I've only watched the first half of the first season of Riverdale (and probably won't ever watch more), so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I did see, Twin Peaks was exactly the comparison I thought of. Not that they're of similar quality, of course.

Yeah that’s what I always viewed it as. Twin Peaks always walked a fine line for me of “is this bad on purpose or is it just bad”

Twin Peaks definitely leaned into the shitty soap opera aspects, even lampooning itself a bit with the in-show soap opera you saw bits of, but it only got bad-bad in the second half of the second season.
