Honestly, the most interesting developments this week have nothing to do with Archie and his ragtag group of friends. It's their parents, particularly Alice, Fred, and F.P. that make this episode so engrossing. Go to Full Review Brian Moylan New York Magazine/Vulture 04/20/2017
3/5
It is great to see Alice Cooper's mask finally crack. The raving lunatic we all knew was hiding underneath finally comes out to play for a bit. Go to Full Review Maggie Fremont Entertainment Weekly 04/20/2017

Only in Riverdale would a baby shower be more frightening than a construction site brawl or a visit to a gang bar. Go to Full Review Amy Watts Baltimore Sun 11/04/2017
Mrs. Cooper tries desperately to convince her daughter that when they sent her away to the home for unwed mothers, they never wanted her to feel alone, unwanted or unloved. Well, that's a swing and a miss on all three, eh? Go to Full Review Dave Nemetz TV Line 10/10/2017
Will we find out who killed Jason by season's end? Or will they leave us hanging, Twin Peaks-style? (Note to the producers: Please don't leave us hanging. You don't want to follow in the footsteps of Twin Peaks Season 2, do you?) Go to Full Review Mae Abdulbaki The Young Folks 08/30/2017

The Outsiders felt more like a transitional episode that stopped to sort out everyone's feelings about certain situations, but left out other aspects and developments. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
