Jughead ( Cole Sprouse) went from lovable outcast… to gang member. Archie’s best friend this season has been Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos). The real-life friendship between Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes (who play Betty and Veronica, respectively) is infinitely more compelling than “B and V.” It’s been 20 episodes, and Betty and Veronica have barely hung out.Īnd the guys are just as bad. And yet how many moments can you recall from this season? Doesn’t it mostly feel like a blur? Season two has had 20 friggin’ hour-long episodes. I enjoyed seeing Cheryl and Betty work together toward a common goal, but it just made me realize there hasn’t been enough of that this season. After all, who knows more about murderous fathers than Cheryl Blossom? Meanwhile, Veronica ( Camila Mendes) is entertaining potential suitors from other prominent crime families… even though she has a boyfriend? This isn’t really explained in the episode.īetty ( Lili Reinhart) suspects her father is the Black Hood, and decides to enlist Cheryl’s help in her investigation. In this week’s episode, the mayoral campaign is heating up as the town prepares for the debate.

In season two, our characters are gang members, affiliated with the mafia and accomplices to murder (!). What can they really take from Riverdale? In season one our main characters were football players, cheerleaders, musicians, journalists… and they were actually teenagers who went to parties and had fun! High school is a r̶e̶p̶r̶e̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ distant memory for me, but I’m thinking of the viewers who are 18 and younger. I know TV is subjective, but these kids are supposed to be our avatars. “Shadow of a Doubt” was an interesting one. We’ve come a long way from the days of football, Archie’s ( KJ Apa) music, the River Vixens and Josie & The Pussycats.
