Finally, we're getting some really strong, cogent storytelling and character development for Cheryl and Toni. Go to Full Review Molly Fitzpatrick Entertainment Weekly Mar 21, 2019
4/5
From the very beginning, Riverdale's second musical episode does not disappoint. Go to Full Review Charles Bramesco AV Club Mar 21, 2019
