      88% Tomatometer 274 Reviews 59% Audience Score 1,000+ Ratings Archie Andrews starts the school year with the world weighing on his shoulders. He's decided he wants to pursue a future in the music business, but his recently ended clandestine relationship with the music teacher has left him without a mentor, and his friendship with Jughead Jones is in a bad place. Things look like they might be turning around when Veronica Lodge, a new girl, arrives. Despite the instant chemistry, Veronica is hesitant to risk a friendship with Betty -- who has a crush on Archie -- to pursue anything.

      Jackson McHenry New York Magazine/Vulture The plot, much like cold maple syrup, thickens! Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer Riverdale tweaks its DNA in obviously modern ways, even as Gothic mansions and Eagle Scouts continue to populate its periphery. Kevin Keller, Archie's first openly gay character, isn't just present; he's a major part of the ensemble. Oct 18, 2017 Full Review Dana Schwartz Entertainment Weekly [K.J.] Apa is at his best here - expressive and a little bit frantic in a way that makes him more endearing than he ever had been in season 1. Rated: A- Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound This is a much more mature, less bright and waaaayyyy darker than the comic book Archie. Archie has been brought to television but given a little bit of a twist. Actually, a lot of twists. Rated: 3/5 Mar 10, 2022 Full Review Christopher James AwardsCircuit.com Season 2 maintains much of that fun. While the characters are still engaging, the central mystery fails to capture the lightning in a bottle intrigue that kicked off season 1. Rated: 3/4 Oct 30, 2018 Full Review Eneko Ruiz Jimenez El Pais (Spain) Riverdale embraces madness, salting and debauchery without inhibiting, without the soap opera being half-full.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/23 Full Review Shermaya W Season two was a slight dip in quality compared to the first season but still, it wasn't bad and the plot was interesting to follow with a pretty iconic villain twist at the end Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/23 Full Review Rogue 5 This season is good it has a dark story to it but they gave the characters more depth when it wasn't needed.
