Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Riverdale Season 7 is worth clearing space for.

He has no idea how he got there, nor how to get back to the present. His friends are no help, as they are living seemingly authentic lives, similar to their classic Archie Comics counterparts, unaware that they’ve ever been anywhere but the 1950's. KJ Apa and Lili Reinhart lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2023. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Riverdale Season 7 passes that test consistently. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.
