Neither one does anything for Archie's character, but at least the second would have given Hiram some momentum.Īrchie then becomes a member of an underground prison fight club and escapes and goes on the run. I think it would have been a lot better if they would've just found him guilty. The jury was split even so he had a pretty good chance at winning, but decided to plead guilty so his family wouldn't have to deal with the trial. It felt a little lazy to me, and I didn't think it make a whole lot of sense. The only low point for me is when Archie decides to plead guilty to a murder he didn't commit. I thought it was interesting and I was excited about the season. They introduced The Gargoyle King and they had kids dying. Season 3 picks up right where season 2 left off. It really struggles at times, but it's also great at times. In fact, it only barely manages to be that. I thought it was just enough to make season 3 OK, but nothing more. Moments I loved, but they were so few and far and between. Consistency was hard to come by.įortunately, season 3 of Riverdale has its moments.


It does this throughout the entirety of the season. It picks back up for an episode or two, but only to go right back down. The first few episodes were good, but then it goes downhill. The season also really struggled to gain and build up momentum. I'm positive it would have been ten times better if they would have cut it down to maybe 13 episodes. Even if it meant filling the season with a ton of pointless junk. It felt like they tried their hardest to make sure they had 22 episodes. The opening recap, Jughead's narration, and the last 2 minutes were the only real thing of value. I found a lot of the episodes to be pretty pointless. There was a ton of filler in this season.
