“Sobbed my heart out”: Riverdale Finale Has Internet Tearing Up at a ‘Beautiful Farewell’ Worthy of the CW Show
Riverdale is one of those series that is difficult to discuss in isolation. A series that seemed like a satire of industry trends was used by the CW to fill a gap in its midyear programming schedule six and a half years ago. The show brought Archie Comics characters Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones, and company to life.
After having seven successful seasons, the CW teen drama has finally aired its last episode and ended its long journey. Throughout the season, the storyline of the show takes some very unpredictable turns, from time jumps and parallel universes to fake deaths and sacrificial offerings. People have seen everything on Riverdale, and despite its unimpressive storyline after several seasons, there has been a loyal fan base who have loved the show no matter what. As the show ends its six-and-a-half-year journey, fans tear up after watching the finale.
It’s a Goodbye for Riverdale
Finally, Riverdale High says goodbye to the students as they graduate. The famous CW show Riverdale aired in 2017 and instantly caught viewers’ attention with its twisted plot. After seven seasons, the adored web series aired its final episode on August 23.
Throughout its seven seasons, Riverdale plots have astonished and frequently perplexed audiences on several occasions. Goodbye, Riverdale, the series finale’s fitting title, was no exception. The series based on Archie Comics starred KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, Casey Cott, and many others.
In the show’s final episode, the teen drama jumps ahead 67 years. Betty, who is 86 years old, gets a chance to revisit one day of her choice, and she chooses the last day of her senior year. The show then takes the viewers through a series of memories from the day as everyone talks about their future. It is revealed that Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead are all dating one another.
Archie started working in construction, Betty published magazines, Jughead started a humor publication, and Veronica became a producer in Hollywood. The teen drama ends on an emotional note making fans tear with the end.
Fans’emotional farewell to Riverdale
Riverdale has had some truly crazy episodes over the years, but the series finale will go down as one of the show’s best. The show revolved around the core four: Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead, and despite not getting their favorite pair together, fans bid an emotional farewell to the show.
They took to X to share their thoughts after watching the finale. A fan wrote, “Sobbed my heart out.” It was followed by various other emotional messages.
I sobbed my heart out when I first watched the Riverdale series finale. It’s a beautiful farewell to the show and it’s wonderful characters.
