Riverdale Season 2 Episode 11 "Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wrestler" Review


Archie joins the wrestling team to get closer to Hiram; Jughead digs up shocking details about Riverdale's past; Betty unearths some dark secrets about Chic.

This was a really interesting and weird episode that seemed way too weird and there was so much unimportant stuff going on that made very little next to no sense as to why it needed to be in this episode. Everything around Archie joining the wrestling team in order to win over Hiram was alright because it was cheesy and fully in the mode of the storyline used over and over again about the boyfriend trying to win over the girlfriends father. The only parts that didn't make much sense to me were near the end when Hiram's opinion of Archie just seemed to quickly change once Hiram discovered what Archie did to Nick. The Veronica's whole part in this made no sense because I couldn't understand by the way she was acting if she wanted her father to know that Archie is doing all this for him or not. Betty and Chic were alright because it was mostly about them learning more about each other and Betty's father, not approving of Chic being there. The only part that seemed really confusing was how overdramatic they acted about finding out that Chic is actually a camboy and it was put out there as being this big dark and evil thing. I wish they would have done more with Cheryl because in this episode she discovered this big secret about her family and how they got their land and it was brushed off so lightly with only one small moment of her being upset and then the next moment she was back to normal like it was nothing. The moment with Jughead were just way to overdone with him doing a report and finding out that the Blossom family hired a group of people to murder and kick out all the native people of the land and he decided to go all out with this news letting everyone know about it multiple ways and didn't really seem to care about anyone's feelings. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was interesting to watch and see how everything turned out.
