Riverdale: 10 Craziest Moments (So Far)
Amidst all the serial killers and cults, it's easy to forget that these kids go to high school.
When Riverdale first appeared on our screens in 2016, no one could have predicted how much darkness would be drawn to this small, all-American town. The murder of Jason Blossom horrified Riverdale's residents, but this simple whodunnit was just a warm-up for all the craziness to come.
Riverdale is now home to serial killers, gang wars, and an organ-stealing cult. It's a show that must sound bizarre to non-watchers - and that's not unfair. Even those of us who watch the show are still wondering how that whole Gargoyle King debacle happened.
You may be asking yourself how so many bad things can happen in such a small town, but the real question is how can these high-schoolers cope with it all? Now into its fourth season, Archie, Veronica, Betty, and Jughead have somehow managed to make it into their senior year. With ominous flash-forwards teasing that they may have murdered Jughead, will they ever graduate? Or are we being played?
There is no doubt that Riverdale has plenty more bizarre moments up its sleeve. For now, let's recount the 10 craziest moments on the show so far...
10. Archie Creates The 'Red Circle' Gang (Season 2)
When the Black Hood came to town - one of Riverdale's many serial killers - Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) was one of those most personally affected. The Black Hood killed both Miss Grundy - Archie's ex-girlfriend and music-teacher - and attempted to kill Archie's dad, Fred.
Feeling that the Police department weren't doing enough, Archie took matters into his own hands and created the 'Red Circle' gang. This was basically the high-school football team donning red balaclavas. The 'Red Circle' gang promised to protect the residents of Riverdale but the whole thing was put to bed after a few episodes.
It wasn't difficult for parents and teachers to figure out who was in the gang so it's a wonder what they aimed to achieve. Archie continues to make stupid choices in the show as well. His biggest decision used to be deciding whether to pursue football or music, but even now in Season Four, Archie is still on his testosterone-fuelled crusade to save the world.
There's no denying that Archie is buff - it seems to be a prerequisite in Riverdale - but no matter how he chooses to implement his brute strength, it's never going to fix all of Riverdale's problems.
