Chapter Forty-Two: The Man in Black

Sure this season doesn't have the essence it had back in season 1&2,but the gargoyle king mystery is so good.With each episode of season 3 comes an amazing shocking ending. This episode so far has the most shocking ending this season.The First two stories(Archie & Jughead and Veronica)were very nice ,i would like to see where they'll go.The Betty story was very shocking i could barely breathe,the twist at the end was just nice.It really keeps you wondering how dangerous and manipulative the gargoyle king is.The best part is that this season is about an ocult mystery,not magical stuff due to the new sabrina tv show.This season is very entertaining and i hope the reveal of the gargoyle king's identity is more shocking than that of the black hood and jason blossom's killer.

'The Man in Black' is a beautifully crafted episode which is divided seamlessly to 3 different but same story- One for Archie and Jughead,One for Veronica and the last for Betty. This episode had something that just clicked for me personally. The acting and directing was top notch. All the stories in this episode were beautifully weaved together. This season which started rough around the edges is starting to feel polished and more structured.

So overall I am very impressed and recommend this show and episode.

When season 3 began a lot of people were confused and worried about where the show was going ! But after each episode it just gets more and more interesting. Loved the 3 seperate story's all very strong !!

The Man in Black starts off good with Archie and Jughead hitting the road. Veronica's side of episode is also good and lastly Betty's was also good. A very good Riverdale episode in a very long time.
