Riverdale has kind of taken over the world, but it seems like as the seasons go on, people seem to hate it more and more. With a cute cast based off some well-loved comic books, surely it can’t be that bad. I decided to watch the first episode and find out for myself. Here are 68 thoughts I had while watching Riverdale for the first time:

  1. Is that Cole Sprouse?cole sprouse riverdale GIF by NETFLIX

  21. Okay, I Googled it. They’re supposed to be 15 or 16. Oh my God. I’m embarrassed for them.
  22. Did she just ask if there are any night clubs? She’s just a baby. What. Are. You. Doing?

  58. Jughead is my favourite character so far.season 2 riverdale GIF
  59. Geez, what did Archie do to Jughead?
  60. “I’ll never be good enough for you” is the worst excuse ever.
  61. “I’m not gay,” okay, sure man.
  62. Yeah, wow, dramatic as hell.
  63. Oh God, I see how they got three seasons out of this.

Final thoughts

It’s like High School Musical meets Gossip Girl, but they’re 15 (and there’s a murder?). It’s dramatic af (and is nowhere near as good as The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), but overall, it’s not as bad as I thought. But… I can’t say I’ll continue watching it.
