Because it was super predictable and forced. I felt that he and Betty lack any chemistry whatsoever (and tbh, I think that extends to the comics as well since they're both super bland together even in the originals, but at least there it's just a goofy comedy there so I don't really care about chemistry......but Riverdale is an actual mystery-drama show, so...). I think the show was much better when it mostly settled on Ronnie/Archie and Jughead/Betty, which I thought both pairings felt more natural and interesting than falling back on the tropes of the comics.

Sort of. They did a weird multi-dimensional thing where he got blown up but then un-blown up. I think they were trying to be like Twin Peaks for a minute but the writers weren't really up to the task.

Jesus Christ. These hacks really need to leave the David Lynching to David Lynch.
