Riverdale Season 2 Episode 1 "A Kiss Before Dying" Review


Fred's life hangs in the balance following the shooting; Veronica's father arrives into town; Jughead and Betty question the gunman's true motives.

This was a really entertaining and interesting episode that did a great job of showing how all the main characters dealt with the event in the last episode. Archie was really interesting in this episode because to watch how damaged and wrecked he is and how everyone was there for him but the most important one being Veronica not really knowing how to help him because she is not the comforting kind of person. Then the ending of this episode for Archie was also interesting with doing everything he could think of to try and protect his father from the gunman's possible return, which I think is going to be a plot point in future episodes which is Archie being so tired from staying up all night looking after his father and things get a little weird because he is so tired. Then the moments with Betty and Jughead were really great with them investigating more into what actually happened at the dinner and them discovery that is wasn’t a robbery because the gunman didn’t take any money. Then the relationship now between Betty and Jughead is really interesting with Betty worrying that Jughead is going to become a Southside Serpents. Then Jughead working with the Serpents is really interesting with him sort of toeing the line between being a member and not and I’m curious to see how long he can hold that balancing act up. Then the moments with Cheryl were really great with her threatening her mother to keep what actually happened at the mansion fire a secret otherwise bad things will happen. The moments with Fred were really great with all the different dream sequences he went through that showed all the things he would miss if he died right here, and it was really sweet because all of it involved Archie. Then the ending was amazing with Miss Grundy showing up again and getting killed by what looked like the same gunman who shot Fred and I'm very curious to see when her murder will get connected back to Riverdale and how Archie will take her death.  And just overall this was a really entertaining and great first episode and I so excited to see where they will go from here.
