Episodes 4-7 of Riverdale form a beautiful narrative arc of their own, in a metatextual sense. The Necessary Evil. The Surreal Palate Cleanser. The Return to Form. And now, The Really God Damned Good Episode.
"In a Lonely Place" is a shocking step up in structural discipline and focus and emotional resonance and we daresay the first time Riverdale's script and talent level assets have matched its technical merits. We're not gonna get crazy and assume the show is just this good, now, forever, but we're glad to sit back and enjoy a thoroughly good episode of television.
