Riverdale Preview Embraces Its Twin Peaks Lineage and Goes Lynchian

For The CW's Riverdale, an episode paying homage to all things David Lynch seems a long time coming, since the whole tone and vibe of the series wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the lasting impact of Twin Peaks. On top of that, they've had "Shelly Johnson" (Madchen Amick) as part of their cast since the jump. That said, the show's giving viewers the perfect set-up for such a turn. We have shady videotapes, with one showing a brutal murder. Star-crossed lovers tempting fate with their hidden passion. High school students doing shady things. In fact, the only thing we need this week in "Chapter Seventy-Five: Lynchian" is Jughead (Cole Sprouse) talking to "Diane" into his digital recorder (wanted to be quirky and current). Here's a very brief look at what you can expect this week, followed by an overview of the episode:
