Riverdale ugh

Welp, I finished up Riverdale last night. There were a lot of things I did like (example: Cheryl is actually one of the most sympathetic characters on the whole show), but overall I found the season disappointing for a few easily fixable reasons:
1. In thirteen episodes, Sabrina makes zero appearances.
2. This version of Jughead is not ace. Or, at least, hasn't figured it out yet. He still could, and the writers might do it justice, but for now . . . he's dating Betty and seems to be genuinely in love with her. I know his asexuality has only been "official" since 2015 (fans have theorized for years), but ace characters barely exist in any fiction, so it's quite a wasted opportunity for representation.
P.S. He only ate like one hamburger onscreen all season.
3. The season ends with someone getting shot. Which may sound dramatic, but trust me, after thirteen episodes of "omg look how Dark we are," it's not.
