First of all, why are all the women constantly looking for sex this episode and the level of explanation for half the stuff in this episode is terrible. What is even happening anymore?

The more you guys complain about how much the show sucks and how it should be canceled but still watch it is what renews it more. Stop saying it's so horrible and should be canceled when you keep on tuning in whenever it comes on.
PS: Riverdale is not a netflix original. Netflix can't cancel it.

Okay, what happened into Cheryl's head ?

Was troubled with the premiere of the sixth season. Let's wrap up here...
Jughead hosts this episode just like Rod Sterling did in the Twilight Zone.
The town been's rechristened "Rivervale"
Everybody enjoying love and the little problems of life...
However, there is somebody troubling: Cheryl Blossom.
Our dear arrogant, condescending, pretentious, quipping Queen does it again. Though at first her army of lady archers seem intimidating to her cousin Betty (who's in the FBI), finally, she gets everyone influenced in her power (including a Maple Festival) so a big human sacrifice can be done in order to get revenge on an event happened so long ago...
And a redhead shall be the One... Well you can guess...
Ok Sabrina, come and fight this evil mistress of Red...
End of Story...

No one asked for this. No one. Season one of this show was *chef's kiss.* It appears now that they select 6 random people off the street and say write a scene about the stupidest nonsense anyone COULDN'T imagine and then they go with that. Yes, I get they're attempting to shoehorn in Sabrina and they likely used this episode's ending to give AJ time with his newborn in real life. But newsflash, Sabrina absolutely sucked in its last season so why you want to bring that suckiness into the Riverdale universe is beyond me. Like, season 4 of Sabrina completely ruined the entire series for me. And there were ways to allow for his absence without this drivel you call episode one of season six. Fans are leaving in droves, is that not a wake up?? Rehire whoever you let get away because obviously someone did since this show isn't just going down hill.. it already went down hill, went into the freaking mines in season five and has now made a new hill in an alternate dimension and rolled to the bottom of it. Between this episode and the musicals, I cannot with this series anymore. I gave them some grace because of Covid but that excuse has been cashed and there's no more excusing it. This show that so many loved has gone beyond trash. It has set itself on fire and is now a dumpster fire of its own making. Congratulations.
Just when you thought the show couldn't get any worse!

What a weird episode
ldamena17 November 2021
Felt like I was watching The Twilight Zone or something. I get the sense that AU's is what this 5 episode thing will be when it comes to Riverdale. Interesting. Love the Betty & Archie stuff. Lili and KJ have amazing chemistry!!! But everything else is so confusing. It's gonna be a trip and I can't wait.
A whole new level of bad
elin9322 November 2021
This episode was so confusing and had nothing to do with the storyline. I honestly thought that the musical episodes was the worst, but this episode takes bad to a whole new level. This episode made the musical episodes look good.
Im loving the horror and the creepiness of rivervale
samir-moukheiber22 November 2021
People really gotta stop rating every episode really low because their favourite ships are non existent. This new temporary vibe of riverdale is actually really interesting and intriguing just wait for more episodes to understand how the writers are gonna create a link with rivervale and riverdale.
What in the Riverhell!?!?
jfarnham-8336019 November 2021
This episode had me confused... am I watching the twilight zone? Rivervale? Like cmon... u guys must really can't think of anything new 2 come up. I have been watching this show from the beginning and even after the first couple seasons where it started going downhill I still kept watching cuz I'm that big of a fan... I thought the singing episodes were bad but man this was just awful and has me super disappointed.
Yikes

Rivervale? Alternative reality? Sacrifice's and witches? Sabrina Spellmen? I mean, where is this show even going with this storyline? I dont believe they have a specific story or a dialogue for the season, they just shoot 3-4 episodes with a storyline and see the people review's and reactions, if they like it then they'll continue doing episodes about it and if not they move to a new dialogue. That sickness me.
Soo Bad ..

First i want to say riverdale Season 1 and Season 2 was good but after that it went down so bad..
Riverdale should have been cancelded after Season 2.
This new Episode is so bad it turns more and more in a bad horror whatever thing.. It seems they fill the episodes with all garbage they have and they give nothing about logic or the plot..
Sad how you can ruin a good series with each episode more and more ... :(

Stop fussing and enjoy it for what it is
katjastachowicz20 November 2021
Sure, I wish they'd stuck with the original premise, but guys stop being so goddamn anal. Either enjoy it for what it is, or stop watching. Yes, it's weird and no it doesn't always make sense, but it makes me chuckle and it provides me with a forty-minute escape every Wednesday - both of which makes me happy. So I'll keep on watching for as long as they air, enjoying my little escape from reality.
The CW managed the near impossible... to make this worse than season 5.

I really don't know where they get the "writers" that write this , i am mildy sure if you pick random 1st year Literature Students and had them write for this show, they couldn't come up with a worse storyline.
It is just so bad, that i really find it astonishing that they managed to "top" the already borderline unwatchable season 5.

Riverdale meets terror
juan-7258417 November 2021
In this great start to the season Riverdale gives a twist to its plot and focuses on the horror and mystery genre, giving us different and fresh narratives that relate to the magic and horror that the town hides in its foundations.
Ummm...
huardderek29 November 2021
If this is how these 5 episodes are going to go I think it's safe to skip. I understand trying to do something different but this isn't it. Did they sit in the writing room and say "oh well we don't have a full episode idea so let's add multiple sex scenes" and Betty and Archie talking about a baby was just cringe.
Ummm
krgoldman-5644822 December 2021
What the crap was this? And who thought it was a good idea? I mean how did the actors keep from rolling their eyes? Time for new writers. Season five was a dumpster fire and it seems like the fire has not been extinguished.
Better than the regular timeline.
m-4782612 December 2021
Writers clearly saw they couldn't get away with their silly ideas anymore. So they've decided to include them in a world that is by definition unreal and outside the realm of reality. To prevent the backlash? In a way, it works, but it's too much of an obvious decoy, to be genuinely enjoyed by most. Personally I didn't hate it, but I hope it will respect the new narrative's logic, and not go too far with the fan service writing and other writers « changes of heart ». Could the show be more focused, with this « alternate universe » safety net on? Only time will tell, but so far so good. And if it also includes all the Archieverse characters, introduced throughout the series run. Then it might bring closure to the whole franchise, and maybe redeem all its most notable mistakes...
Amazing! I can't believe the show had the "heart" to do that!!

Warning: Spoilers
The premiere episode of the 5 episode "RiverVale" event was amazing. It felt properly paced and left my jaw on the floor. I can not believe they killed of Archie Andrews in this episode. And in a brutal way. Season 6 is going to be crazy if they have Archie getting his heart torn out by Cheryl.

Wow!
SalemMagick21 November 2021
I understand that we are heading in the direction of Midsommer or Greendale,however I am never hasty to judge Riverdale.
Perhaps this was a Halloween special!
The writers are pure geniuses that always surprise me. Each season has its plot-twist which is what I mainly love about Riverdale and also mystery.
I do not understand why people complain that much,since the writers made clear that things would always take a weird turn since season 3.
Keep an open mind and watch this , see what they want to bring in the series.
I am certain and I can say without a doubt that this will all make sense in a few episodes.
