I binged it, all the way through half of season 5, I guess they had a midseason break in s5 when I started watching. I watched it at a time when I was not well and just wanted to distract myself. I won't deny, it is pretty bad, but I could still watch because Lili is the prettiest girl to look at and I like how the prettiest girl doesn't fall for the jock but the nerd one.. Even that went downhill from season 5 and that's when I started skipping parts or watching half heartedly just to see how things end out of curiosity. But this show opened doors for US teen shows for me, I have watched Teen Wolf and Vampire Diaries universe since then and liked them even with their imperfections, especially TVD.

[@randomuserwitharandomname6183]

The fact that the principal calls Cheryl out for dancing with another girl, which like Alex said, was very common, but not for dancing with a ~black girl~ tells me anything I need to know about the show's understanding of gay and black history.

[@sabahmerchant1866]

Especially since in some cultures girls would basically be almost completely isolated from boys until they were adults (especially if they went to all-girls schools and colleges), so dancing with other girls was literally the only authority-approved option for them

Playing to the Nancy Drew and Hardy Brothers tropes. Midnight Club showed how well these actors can be as other characters (specifically teenage versions of their parents and really evoking the actors who play the parents), and KJ Apa has demonstrated he can do emotional scenes really well when he gets the material. It’s the writing and creative decisions that have failed the actors and cheated the audience.

KJ would have been 19 when the pilot aired, and 18 when the it was filmed, so everyone in the cast was legal and thus fewer restrictions on the risqué material. Ashleigh, who plays Josie, is ten years older than KJ, and their characters were briefly in a relationship early on. To make the Fake Grundy storyline even creepier, KJ was eighteen when he filmed intimate scenes with an actress who was mid-30’s in age. Even knowing the show would have had an intimacy coach doesn’t make it better. I suppose one positive about the 50’s setting is that the show has to be more conservative with the fanservice to be more accurate to the period.

i'm not black so please correct me if i'm wrong, but i find it so.... weird that the writers gave all the black characters such a traumatic storyline. i mean, you have betty being a goody two-shoes girl next door, archie being a jock, jughead with his old hat, etc etc, and then toni and the other two black characters in the show are fighting for emmett till's rights. that's so serious and so different from the rest of the group that it's giving viewers emotional whiplash. i appreciate that they want to discuss this very real and horrific moment in history, but i don't think ANYONE expected riverdale to discuss this. and tbh, with the way they're treating it right now and the way they're representing it, i don't think riverdale can be trusted to discuss this.

[@ilmianafirmantika8079]

Through season 6, I feel like they started to acknowledge the absurdity and leant more towards it. Idk why they decided to have more serious/complex issues in the show now

[@melbrooke280]

I don’t think it was right to bring in Emmett tills tragic story but based on these videos, it seems like most of the characters had very traumatic storylines if you think about it. Like bettys dad is a serial killer, Archie’s life in general is nuts, same with Veronica and Cheryl and jughead so, that’s all pretty damn traumatic. I think it’s just different because this is adding in a real life tragedy

[@leahheapp]

(tldr: I agree, roberto cannot be trusted to do true life, sensitive and horrific storylines as such. And he didn’t bother to see it all the way through anyways). adding to the comment above, throughout the season the other characters also have pretty traumatic or not nice events happen to them. Betty and Veronica both get disowned by their parents, Betty is even hit by Alice whilst Veronica is again manipulated by her father into covering up his conspiring with the Russians and is told her parents are divorcing. Reggie experiences a fair bit of racism throughout most of season, Archie has lost his dad in the war and is pushed around by his uncle. Cheryl is also treated awfully by her parents when they realise she is a lesbian. Jughead’s mentor is murdered. Whilst it certainly isn’t on the same playing field as what you mentioned they gave to the black characters of the show, the rest of them aren’t all sunshine and rainbows. Not as dark as the original timeline characters, but it’s there. Plus, Roberto (who’s surprised) didn’t even commit to consistently portraying the civil rights movement throughout the seasons to even do it justice. He did the same thing with the threat of Communism and Stalin… made it a bit threat one episode then lit it simmer unimportantly in the background 😐 So once he’s ticked his box and covered it, Toni didn’t really get much more of a storyline after that. It was just about finding her feet with Cheryl. And Tabitha barely even appeared in the whole season. Clay, equally, his storyline was surrounding being Kevin’s boyfriend and working for Veronica in the movie theatre 😭 he spent too much time on the wrong things to actually give the black characters proper fleshed out storylines and backgrounds. Granted they aren’t the core 4, but with it being the last season he could’ve given them the send off they deserved.

I agree. A simple “Who Done It?” murder mystery was probably the only decent plot in the entire series. It just spiraled into chaos as things kept going.

[@christoferkapasa4976]

U mean archie sings Play Football and fucks everyone while the others solves the mistery

[@Xehanort10]

How did it go from "Who killed Cheryl's brother" to being about nothing with random things happening for no reason and making no sense?

[@chasehedges6775]

I just hope the child actress playing Jughead’s sister goes on to have better roles

[@NJGuy1973]

14:18 "We did not raise you this way, Ethel!" "Do you have any idea what it's like to be a teenage girl and look like this?" Oops, sorry, wrong Shannon Purser movie.

[@elizabethhh2460]

I've only ever read the old Riverdale comics.... This is so bizarre

[@OnlySourSauce]

Hahaha I cant😂😂😂, that animation at 11:51 is amazing

[@cindyjemutai9812]

I don't know If I'm the only one who's watched riverdale exclusively through reviews 😂

[@bgos4727]

No you are not

[@Sexpistolz]

First season was actually so good😂 remember watching it when it came out. Now it’s crazy how the actors haven’t left

[@EliLevy]

I have been watching Riverdale since it came out in 2017, and that was when I discovered your channel. It has become a tradition for me to watch Riverdale and your videos on them. It is coming to an end, but luckily you will still be making videos.

[@zachdk]

Alex, I dropped this show many many years ago but I always looks forward to you filling me in. Thank you sir.

[@azadnoor]

Alex meters is so relieved hes just like ''no more riverdale lets go"

[@azadnoor]

Btw love ur vids and nobody can spoil this at the time I'm wacthing

[@azadnoor]

This is the first time im watching riverdale so im so fucking confused wtf

[@cre8trbotls]

1) I’ll start with you have come a long way as an animator. This isn’t the first video you have made where I have thought that. Congrats to all your hard work it really does show. 2) Your commentary is so funny. The fact that you still continue to watch Riverdale makes me laugh even more and harder. (I quit during season 2. ¿Did I really??? I can keep up with the show thanks to this channel.) That’s all, enjoy the rest of your day.

[@prabhanshutiwari9085]

i was waiting when you will post this

[@faithh3088]

"And then we read the Bible and sing hymns to Jesus. Isn't that right Jebadiah?" - 😂😂😂😂😂 this is too good

[@buahahaevillaugh1113]

I'm sorry, last time I was here Veronica's dad was a mafia boss and there was a board game that made you see goats. Now I'm hearing about *looks at notes on hand* meteors and time travel? Sure is... an idea, I guess.

[@MegaJakethesnake1]

Thank you for sharing Riverdale's very insightful and tasteful interpretation of Emmett Till. It did not at all make me want to gouge my eyes out and destroy my eardrums when they even sort of mentioned it.

[@darkestthinker9639]

Thank you Alex for making these videos they kept me going though some hard times.

[@radwamohamed_]

I can't believe that the show survived that long with its awful storylines and dialogue.

[@JonathonFyck]

“What do I even do with myself?” Me after every show I watch ends

[@brainwyrms7179]

i've been waiting for this!

[@mochajocabed8303]

Been waiting for this video !!

[@DaenerysGOT18]

I love the fact that you made Cheryl have Shego posters in her room😂

[@IdaSantti]

Oh don't worry Alex. When Riverdale ends, you can't start doing Supernatural. 15 seasons of pure fun 💜

[@ycbgmtobi]

Then The Winchesters.

[@starcrysis23]

5 seasons of fun. Then 10 seasons of “I’m attached to this and there’s a good episode here and there but boy is this a poorly written slog”. And then you finish it and you never watch it again.

[@Randomperson-nc7ye]

​@@starcrysis23idk I kinda love seasons 6-15 more as it takes itself less seriously

[@megannovotny1887]

The character select screen gets me every time, its amazing!

[@nimbleghostgirl7215]

7:15 OH MY DEAR GOD! ITS AN ANKLE! DEVIL WOMEN!

[@hebislay]

The end of a Legendary Alex Meyers Era is over…

[@andrewthegeek6522]

13:35 "I meant french people" I've not laughed this hard in a minute

[@orebadejoh7250]

been waiting on this one !

[@eddiesan3121]

That shining force 2 ad background music got me man. Lol. a Great detail!!! Love it ❤

[@VagueVAA]

Sometimes I get that urge to watch riverdale from the beginning but then I see scenes like at 4:45 then remember tht I’m good…

[@morganneluse]

I have, to this day, never watched a single episode of Riverdale. I just watch your recaps and laugh at the absurdity 😂

[@katarinababic9197]

Thank you for keeping me up to date with this show. I'm sure gonna miss this. 💙💙💙

[@potentiallyatrio]

The select your character animations where so cool!

[@cassandramclain4509]

Alex, you did it! You made it to the end!

[@milestrombley1466]

Alex, you should check out Wolf Pack next. The actress who played Buffy is in it, and people are barely talking about it.

[@4everbuffylover]

That means it probably sucks 😬

[@depressed_khaleesi]

​@@4everbuffylover That makes it an ever better video suggestion lmao

[@nathhje]

Never watched an actual episode, and every time when you upload another one I am flabbergasted by the randomness of the new genres they manage to pull in. Even the whiplash from Umbrella Academy season 2 wasn't this big...

[@_Ki_]

Okay, Alex, you have officially outdone yourself in this video😂! I screamed crying the entire time😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣!!!
