Riverdale: Ranking All The Main Characters From Worst To Best

14. Hiram Lodge

Back in season one, Hiram Lodge worked wonders, but that's only because he hadn't turned up on screen yet. Before his season two debut, Hiram was a shady, frequently mentioned bad guy, the shady father of Veronica who would, inevitably, become one of the show's main villains down the line.

As a mysterious presence everyone seemed scared of back in the show's debut, he worked. Come season two, when he actually turned up, he was nothing but a flat and unengaging villain who hasn't been given any time to grow as a character.

Though Mark Consuelos is okay in the role, trying his damnedest to chew through the lackluster material his character is given, Hiram is still exactly as he was when he arrived on the show: the villain. Only, his whole shady bad guy act has now become stale and painfully repetitive, and the threat he once posed is well and truly gone.

There could be something deeper there, but we've yet to see it.
