      Critic Reviews for Riverdale: Season 1

      Audience Reviews for Riverdale: Season 1

      • Feb 09, 2023
        In the first season of Riverdale, themes such as death, love, family problems and the fight to achieve your dreams are dealt with. Each character represents a sector of society, and it is easy to feel identified with one of them. The series begins with the mysterious death of young Jason Blossom, which ends the peace of the town and will unravel dark truths from the city's past. Throughout the season the secrets and interests of each family are discovered. Audience can try to solve these mysteries from home, this can be very interesting. And you can passionately live the love stories of the series. I also think that the production is very good and the actors do it great. In my opinion, this series is very interesting, and I recommend it especially for teenagers. Because they are the ones who will most identify with the characters. This series is very funny but also a bit dark, but I think you might like it if you decide to watch it.
      • Feb 08, 2023
        If you want to watch this show and enjoy it you have to watch it with a bit of humor involved. It is in NO WAY good or should be taken seriously but it is genuinely so funny sometimes. Season 1 is the only season that I could see being seen as generally good. The best part of the show is the relationships between the characters and them hanging out as a group, so past season 2 it goes on a heavy decline, and I suggest not even watching anything last season 4. It can be a fun and entertaining show that honestly does hit you in the feel sometimes but just watch it with a grain of salt.

      • Apr 18, 2022
        Love this show and it's references to the old Archie comics. If you like true crime, murder/mystery, romance, si-fy, supernatural, and watching shows that will keep you on your toes….watch this. They never disappoint.
