Riverdale: When Jumping the Shark is not enough

 So, Archie's Creek has slowly been turning into Scooby-Doo and now it's transitioning into a Supernatural wannabe. It's not necessarily good, but it's not necessarily bad. 

I've already said that this is an awful adaptation of Archie. It has been a weird trip. Going from a Dawson's Creek copy with an Archie skin to, I don't even know what the Hell is this show now. With each season they kept pushing the envelope with more outlandish crap. Now we're at alternate realities, the Devil, crossovers with Sabrina. To be fair, the crossovers with Sabrina have been done on the comics and cartoons. 

Half the stuff that Riverdale has done during their seasons would be "shark jumping" moments on other shows, but for some reason THEY WORK on Riverdale. They SHOULDN'T WORK they just do. Hell, I think the only reason it works is because of it being a bizarre bastardization of Archie... especially since Archie is already a bizarre source Material.

This was actually a thing.

Archie has also met Predator, Batman, the TMNT, hell, he even survived a Sharknado... shit, all these crossovers make Riverdale seem tame in comparison, despite its "I'm trying to be edgier than Zack Snyder" nature.
