The Hills Have Eyes (#2.14)
audaciousness31 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I loved this episode. It was wonderfully campy a la Riverdale, but also emotionally grounded and powerful. I loved seeing friend and relationship dynamics explored and tested, as well as finally giving Cheryl, Toni, Moose, Kevin, and Midge some overdue screen-time. I was beyond happy to have Cheryl confide her secret in Toni. Finally, so much about her character makes sense.

I love how Riverdale is establishing increasingly high stakes this season, showing us how Archie is falling in deeper and deeper with the Lodges, the extent of which is unbeknownst even to Veronica. This entire Archie/Hiram plot is brilliant and perfect for a campy, tense, and soapy show like Riverdale.

Wow... Talk about shameless self-promotion...

Otherwise, this would've been about an 8.5...ehh 9 for the series. With a really good getaway for the Archie/Veronica and Betty/Jughead couples; with a really good chance to explore those relationships... However; exec producer Greg Berlanti has his directed film "Love, Simon" (about a homosexual boy coming out of the closet) overly saturating the side story... with who (either already in or out) is going with who to see the (actual) "it" movie... and considering the episode aired March 7th, with commercials advertising "advance screenings" on March 10th, when the actual release date of the film is March 15th.... if there were a "middle finger" trophy; you'd win for this one, Mr. Berlanti.
