Riverdale Season 6 Episode 10
“Stranger things have happened in Riverdale”
With word of Riverdale being renewed for a seventh season, one question hangs heavily in the air: How long can this series carry on its shenanigans? This recent batch of episodes alone has brought us plot points that include everything from witchcraft to (coming soon!) time travel, leading viewers and this writer to wonder is anything beyond the pale here? Seeing how some cast members of the CW stalwart have hinted at how they’re ready to wrap things up once next season — and their contracts, probably — finishes, it is not wrong to want to cherish every remaining episode like a gift. Because friends, there will never be a another program like this one.
From the start everything about Riverdale has been off-kilter. It’s based on the Archie humor comics but isn’t intentionally funny.

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 11
"Forget it Jughead, it's Riverdale."
Say what you will about Riverdale, but one thing the show never shies away from is a willingness to experiment with its formula. Just like last season's musical installment or the recent flashback episode, "The Black Dahlia" had the show shaking up the status quo by doing its own take on film noir. Thematically, this is the easily most succesful genre homage to date because it so skillfully adapts itself to Jughead's hard boiled (and often deeply silly) narration. Thusly, the following monologue which opened up this latest chapter:
"Riverdale. Once a safe, decent, innocent place had become Noirtown. Like the setting of a Raymond Chandler story -- filled with dames to kill for, postmen who like to ring twice, and more mobsters than a Scorcese retrospective at the Bijou.
