Riverdale gets really ridiculous and we’re having an extra good time with it (with some big caveats). We discuss Hiram’s strange plan, Archie trying to get himself killed, connections to East of Eden and Death of a Salesman, Veronica’s big casino night, the haphazard storytelling of the Sisters of Quiet Mercy and the history of women’s incarceration, and spotty character writing.
