*1/7/20 update: The CW has renewed Riverdale for a fifth season.
Anyway still watching this daddy issue show?! I gave up after season 2. Totally garbage.
I’m still watching it. Season 4 and daddy issues still all over this ****. And of course Veronica calls her dad daddy even though he done so much **** to her. She even feels sad for him.
Honestly this show didn’t improve in season 3 and 4 in fact in some ways I’d say it got even worse.
