Chapter One: The River's Edge Ratings & Reviews
Mashable
Sydney Bucksbaum
The CW's version of the bratty, elitist rich girl from the comics is that [Camila] Mendes has been given the green light to fully humanize Veronica. Where she was once evil and manipulative in the comics, now she's empathetic.
CBR
Albert Ching
"Riverdale" manages to do some surprising things with these characters.
Observer
Ben Philippe
There are enough pieces for Riverdale to pass the midtown replacement test - even if the pilot perhaps killed the wrong ginger boy.
The Daily Dot
Gavia Baker-Whitelaw
It may be a gritty reboot, but it's not actually subverting anything.
The Young Folks
Mae Abdulbaki
Riverdale is a bit weird, but in a good way.
Refinery29
Angelica Jade Bastién
Riverdale, CW's bold reimagining of the long running Archie comics, brings all the contradictory, lurid aspects of adolescence to the surface with a dark edge.
Nerdist
Wendy Okoi-Obuli
We've seen this formula before and when it's done right, it works great. Riverdale is doing it right. So far.
Paste Magazine
Kyle Fowle
"Chapter One: The River's Edge" taps into ... feelings of promise, anxiety and hopeful soul-searching, and that's a solid foundation for Riverdale to build on.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Meredith Borders
In style, color, tone, score and even plot, the Riverdale pilot brings to mind the first episode of Twin Peaks with great clarity.
AV Club
LaToya Ferguson
Knowledge of previous teen dramas certainly makes Riverdale feel more complete, but outside of that, Riverdale succeeds just by being different from The CW's current programming and even Freeform's or MTV's.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Molly Fitzpatrick
Looks like we've got ourselves a murder mystery, folks!
Entertainment Weekly
Marc Snetiker
I'll continue rewatching how [Veronica] takes down Cheryl -- "You wanted fire? My specialty's ice" -- in what I can only describe as fabulously brutal and brutally fabulous.
TV Fanatic
Justin Carreiro
The tone is slower, the colors are darker, and the characters have their own wants and desires. This is a juicy mystery served like a soda pop at Pop Tate's Chock'lit Shoppe.
IGN Movies
Joshua Yehl
An eerie, sharply-executed pilot gets Riverdale off to a strong start.
FILMINK (Australia)
Travis Johnson
Riverdale looks like it'll be a nice place to visit for a few seasons.
Film School Rejects
Christopher Campbell
I'm curiously on board and trying to catch my bearings one episode in ... maybe Archie will finally have a show last more than one season.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
There's still some growing pains that need to be worked out. The good news is there's enough of an interesting foundation here that it's worth a passing grade for now.
