I thought it was a return to form. Much better than the last 2 style wise and tidied up a lot of loose ends. Also just the right amount of Riverdale crazy.

Yeah guys thought it was fantastic also. A really slick and cool film noir-esque take on Riverdale that was almost hypnotically good.
Riverdale back on form. Anyone who's dropped the show should watch this new one. Would probably get you back on-board.

I watch on the CW so I check in next day. I am also still reeling from the dumb last week. Holy shit.
Seriously. I imagine the film noir stuff would get kind of exhausting after a full season, but it's so much better than what we got for the past several months.
I imagine I'd be lost after skipping the last four episodes of stupid.
All you really need to know is Archie got attacked by a bear out in Canada, somehow didn't die, then came back to Riverdale super emo and pissed everyone off, and then Hiram got shot by a mysterious unknown sniper.
Did they people who enjoyed this week's like last week's? Because last week I nearly jumped off this hilariously stupid train.
I even rewatched the first episode of S1 again recently to reassure myself that I'm not crazy about the precipitous decline in the show's quality.

That's a universal sentiment. After S1 the show got a double episode count, and the showrunner started doing other things. You can identify the exact moment the show fell apart; when he jumped ship to work on Sabrina.
Last week was awful. This one may have been stupid, but at least it was stupid with a consistent tone and concept. The last couple of weeks have been full-on flailing octopus mode.
Which is a shame, because Sabrina isn't so good to justify the decline in Riverdale's quality. I'd rather have one great show than two okay shows.
To be honest, I think doubling the episode count did more damage than Sabrina.
Usually Riverdale still manages to be good when Aguirro-Sacasa returns to write an episode. Tales from The Darkside in S2 was phenomenal, and was like what I wanted Sabrina to be.
I completely forgot this was on last night and everyone is saying it was good, figures. I'll watch it later on tonight then.
Man this show is so bad now. Also if you want more screen time on it just date one of the actors it seems. Reggie is still in more of the show than Cheryl
Quality of Riverdale is directly related to the amount of Cheryl. The more Cheryl, the better the show.
Loved the episode. Everything is better when they lean into the zaniness.
I still don't understand Veronica though. She's all over the place with her motivations.

Woah, this week's episode was actually really good. After the last few episodes I'm just all sorts of stunned right now that they could pull something out like this but yeah so many mysteries raveling, and being answered, thankfully.
Although god damn Archie is just so insufferable augh, like what even is he. At least it ended off on a better note for him, and getting along with Hiram would clear one of the worst recurring aspects of the show since Season 2. But then I can't really trust Hiram to stick to it, and Archie could just go off and be stupid without him anyways...

the parents have had more screen time than she has and she had a 1/3rd of a episode just for her
i'll take everything stupid about Archie over anything Jughead
I definitely know not to expect anything from the show at this point lol.
The last 2 episodes were awful and nearly made me consider quitting, it seemed like the show was going in an even stupider, even more unfocused direction. And not in the usual entertaining way
But this episode was sooo good. So many callbacks to previous events, so many plot twists. I feel like the slate has been wiped clean for the next arc now.
Archie is still so goddamn pointless though, he needs some kind of direction because at the moment he's just a deadbeat idiot and now he seems to have his eyes set Josie literally 2 minutes after breaking up with Veronica, like eurgh
How can the main character still be so pointless and annoying 3 seasons in?

Saw this going around on Facebook. Seems about right.
That's awesome!
The show used to be top priority viewing but it's slowly losing me. This is the first time I waited a few days because I couldn't be bothered watching it. Cutting the episode count to 16 next season would be a good start, followed by a shift in the writing. Is it just me or are Riverdale's storylines less grounded than Sabrina's?
Someone might jump ship to the spin-off, and I can't blame her

Probably for the best. When I saw the spinoff summary I knew she would move. She's really not doing anything on the show. Actually outside of the core 4 no one is really doing anything much.
She's an Archie-verse character.
Fashion model in NYC. She and her fabulous artistic friends all trying to live their dreams in the big city.
You and me both. Give me more weird shit and borderline-supernatural nonsense.
Riverdale fell off a cliff and Sabrina was mostly mediocre, so I don't even know why I'd give a third show from these hacks a try.
I had to google who Sierra and Tom were, but it ended up not being a terrible episode.
Archie and Josie being a thing, for like the next 2 episodes, was telegraphed hard last week.
