It's literally Twin Peaks 90210. The references are not subtle.

I just told my husband what people have been saying about it, and he had a question.

Good god. Did they lace the writing room cocaine with acid? Or were they all writing on speedballs?

Knowing at least one ex writer on the show I would say you’re not far off. Maybe not in the writers room but not far from it haha.

Current writers just had Jughead take shrooms to try to get over his writer's block, so, yeah.

Mädchen Amick is in the main cast so it’s hard not to make that association regardless of how unsubtle it is haha

Funnily enough, Mädchen Amick ( Shelly the waitress from Twin Peaks) plays Betty Coopers mom in Riverdale.

So I've never seen Riverdale but in my head canon now Riverdale is a sister city to Twin Peaks.
