It's supposed to be Jughead and Betty! And Archie and Betty! Just no.

What on God's green earth do the writers think they are doing? Whoever came up with this storyline is huffing gas no cap. The fact that they call this show a "drama" and "mystery" when it is more like a "comedy" or "car fire"???!!! At this point the show is a trainwreck I can't help but watch. But this episode...THIS EPISODE...wow. I was audibly groaning when they started every song and literally had to look away. The fact that people were upset about the Betty ad Arche kiss??? REALLY???? Thats what you had a problem with in this episode? Not teenages working for the FBI, playing a rock show on a roof, PRETENDING TO BE DEAD, or running illegal business...you have an issue with the CHEATING and that's why you won't watch anymore...I have lost all faith in humanity.

This episode was utterly tragic. I was so excited to watch Casey's performance, but unfortunately, his talent was overshadowed by the ridiculous mess that was the relationship drama between the core four characters.

Yes, I understand and appreciate that the situation of the relationship between Betty and Archie needed to be engaged with, for the sake of closure. But in a way that completely undermines four seasons of character development? What were the writers thinking? Betty, Archie, Jughead and Veronica were all written in ways that did not make any sense to their character and contradict what has been developed over the past four years. And for what? A pairing that have relatively nothing in common, have very little chemistry and are only favoured by a small portion of viewers? It just doesn't make any sense with the storylines and the current dynamics of their relationships.

If the writers really wanted Betty and Archie to become "a thing", they could have easily put them together in a way that doesn't involve writing them so out of character, and cheating on Jughead and Veronica. This situation really just rehashes and glorifies the early season one Betty-Archie-Veronica love triangle. This outdated and irrelevant idea completely contradicts and destroys the past four seasons of character development, especially for Betty.

I am sure for many of the viewers, Betty and Jughead's relationship and their individual characters were what many people were holding onto the show for. But now that this poorly-written situation between Betty and Archie has damaged the dynamic between Betty and Jughead, and Archie and Veronica, I am certain many will soon abandon the show.

Well done writers, well done.

I feel very sorry for all the actors and actresses but this show just needs to get cancelled. The writers do not hesitate to completely destroy a character. I would rather see Betty accidentally killing Jughead than what happened in this episode. It makes me very sad that whoever decides on the plot clearly has no idea how teenagers, even ones who went thtrough trauma, behave. Friendship and loyalty is a thing, even when you are young and often prone to do dumb things. Cheating storylines are disgusting, especially when they come out of the blue and do not fit the character at all. I'm assuming the showrunners just want to create useless drama, but all they achieved in doing so is losing viewers. I will never watch a Riverdale episode again.

Were they? Hands down the worst, messiest, most rushed episode of the entire series. And what was that with Betty and Archie? Did they really just cheat? Where did that come from?

Like I said, acid trip.

2 stars simply for the fact that Mr. Honey trolls Cheryl about halfway through the episode by saying "Toodles."

To say there's better things to watch during this quarantine would be a heavy understatement.

I like watching this show yes, and the musical episodes as bad as they are this one was just horrible, bad songs, bad moments, bad everything, and cmon Archie and Betty?, one fight and it's all over, yeah I get they've been hinting at it from the start but this was not a good way to break up, nor am actual good episode to do it, should've just had an actual decent breakup for another reason if anything, anything would've been better than that.

This episode was everything I hate about Riverdale. I was not against exploring relationships because it's a teen drama, obviously stuff like this happens. I also thought Betty and Archie getting together could've made sense and I like it when teen's feelings are explored in teen shows. But, the way these characters that we've seen evolve for 4 seasons were treated was what made this episode unbearable. This episode did not portray the Betty Cooper and Archie Andrews I know and love. To say the truth, I am deeply disgusted by their behavior and I just find it irritating that these characters who were my favorite for so long were ruined because of this single episode. Betty Cooper and Archie Andrews are not cheaters nor selfish people. They both told their respective partners that they were the only people for them 2 episodes ago. Even if Betty is young and confused, that does not excuse the fact that she lied to her boyfriend and best friend's face for a man she has not shown an ounce of love or romantic interest in 50 episodes (the flashbacks were all from literally 3 years ago). The inconsistency in this storyline makes it ten times more frustrating. This love triangle is extremely forced. This is not the way it should've happened. I am annoyed that I will never love Betty Cooper and Archie Andrews the same again. From the promo, it looks like the show will continue in this direction so it confirms my decision that I am finally done with Riverdale. Props to the cast and in particular Casey Cott though, they did an amazing job in interpreting the songs.

This episode was by far one the best episodes of riverdale and best musical they have done!! Everyone's vocals were amazing and the songs were on point. Casey Cott owned this episode he was honestly so amazing. His talent never fails to amaze me. Also the barchie?? Wow they were amazing and I so excited to see where this goes. Even though I don't condone cheating I can accept the fact that it's a TEEN DRAMA SHOW

Why are you all here so pressed about this epiode? First of all, yes, the Riverdale writers shouldn't do any more musical episodes. Because well, its just bad, like horrifyingly terrible. But I really don't understand the "Bughead" Stans here complaining about Barchie. They definitely have chemistry and you could see them coming together earlier or later since the first season. And if you say you stop watching because of the cheating, well I really can't help you anymore. This show contains drug and alcohol abuse, murder, violence, a whole lot of sex and if Barchie now makes you so upset that you have to leave, you should have stopped watching probably two seasons ago.
