At this point, I can't tell if this season is crazier than season 1 or if I just need time to readjust, but I cannot get over that scene at Thistle House.

Instead of scandalously turning after-school specials on their head, this episode simply goes straight after-school special with one of its major stories.

3/5

The youthful sexiness of Riverdale's main ensemble rightly gets a lot of attention, but I don't want us to overlook the veritable Justice League of Hot Dads that the show has managed to assemble.

Riverdale is doing an incredible job at subverting the concept of the girl/boy-next-door. The truth is, Betty never needed a wig to go to the "dark." To be quite honest, Betty scares me and she should scare you too.

Cool to see comics mainstay Midge make her Riverdale debut. Bummer that she died.
