Parallel Storylines FTW !

This was an interesting take and storytelling of a dark tale. It's good how makers of Riverdale are trying to experiment without compromising on the roots it all started from.

Tales from the Darkside (#2.07)

Warning: Spoilers
The town remains on edge after a chilling letter from the Black Hood challenges the town's residents to remain sinless for 48 hours, or he'll strike again. On one dark night, Jughead is called in by Penny Peabody to return her favor, and must recruit Archie for help; Cheryl helps Josie with her music career, until things begin to spiral when Josie receives some mysterious letters; Betty and Veronica investigate a suspicion about Sheriff Keller.

This was a phenomenal episode. It showed tremendous character development and was atmospherically gripping and dark. Major props for the cinematography. I loved the concept of parallel storylines, all taking place during the same night, but with different deadly outcomes. Having them all brought together at different booth's at Pop's was phenomenally done and beautifully shot. One of the best of the season.

Nope.

I hated this episode.

Disjointed scenes, dream sequences & poorly constructed narratives, all made for confusing viewing.

Some scenes seemed totally over-acted & off-character. I had the sneakiest of suspicions that this 2nd season was vying more toward Scream Queens instead of being akin to Scream:The Series or Pretty Little Liars (earlier seasons), but this episode was such a mishmash it's difficult to tell anymore. Choppy in direction, jumping scene to scene in a less-than congruent fashion just made this episode seem thrown together instead of carefully planned or thought out. 4/10

B O R I N G AF. If you skip fine minutes every two minutes it's ok but DON'T spend almost an hour watching this episode (chapter twenty)
