Riverdale season 1 was a surprisingly good riff on Twin Peaks.

Riverdale season 2 seems to be Scream meets Watchmen.
Scratch that. Season 2 is Scream meets The Warriors
Now Riverdale season 2 is Wiseguy
Now Riverdale season 2 is a weird off-broadway production of Rent.
Aaaaaand we’re back to Riverdale season 2 is Scream again
Riverdale season 1 ultimately makes no sense in context of Riverdale season 2. I hope Riverdale season 3 will retcon and contradict Riverdale season 2 into oblivion as well.

It’s been a fun ride!
Riverdale season 2 as a whole owes a huge debt to John Carpenter. The end of the season turns into a weird hybrid of Halloween, Escape from New York, and Assault on Precinct 13
Is Riverdale season 3 the prison season?
Riverdale season 3 is the prison season. Will it be a lame Shawshank Redemption or Green Mike knock-off or can I have faith in the writers to pull off some wild exploitation movie shit?
Riverdale season 1 was Twin Peaks with Jughead in a weird Rorschach role.

Riverdale season 2 was Scream, The Warriors, Wiseguy and Escape from New York.

Riverdale season 3 is Shawshank Redemption and... Suspiria?? Midsommar??
I think Chilling Adventures of Sabrina needs to come pick up their monster of the week from Riverdale season 3
Riverdale season 3 has a Breakfast Club episode with a sweet cover of Dream Warriors by Dokken.

This show is trash, but it’s really loveable and endearing trash.
Okay, so Riverdale season 3 seems to start off as Longest Yard, Fight Club, and Shawshank Redemption, then turns into One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and A Boy and His Dog, and is now entering into literal Escape from New York/Dark Knight Rises territory
Scratch That, they lifted the quarantine between episodes.
Riverdale season 3 pulled some wild Heaven’s Gate shit now. I don’t know what to make of any of this!
After a very brief turn as The Revenant, Riverdale season 3 is now Silence of the Lambs. At this rate, the writers will run out of movies to copy
.... Kelly Ripa....
Now Riverdale season 3 is... Raging Bull?
Riverdale S3 is The Longest Yard, Fight Club, The Shawshank Redemption, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Casino, Cabernet, Burlesque, A Boy and His Dog, The Revenant, Raging Bull, Midsommar and who knows what else...

Remember when season 1 was just an homage to Twin Peaks?
There’s eight episodes to go. There’s still time to fit in more Silence of the Lambs and maybe even Hannibal while we’re at it. Could even start doing Rocky sequels with this boxing plot.
Really the entire series owes a huge debt to one thing and one thing only- General Hospital.
So in Riverdale season 1, gangs are violent, grungy, and bad. In Riverdale seasons 2 and 3, gangs are ultimately a noble thing that keep young people out of trouble and welcome everyone.
Riverdale season 3 even has the main gang become deputized and puts them to work solving crimes, helping children, and keeping the community off drugs.

This show clearly doesn't exist in any real world with actual street gangs.
Riverdale seasons 2 and 3 are the literal embodiment of that Jake and the Neverland Pirates meme that has Captain Hook telling the children that "a pirate never steals."
Considering how many people are coming after Archie this season, I wouldn't be surprised if Boba Fett made a special guest appearance to try and take the red head down for good
I just saw the "In Loving Memory of Luke Perry" sign and my heart broke. He was a bright spot on this show and is gone far too soon.
Of all the movies Riverdale season 3 knocks off, Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol was not the one that I expected to come next...
Now Riverdale is back to being a much better, less Rent-like off-broadway musical
Jugheads mom has the “tres puntos” tattoo and it kinda irritates me
You know, it just occurred to me that the towns in Riverdale and Sabrina are probably up in the Rust Belt considering how close Canada is. That would definitely explain all the poverty and violent murders
Six episodes of Riverdale season 3 to go. How many movies will they cram in?
Drug Dealers have taken over a motel. Jughead has his gang. Archie has his prison crew. Is it too much to hope for a Riverdale season 3 version of The Raid?
IT IS A RIVERDALE VERSION OF THE RAID!!!!!!!!!
You know, if the bad guys actually carried guns in this show, all of our protagonists would be seriously and royally fucked
I can't believe I just saw an Archie version of The Raid with Archie himself having a one take hallway fight like he was Daredevil
I can't wait for Riverdale to have a "Blood In, Blood Out" episode.

Do you think Jughead listens to SPM in his free time?
You know, I don’t know who this show is for. What the target audience is. My wife is super into the drama everyone has while I’m just like “HOLY SHIT! THEYRE REALLY DOING THIS!”
Chad Michael Murray- Necromancer
Chad Michael Murray’s character literally says “I came across a farm, and a single tree on a hill...”

A ONE TREE HILL...

These fuckers...
WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD BETTY KEEP A RECORDING OF JASON BLOSSOM GETTING SHOT ON HER LAPTOP????????!!!!!!!
Riverdale season 3 is now the 1973 George Romero classic The Crazies.
I think the easiest way to describe Riverdale as a whole is that it’s not so much a show as much as it is a kitchen sink
So doctors ran x-rays on Betty as a kid and determined that she’s a serial killer...

Um, what?
If Betty had MAOA, aka antisocial disorder, she wouldn’t have a healthy relationship with Jughead or long-term friendships with Archie or Kevin. She’d be a sociopath.
Riverdale season 3 is now Lord of the Flies or children of the corn or something.
......
If you asked me what Riverdale season 3 was even about, I’m not sure I could give an answer
Finally finished Riverdale season 3 and Netflix immediately recommended the Aaron Hernandez documentary like “you must enjoy murder. Try this!”
I hope this show only runs up to like season 5 because I really can’t see this continuing on and on and on.
Riverdale season 4 is finally on Netflix. It’s time to continue this thread
