Yes, it's now 5 seasons in. I know a lot of you don't watch this anymore, but I still find it entertaining.

I've been reading that the series will do a time jump a few episodes in, with the cast at about their actual age. Archie will be back from military service and Veronica will have married a Wall Street wiz.

We already had Chad Michael Murray lead a cult and try to build a rocket to the moon...so....can this be any worse?

I've been trying to finish up last season, about 8 more episodes, since I knew the new season was gonna be starting soon. So it's not an immediate watch for me. It's one of those shows that I don't pay strict attention to so I'm not really sure what's going on most of the time, but the crazy stuff that happens is enough to keep me watching. For those watching closely, do the plots make any logical sense? I'm hoping they end it this season or next. It's the CW though, so it'll probably be on for 5 more seasons.

But it's still an entertaining watch.

Last season, they had tickle porn. TICKLE PORN. Season before Chad Michael Murray was a cult leader who built a rocket shit to the moon. Season before Archie and a bunch of other shirtless kids make a threatening, sexy video.

4 episodes have now aired. I'm now caught up with the season.
I thought the the wrap up to the group's high school saga was handled really well including graduation. Those were some really solid episodes including the final goodbye.
Now they have jumped forward 7 years. I did notice that Veronica mentioned to her husband that it's "2021" I don't recall them ever mentioning years in the show, so the HS era episodes took place roughly 2012-2014-ish? However, it is interesting that they used smart phones that were newer tech than the time period.
So far, I'm intrigued with the new direction with Riverdale now being a dump and where all the characters are at. Now they're all playing 24-something characters.

I just watched a few eps for fun of the current season 6, since a friend is always talking how more trashy it is now. Everyone has powers now. Archie is indestructible, Betty can read auras/souls, Jugg can read minds, Cheryl is a pyrotechnic, Tabitha can time travel. etc etc.
Tabitha has seen 1000+ Riverdale futures and most end in the apocalypse.
But hey, some of the comics they have powers and time travel, so sure why not
