Kelly, an import from the now-canceled spin-off Katy Keene, but despite a deeply homoerotic build-up and a Rocky-style split decision against him, Archie still ends up seeming like a bit of a petulant little nitwit. I call myself an 'Archie Purist' because I prefer the traditional digests over the newer contemporary comic book issues, but I was on board with all the comic-to-tv changes. He tries to distract himself by boxing his way into the naval academy against K.O. The season 1 finale solidified Riverdale's place as 2017's best new show As much as I enjoyed the first few episodes, I had a huge problem with one particular storyline. It might be just as well since both of them have enough going on in their own lives, even if Archie, in particular, doesn’t have a particularly good outing. Archie Andrews is an all-American teen, but the town tragedy made him realize a few things. Yes, Betty and Archie locking lips last season has put a bit of a downer on the romance, to be honest, especially when Archie – at prom! – confesses to the dalliance. 2.1 Season 1 (2017) 2.2 Season 2 (201718) 2.3 Season 3 (201819) 2.4 Season 4 (201920) 2.5 Season 5 (2021) 2.6 Season 6 (. Season 1 episodes (20) As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from a student’s death. At Riverdale High, Betty, Archie, Jughead and new girl Veronica wrestle with clashing desires while coping with a fellow students tragic death.
This is also, by design as much as coincidence, the healthiest relationship in the episode. While navigating the troubled waters of teen sex, romance, school and family, Archie and his gang become entangled in a dark Riverdale mystery. Luckily, Cheryl Blossom and Toni Topaz are on-hand to be declared co-queens of the prom in a big moment of open-minded, ceiling-shattering acceptance, which at least proves Riverdale still has its representational bonafides in order. The gaudy productions of said antagonist lead them to the kind of local connoisseur that Frank Castle would off in a heartbeat, and then to a really indulgently silly prom sequence in which the whole event is taken over with strobe lights and homemade murder footage – not that anyone, least of all Archie and Veronica, was having that good of a time anyway.Ī lot of the pleasure of Riverdale season 5, episode 1 is to be found in Betty and Jughead’s increasingly risqué pursuit of the Auteur, which plays for both comedy and drama and leads “Chapter Seventy-Seven: Climax” into seedier territory. Yes, the Auteur is still on the loose, and Betty and Jughead – not as happy as one of them thinks, relationship-wise – are still on the trail.
