“

 Riverdale

, it's really got busted, but I'm still going to watch.

I do not know why.

"In a tweet, this user sums up the fans' report to the series.

In four seasons, the

teen show

has become a guilty pleasure, brilliant for some, nothing for others.

And everyone is watching.

While the first episode of season 5 is available Friday on Netflix, it's time to take stock, especially since the series has its work to do between suspended filming, time jump and love triangle.

The mystery of videotapes

Introduced at the start of season 4, the VHS plot deposited in front of the houses of Riverdale seemed to have been forgotten by the writers, before making a resounding return at the end of the season.

Indeed, they stage, or rather re-stage, the most famous murders of Riverdale, by masked individuals.

Masks with the effigy of our teenage heroes.

The mystery, then, is who this band of

Scream

murderers is

.

If the fans have any theories (Ethel? Chic?), No certainty yet, or even no clue.

With the stop of filming because of the health crisis, this mystery which was to end season 4 finally opens the 5 for three episodes.

Three episodes which will also mark the end of high school, of course with the prom.

A seven-year jump in time

In order not to have to manage the post-high school, always delicate in a

teen show

, the showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa made a radical decision and voted for the time jump.

A jump of seven years.

In episode 4, the spectators will thus find their favorite characters in new situations, configurations, loves?

It was able to do without things in seven years, and the series intends to have fun with the expectations and the nerves of the fans.

We already know that a character will be married, another pregnant, and others will have taken the opportunity to leave, such as Jughead's father, played by Skeet Ulrich.

Actress Marisol Nichols had also announced her departure from the series, before reconsidering her decision.

Hermione, Veronica's mother, will therefore be there.

The Jughead / Betty / Archie love triangle

Dawson

had only waited two seasons before exploring Joey and Pacey's relationship, much to Dawson's chagrin.

If one could expect an equivalent narrative and sentimental spring in

Riverdale

, the series had never been there, preserving for several years the couples Jughead / Betty and Archie / Veronica.

Until the end of season 4. Indeed, the time of an episode and a kiss, Archie and Betty have pretended to be together, to be in love.

Seemingly, really?

If everything has returned to normal since then, each exchange of glances is heavy with meaning, and it is a safe bet that their feelings, and the love triangle or even square that goes with it, will be explored this season 5. No, we don't. not looking forward at all.

But at all.

In fact, it's just awesome
