The Cw: Last News

Riverdale aired its season finale this past August, the once-popular series wasn’t exactly the talk of the town like it used to be.But the long-running teen drama proved it still knew how to get people buzzing when it signed off with one final “WTF?” moment to end all “WTF?” moments: It revealed its central four characters—Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead—spent their senior year in a polyamorous “quad” relationship.Yes, Riverdale was a far cry from the wholesome, straight-laced Archie Comics it was based on, but the gag paid off—suddenly, everyone was tweeting about how wild the show was again!—albeit with some divisive reactions…While some praised the series for its poly inclusiveness and the bold gambit to satisfy its various factions of “endgame” ‘shippers, others either lambasted the cheap thrill of it all or claimed it didn’t go far enough.
