it's good that riverdale is gonna end. First season was ist good, since then it got worse and weird.
Now after accusing Archie of shooting her dad after all the shit he put Archie through. Veronica acted like he was a monster. Now she thinks it’s her mom.
Not to mention that she knows her “daddy” is a bastard and what he is capable of. I guess she’s afraid he didn’t get a chance to do his will.
Not to mention that no one bothered to ask why Archie just happened to have a gun lol.
Highly cringeworthy episode when it comes to Veronica as this sort of crimelord in film noir style villain vibe... ugh. Jughead as a detective, no thank you. I think they push the teen characters too much into adult roles whereas the adults all behave like children.
I am glad this episode focused a bit more on the adults, Hermione and Penelope have some juicy secrets.
Weird ass writing. Just when I thought it was starting to make sense again.
Welp that was boring. I can't keep up with this anymore. WHY AM I STILL WATCHING THIS SOMEONE PLEASE STOP ME
Once again, for the second episode in a row, they bring back a character we thought and have been told is dead (Minetta), have him barely contribute anything, then kill him off for real. WHY?! It serves no purpose!
It makes no sense that Jughead is suddenly a noire detective, and also all the adults treat it seriously. Why would they do that? But it's just the writers thinking a noire parody would be cute, without actually putting any thought to it past that.
There was a fucking maple leaf on the door. It was a brothel. Penelope Blossom previously ran a brothel out of her own house. You really couldn't connect those giant dots on your own? Seriously?
Also, that sexually charged encounter between Jughead and Hermione at the end was fucking weird. Remember, Jughead is 16.
Smithers fought in World War II? How old is he supposed to be? What? This makes no sense!
Archie went to literally kill Hiram, then instead shoots another person who was about to kill Hiram. Why? Just let that guy shoot Hiram. Problem solved. Where the hell did Archie get a gun, by the way?
Fred is not nearly concerned enough that his 16 year-old son is an alcoholic. This is not a normal situation.
This felt like a very neat deus ex machina ?????
They really leaned into the noir/hard-boiled theme this episode and it was... fine.

Why did they have to borrow such a rom-com version of a 1940's detective show? Their attempt at a bit of originality was... less than original.
