters be trapped in the 1950’s forever? And, if so…is that such a bad thing?
