The reason I watched Riverdale was for the return of Cole Sprouse (from “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody”). I watched the first two seasons with my parents, but we gave up halfway through Season 3.
I never knew this was the Archie comic show live action...that's very cool Very faithful to the comics actually Glad they had Jughead's love of hamburgers in it too Rip Luke Perry
I feel like at some point the authors just started looking up riverdale fan ficitons and tried to figure out how they could fit every single one of them into the series
I doubt anybody who wrote a fan faction was this brain dead to write whatever Riverdale put on the show lmao or maybe they wrote good fan fictions and Riverdale’s writers just ruined it
@@Destined4Greatness. dude… Don’t underestimate what some people will whip up and then post publicly as fanfiction because there’s some stuff out there… That either is absolutely bat shit amazing or makes you wonder if that person would be the poster child for a lobotomy.
Nahhhhh YOU GUYS NEVER READ ANY OF THE COMICS??? ? Cus in the comics it explains well that Sabrina is part of the universe and there are so many diverse comics in the Riverdale world that leads up to them going back in time cus Riverdale comics where made in the late 1940's so it makes sense that they all died in the early 2000's the OG creator who made the comics is dead so they made it up to his expectations
You know, when described like this, seasons 1-4 actually manage to sound cohesive, if incredibly melodramatic and ridiculous. And then season 6 rolls around and suddenly there's superpowers and merging supernatural universes and it's like "theeeeeere it is".
@@HannahM-xd6txright, I watched season 2 and stopped. Hearing it ended, I went to see how it ended and then realized I did the right thing to stop watching💀
Yea actually watching seasons 1-4 didn't make them seem super cohesive. The plot was often lost or forgotten about. Like one scene Veronica declares to her dad that she is fighting against him, the next she asks him for help.
Thanks for struggling through this. You saved me multiple hours of my life. I only made it to the boxing match in season 3 and now i know i didn't miss anything. Even watching the recap was so cringe i barely made it.
thank you for your sacrifice lmao I laughed out loud soooo many times from the sheer absurdity of this show, especially season 6 but seriously, how many murders this show has, like????? I'm so glad I passed on Riverdale, omfg
People keep getting murdered and came back alive and the original killers actually never arrested before someone else got arrested 😂😂such a shit show last seasons
I fell in love with Riverdale in season 1-2 but I also really liked season 3-4. All I can say is that from 5-7 the show just never felt the same and even If I watched it I missed "my" Riverdale and why I fell in love with the show. It was just too much and all over the place in genre and story wise and sometimes just weird, and thats coming from someone who thought 3-4 was fine still!! Im so sad it did end like this because it could have been so much better. It had potential. But with that said, It will still have a special place in my heart.
I have seen many crazy show but they started as crazy shows, but this started as normal natural teen drama then cults, magic, time travel, superpowers to top it all THE MULTIVERSE. Its like taking gosip girl + vamire diaries + doctor who + marbel cinematic universe = RIVERDALE😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this video, as a watcher who struggled but stayed with this series, I'm glad to watch a series recap as a pallet cleanser after that underwhelming series finale!!!
Ok good, the comments have reassured me its not just me who's ABSOLUTELY confused at WTF is going on. These recap videos are all very detailed and i know you're good at summarizing series seeing as you did so well with Lost. Its just this show is batshit as fuck
I watched up to season 5 and then they lost me. When they started adding magic I was super confused. I watched it because I was just curious to see how absurd the storylines could get. But wow 😂😅
I had heard Riverdale was insane but I didn’t realise it went full multiverse and time travel. This show is on some serious crack. Haha thank you for recapping it, so I never have to watch it.
i dropped this shit after the time skip 💀but hearing that hiram planted a bomb under archies bad like its a looney tunes cartoon then blowing up the town was the icing on the cake. i'd rather watch teen wolf season 6 then anything after season 2 of riverdale
21:36 it's obviously not funny but that was a crazy transition from the crazy Cheryl plotline to the realistic harm of drug and alcohol abuse in Jughead's plot
Even tho Riverdale went haywire, it still felt kindof comforting and sad to see them say goodbye to eachother and reminisce over the old riverdale and the years we spent watching them coming to a end, it made me cry and i dont cry
This recap was supposed to be almost an hour long but I respect the man who made this since he skipped all the batshit crazy details 😂 and trust me he did us a favor 😅
I never watched this past the first 2 episodes because I couldn't reconcile the series with the Archie comics I read when I was younger. This recap just solidifies my opinion!
im so glad you did this for us. i stopped at the beginning of season 5 and that was a struggle to get to! but what the actual is season 6 and 7?! glad i never had to watch them
The reason I watched Riverdale was for the return of Cole Sprouse (from “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody”). I watched the first two seasons with my parents, but we gave up halfway through Season 3.
This show seems a lot less unhinged the way you describe it! Lol I might actually give it a try, but I wouldn't have too much faith in it according to what I'm hearing about the show
I kinda quit paying attention after aeason 2. I made it to the boxing match in season 3. They went so far off the tracks after season 2 I just couldn't get into it.
Genuine answer: They started to lean really hard into the actual Archie comics for content, not realizing that the reason why a lot of adaptation take liberties in what they adapt, is because sometimes it doesn't translate well into live-action. No joke, the whole alternate realities thing, is ripped straight from the comics, but it works there cause well, its a comic, logic goes out the window there.
I’ll miss Riverdale. Season one was the best. I admit it started getting too convoluted during the gargoyle king mess and all the Hiram shenanigans. I really did enjoy season 6 and 7 tho. Seasons 3-5 was a snoozefest.
I love how they decided to just pull a 'dark' (tvshow) in the last season. So very obvious that the creators had a fatal lack of creativity and just started taking concepts of others shows and running with it.
LMFAOO imagine being the actors in this show though, they have to have the best friendship to stay for those last two seasons 😂 trolling america together
I stopped halfway through Season 3. Watched one episode because of Sabrina being in it. And honestly, I don't regret dropping the show. It's... Well it's something. I suppose.
From what I've gathered, there seems to be lots of groups formed in the show. And that they've opened lots of their own businesses, like the casino and FBI building etc. Some common patterns.
Riverdale to me was more than a TV show it started in 2017 which was the I started middle school and now I'm on my second year of University and now that it's over. It almost feels as though the last part of my childhood is slowly over and I'm not ready to let it go. I watch the show religiously and loved it, guess sometimes it didn't make sense and it pissed me off but it was a part of the experience that we're never going to get again because most shows now don't do 26 episodes of season . Riverdale is the last show that had this formula, even though sometimes it didn't make sense but the show brought me so much comfort and so much sense of familiarity. And I'm not ready to say "Goodbye Riverdale"
I've never watched more than a 5 min clip of Riverdale. But watching this series recap was the best entertainment! Did these writers and producers just take LSD to write these episodes? These stories are so ridiculous, unbelievable and absurd that it would be almost fun to watch. ALMOST.
I've never heard of this tv series until yesterday. After watching your vid, all I say is good thing it's called Riverdale, not Archie Digest or other digest comic book because that tv show is confusing. Other than charcaters' name, I don't recognize the characters at all. Especially Jughead, my fav character. It's like reading someone's bio online and then later, you meet that someone in person only to have an urge to punch that person's face for ruining your first impression completely. And then walk away to have a burger to ease a headache.

Very faithful to the comics actually
Glad they had Jughead's love of hamburgers in it too

Shockingly all the fan fiction was written by some dude name Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Really odd that his was the only one ever chosen.
You know, when described like this, seasons 1-4 actually manage to sound cohesive, if incredibly melodramatic and ridiculous. And then season 6 rolls around and suddenly there's superpowers and merging supernatural universes and it's like "theeeeeere it is".
Yeah I stopped watching after season four so I had no idea how completely bonkers it got until recently
@@HannahM-xd6txright, I watched season 2 and stopped. Hearing it ended, I went to see how it ended and then realized I did the right thing to stop watching💀
season 1-3 especially was actually so good
Yea actually watching seasons 1-4 didn't make them seem super cohesive. The plot was often lost or forgotten about. Like one scene Veronica declares to her dad that she is fighting against him, the next she asks him for help.
Thanks for struggling through this. You saved me multiple hours of my life. I only made it to the boxing match in season 3 and now i know i didn't miss anything. Even watching the recap was so cringe i barely made it.
Yeah I stopped watching after season 4. Glad I didn’t miss anything worthwhile
Same I made it to season three and decided to watch the full recap. Glad I didn't attempt to finish the entire show
I concur.
Same
I wish I was that smart, my ass forced myself to watch the 5th season. Then most of the 6th. Show fell off hard.
How could you just say ALL OF THAT with a straight voice, I could never get through most of it without bursting into laughter...
I love that everything in the first 4 seasons sounds relatively normal and then it just goes completely unhinged in season 5
Yeah first two season were great… third was okay. Season 4 I stopped watching almost halfway through.
And thats exactly why I liked this show so much at first. It seemed so grounded! Then season 5 came and it all went to shit
Season 1- the mysterious death of Jason changed our town forever
Season 7- the two universes must be separated
It's so ridiculous I love it so much lmao
For me Riverdale Ended in Season 4
15 minutes in and this already feels like such a fever dream of a show. AND WE HAVEN’T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE PART WITH WITCHES AND MAGIC 😅
I mean, witches and magic aren't too much of a stretch when Sabrina crossovers are far from new for Archie.
At this part now and I’m cackling bc what am I listening too?! I absolutely love it! lol
The suffering you went through to create this recap is unimaginable
I'm pretty sure that the writers just sit around with a bag of drugs and laptops and whoever finishes the bag first gets their script printed.
That's a completely accurate assumption
If Jughead could do it who said that the writers of this f*ck up show could do it👍
To validate your thought, just think about all the antagonist and cult names. Omgoodness
😂😂😂😂
thank you for your sacrifice lmao I laughed out loud soooo many times from the sheer absurdity of this show, especially season 6 but seriously, how many murders this show has, like????? I'm so glad I passed on Riverdale, omfg
dont be glad!! it was a fun watch!
@@ra1659are you fucking high did you watch the video?
People keep getting murdered and came back alive and the original killers actually never arrested before someone else got arrested 😂😂such a shit show last seasons
The writers really took “never let them know your next move” to heart huh?
Every season seemed extraordinarily stranger than the last, but wow season 6 really came in swinging for the fences
Salute to those men and women who watched this show from beginning to end....
They must have gone through a lot..
I have never seen a show escalate so much in insanity. It doesn't matter if it's absolutely terrible, Riverdale is truly an iconic series
I fell in love with Riverdale in season 1-2 but I also really liked season 3-4. All I can say is that from 5-7 the show just never felt the same and even If I watched it I missed "my" Riverdale and why I fell in love with the show.

I watched up to season 5 and then they lost me. When they started adding magic I was super confused. I watched it because I was just curious to see how absurd the storylines could get. But wow 😂😅
I don't know what I just watched but it just kept getting crazier lol
Its crazy how people treated this show like it at one point wanted to be serious. This shit went so hard
I can’t believe described all of this with a serious voice. You sir are amazing. ❤️
Oden's beard, you deserve a medal for watching all this madness.
I had heard Riverdale was insane but I didn’t realise it went full multiverse and time travel. This show is on some serious crack. Haha thank you for recapping it, so I never have to watch it.
the first season recap and last season recap sound like two completely different shows 😭😭💀
One more season and thanos was appearing,I swear
18:11 “oh yeah.” Then proceeds to say an unhinged statement!
EXCUSE ME?! 😂😂
Thank you for doing this!! This recap saved me so much time (Sorry that you had to sit through this entire show tho)
i dropped this shit after the time skip 💀but hearing that hiram planted a bomb under archies bad like its a looney tunes cartoon then blowing up the town was the icing on the cake. i'd rather watch teen wolf season 6 then anything after season 2 of riverdale
shit mid asf
Dropped at season 4. Wished i would of kept watching. I love the bat shlt crazy stuff. If riverdale start off like that, it would of been better lmao
I’m so glad this show is done. The plot was really lost after season 2.
damn season 1 is the most normal thing to ever happen in riverdale
I can’t believe I was into this show for the first 4 seasons… I’m so embarrassed
Ikr! It’s much more fun in the later seasons
This a sign of maturity
Whats so bad without..I like it as it's wholesome that the shows has families into the story, beats dynasty.
Is it cos its cringe somewhat? Lol
I really appreciate this! I never planned nor will ever watch this show but I wanted to know what it was about
Me too. Now I know it was a catalog of seriously attractive people, costumes and nothing else.
I'm very glad that I dropped it before finishing the second episode. And I haven't watched the other half of the recap yet.
21:36 it's obviously not funny but that was a crazy transition from the crazy Cheryl plotline to the realistic harm of drug and alcohol abuse in Jughead's plot
Thank you for making this concise AND putting time stamps in it! You rock!
Even tho Riverdale went haywire, it still felt kindof comforting and sad to see them say goodbye to eachother and reminisce over the old riverdale and the years we spent watching them coming to a end, it made me cry and i dont cry
Think that’s called Stockholm syndrome
@@akmedo lol bro, this was hella funny
Wow! A recap channel with a real human, no AI voice!!!!! 😄😁🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was already confused, but then season 6 recap started and my brain short circuited
thanks for suffering thru this. I stopped at season 5. Thanks for the recap. this multiverse stuff is crazy!!! it def went off the rails in season 6.
riverdale,green dale and Crystal Cover are connected. That’s why it is so crazy
I love these videos. I get to know the full plot of shows that I’ve heard of but know I’ll never get around to watching.
I’ve been waiting for someone to make a recap of riverdale for so long, sorry for your suffering!
i kept thinking, surely it couldn't get worse.... 😂😂😂 wtf happened after season one
i stopped watching riverdale in s4 and wow everything that came afterwards was insane
Off the rails is an understatement
This recap was supposed to be almost an hour long but I respect the man who made this since he skipped all the batshit crazy details 😂 and trust me he did us a favor 😅
This show started out so good in the first few seasons
I never watched this past the first 2 episodes because I couldn't reconcile the series with the Archie comics I read when I was younger. This recap just solidifies my opinion!
im so glad you did this for us. i stopped at the beginning of season 5 and that was a struggle to get to! but what the actual is season 6 and 7?! glad i never had to watch them
The reason I watched Riverdale was for the return of Cole Sprouse (from “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody”). I watched the first two seasons with my parents, but we gave up halfway through Season 3.
Same
How people can ever watch a show with make out or sex scenes with their parents will forever baffle me
This show seems a lot less unhinged the way you describe it! Lol I might actually give it a try, but I wouldn't have too much faith in it according to what I'm hearing about the show
id heard that this show was, how to put it... interesting, but oh boy was I not prepared for this.
23:45 'In Season 6 of Riverdale, things go completely off the rails!!!' What were the first twenty minutes about?
wtf happened, season 1 and 2 were so good
I kinda quit paying attention after aeason 2. I made it to the boxing match in season 3. They went so far off the tracks after season 2 I just couldn't get into it.

No joke, the whole alternate realities thing, is ripped straight from the comics, but it works there cause well, its a comic, logic goes out the window there.
Because they only had those seasons written out. After that they pulled the rest from their asses
“how many secret groups, conspiracies and random plot lines can we introduce in one show?”
Riverdale: “yes”
What a rollercoaster of emotions. Lol
Thank you for recap btw. You are doing God's work
I had always thought that this show was just a standard teen drama, I had no idea it was mind bending sci fi 😅
I'm just glad they stood true to the Archie comics I grew up with...
I watched this with no knowledge of Riverdale and while sleep deprived, and I feel like I just came back from an acid trip
I love this show! I could have done without the rivervale season, but im sad its gone :(
This makes GOT last season look Oscar worthy
Season 6 feels like a rip-off of Supernatural.
- Comic book foreshadowing
- Alternate realities
- Classic movie Monsters
I thought this would clear things up, and while it did, I still have so many questions.
I’ll miss Riverdale. Season one was the best. I admit it started getting too convoluted during the gargoyle king mess and all the Hiram shenanigans. I really did enjoy season 6 and 7 tho. Seasons 3-5 was a snoozefest.
7 was trying to be Wayyy too woke and was so boring
I was with ya until the start of season 4 and then everything went crazy from there
I love how they decided to just pull a 'dark' (tvshow) in the last season. So very obvious that the creators had a fatal lack of creativity and just started taking concepts of others shows and running with it.
What a Trainwreck of a series... Thank you for this video❤
LMFAOO imagine being the actors in this show though, they have to have the best friendship to stay for those last two seasons 😂 trolling america together
18:09 I'm sorry... WHAT NOW???! 😆 no context...?
i stumbled upon this video because i only watched season 1 and.. WHAT. SO MUCH IS HAPPENING.
This show is a fever dream 😂 and I’m bout to go watch it
Season 7 is now available on Netflix btw in the US
"... And Tabitha can time travel".
OK I need to watch this show.
“Oh yeah and also, Kevin, Reggie, Tony, and Fang start a business selling videos of themselves getting tickled”
SMH
this show is a masterpiece
Yea ok
Mental illness is real
The ending definitely gives Lost vibes… anyone else think that?
thanks for doing this video! I only watched season 1 :)
I feel like a need a recap for this recap… this show is wild bahahaha
dropped the show at mid season 2 but im gonna pick it up again now cause it's bat shit crazy and i hope it'll be fun to watch
You’ve saved all of us multiple days and hours of watching this shit so thank you for your service.
They ended up making virtually everyone gay lmaooo
I would say it's crazy and isn't at all based on the comics, but the superpowers and retro stuff are actually comic canons
WHEN YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT TIME TRAVEL I STARTED DYINGGGGGG OHMMGGHGHHGG
No joke, no lie, I LOVED Riverdale and the fact that it went so bonkers from start to finish made it fun TV. At least for me.
This was a very good show up to a point. Thank you for the recap I couldn't watch that slow crash and burn. The ending was so disappointing
omfg thank hods u made this im rlly lodt wstching this series so i’ll just watch recaps. thank uuu
I stopped halfway through Season 3.
Watched one episode because of Sabrina being in it. And honestly, I don't regret dropping the show.
It's... Well it's something. I suppose.
Confused?
You won’t be after these episodes of Soap ‼
From what I've gathered, there seems to be lots of groups formed in the show. And that they've opened lots of their own businesses, like the casino and FBI building etc. Some common patterns.

These stories are so ridiculous, unbelievable and absurd that it would be almost fun to watch.
ALMOST.
I had heard this show went really off the rails but wow i never imagined how much off the rails after watching this lol
Everything sounds insane and then you get to 23:41 and you discover you didn't even know what insane was.

timestamp 26:11 they are brought back to life by the power of the WHAT? given enough time the I'm guessing x-men would have popped up
I dropped off after S1. Man this show just became a lets see what sticks or how crazy we can make it. Didn't it 🤣
I have a message for the Riverdale writers: 100 hits of acid is TOO MUCH ACID
5 is where you started to lose me, and 6 is where all hope of comprehension was lost.
