The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (Netflix)

[Fresh Tendrils]

Has anybody else started this yet?

I watched the first episode last night. It is definitely not your TGIF Sabrina. Obviously a little slow in order to setup everything and introduce characters, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Finished five episodes last weekend. I like it but don't love it yet. I was hoping for something at Santa Clarita Diet level but it hasn't got there.

I was talking with a co-worker who expressed similar sentiments. She binged it last weekend and enjoyed it, but she didn't come way overly impressed.

Is this on the same field as Riverdale?

I never watched Riverdale.

The premise and potential aim of this show disturb me:

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” Will Be Extremely Satanic

The opening paragraph of this article sums it up nicely:

“Sabrina the Teenage Witch” was a 90’s sitcom featuring a talking cat and dumb jokes emphasized by a laugh track. Fifteen years later, Netflix decided to reboot the show and, judging by the trailer, there will be no laugh track. Instead, the show will be a terrifying ordeal featuring blood, maggots, Baphomet and satanic rituals.

Truly, the original Bewitched who introduced Sabrina as a toddler witch and then this series referenced above were just corny, humorous shows. Why take this to such a dark level? Why such blatant depictions of Satanic creatures? Makes one wonder, doesn't it?

I doubt this is the show for Bible Belt people, but ultimately Sabrina

Spoiler

is battling against Satan. She wants the powers of her witchiness but wants the moral influence of her humanness.

This show is based on the horror comic of the same name. From what I understand this is more in line with the comic than anything else. This show and Riverdale are part of the same comic universe, that's why it's referenced in the show.

It doesn't have to be Bible Belt or bust..... also could be an interest to influence those on the fence about witchcraft / misguided teens. You gotta admit there's some sort of agenda here with this subject matter and the levels/symbolism they're going to.
