![]() So right away you can see that the show is going to have very, very little in common with its 90s predecessor, but still keeps the core characters (including Salem who’s Sabrina’s familiar and who is a total badass even though he doesn’t “talk”) and introduces some new ones, like her cousin Ambrose (not sure if perhaps he’s in the original comics) who flesh out the family even more. Sabrina and her aunts run a mortuary and belong to a coven called The Church of Night and Sabrina is approaching her 16th birthday where she will undergo her “dark baptism” and become a full fledged witch and pledge herself to the dark lord, leaving her mortal half behind. I guess even in darker witch stories I’ve read they’ve never just casually thrown around praises like “Thank Satan” so that was a bit shocking for me at first lol. However it did take me a minute to adjust to the fact that the show’s depiction was full on, actual worshiping of the underworld and all associated badies sort of witches. Read at your own risk!***įirst and foremost, I loved that the show has a similar vibe to Riverdale, in the sense that you could think it was a “modern” show but you could also easily think it’s set back in the 50s/60s (I think Sabrina blurs this line even more and has way less technology than Archie and the gang do- why text when you can just astral project?). ***Warning- This post will contain some spoilers for the series! I won’t be breaking down each episode in depth but I will be talking about some overall major plot points. ![]() When it finally dropped on October 26th, Max and I binged watched the 10 episode season in just a week and let me tell you all, I have FEELINGS to share. Based on the trailers I knew this iteration of Sabrina was going to be darker and based off the comic of the same name under the Archie horror imprint, so I was also a bit anxious to watch it too (I can count the amount of horror/”scary” movies I’ve seen on one hand so have a pretty low tolerance for the genre). As a huge fan of both the 90’s show Sabrina the Teenage Witch and the early 2000s animated series, Sabrina, Hilda, Zelda and Salem all hold a special place in my nostalgic heart and I am always 100% here for witchy stories. ![]() I don’t know about you, but I have been STOKED all fall for Netflix’s new original series, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
