The Most Completely Insane Moments from “Riverdale” (So Far)

There are a number of TV shows that tend to be super polarizing with audiences. People either love or hate them.

Riverdale is certainly one of those shows. The CW adaptation of the Archie comics brings with it an edgier vibe and darker tone, along with its fair share of absolutely WTF moments. True, it’s only been on the air for a season and half(ish).

But it already has fans watching it the way a dog watches a human make dog sounds. As in, what the actual hell is happening in this writers’ room?

Here are the most insane Riverdale moments so far.

When Archie had that affair with Ms. Grundy

This first season revelation wound up being mostly ignored by Archie’s friend group, we guess because they thought it was cool that a 15-year-old would be hooking up with a 25-year-old hot AF teacher, but really? He can’t even drive a car yet and he’s driving… something else? No. Just no.

When Alice discovers the truth but instead of going to the authorities, she blackmails Grundy to leave town

Because Riverdale is a town where parents are experts in manipulation and not at all in actual parenting.

The fact that Jughead is basically homeless because his dad is in a biker gang

It’s hard not to feel sorry for Jughead. He lives in an abandoned drive-in, not because of his affinity for classic film (although there is that), but because his dad is too busy doing lowlife things with his lowlife cohorts. At least he’s got his computer and that book he’s working on, right?

When Chuck slut-shamed Veronica

Chuck’s a real piece of shit, and so is every other guy at Riverdale High who thought it’d be cool to rate and review the girls at the school in a burn book sorta way.
