What have the ratings been for 'Riverdale' Season 6 so far?
According to another report from TVLine, most of Season 6's episodes so far have been averaging 560,000 viewers, with the show ranking at number 16 out of the 19 dramas on the CW's fall/winter 2021 roster.
Season 6 of Riverdale has a 60 percent on the Rotten Tomatoes "tomatometer" rating, based on five critics reviews. Fans haven't been so kind, granting Season 6 an average audience score of 45 percent (this average is based on 47 Rotten Tomatoes user ratings).
James Whitbrook of Gizmodo argued that Riverdale Season 6 would be even better if the show embraced the wild aspects of the source material even more.
He wrote, "Riverdale itself just embracing the utter [wildness] of the source material, especially when it’s done such a grand job of being so [wild] itself previously, is more of a lateral move than some huge leap. Screw it, have the Predator show up or something! Hell, make that new comic real and have comics Archie meet Riverdale Archie! Now that’d be fun."
Season 6 episodes of Riverdale air on Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on the CW.
