Riverdale's flashback episode

I loved Lili as young Alice. She easily looks the most like her onscreen parent and she just nailed it, overall. I think she’s one of the stronger actors of the “kids”.

KJ surprised me. I really thought that was a bad move when I heard about it, but I don’t hate the result.

Madeline disappointed me. She looks a lot like her on screen mother but her performance was surprisingly underwhelming.

Camille was whatever as Hermione. And they didn’t even try with her outfit (why was she dressed as a Catholic school girl when she goes to public school?)

Cole just played Jughead in a letter jacket. I saw no difference.

Young Hiram looked like adult Hiram, because they’re actually father and son. But he wasn’t given much to do so whatever.

I guess de-aging technology would have been ideal, but I adored this episode overall. The actors really seemed to be digging playing their “parents” as teens, and that really showed. It was clear they were having fun, which made the episode fun even with all of its faults.
