    With a poor season 1, but that can please.
    A cliché and teen story, with Sabrina trying to decide whether to turn into a witch or live a normal life with her friends. The script is the worst point of the series, but the good direction and comic reliefs that really work can make you have fun and even enjoy the series.

    Lol to all these negative reviews though. This show is good with good acting and a bit off darkness.
    Part 2 is even better!

    Without a doubt this is not the bubblegum pop version of the comic books but an over the top dark and sinister version.

    This show is absolutely fantastic and is my favorite new scripted show of 2018. (Side note: I didn't like how The Haunting of Hill House ended.)

Hopefully the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will be kinder. The low score from Metacritic users for this show reinforces my belief that I should trust critics, not Metacritic users. The majority of Metacritic users will probably indicate that my review is not helpful, but I don't care. At the end of the day, the fact that many Metacritic users dislike this show is irrelevant, since the show has already been renewed for at least three more seasons. Riverdale hasn't been renewed for a fourth season yet, and this show deserves to last for as many seasons or more than Riverdale.… Expand

    The plot is great, the acting is pretty good, the characters are likable and most importantly it's showing some of the biggest problems teenagers face during high school (especially bullying). The ending was pretty much the best thing of the whole season.

You have enough conservative content to watch, cancel your Netflix subscription if you don't like their liberal agenda and move on with your close minded life hating people different than you.

    The series is a great freshness in dealing with supernatural matters.
    A beautifully crafted remake of "Sabrina Teenage Witch".
    Miranda Otto, Lucy Davis and Michelle Gomez are giving a performance show, as well as young girls Kiernan Shipka and Tati Gabrielle. The series is going super right.

    Delicious pop entertainment, with some uplifting and serious themes beneath the shining surface. The cast, production design, cinematography and writing are all excellent. Dark, but light-hearted and comedic elements — particular from the Aunts and Cousin Ambrose — make this a joy to watch.

    Though not as badly acted as lets say another Archie counterpart, Sabrina still does have its flaws. Tweens in conflict with sassy superiority complexes, a main character too headstrong for her own good and an array of stereotyped characters. Though I am curious to see where they will take the show.

    An spectacular remake from Sabrina. With a lot of dark instruments that have support in Satanism, a precious thing for witches. With a teen touch from Riverdale, this series is build with a good base of dialogues, acting, and cinematography! Some borring componnents with personages that are out of context, end unexploreds. So ... Anxious for the second season!

I binged watched it over the weekend and keep thinking about it and wishing there were more episodes already. Glad season 2 is in the works. I think this show hit all of the right marks-- creepy, quirky, earnest, intriguing, weird, a little scary, sometimes funny, and the right amount of absurd. Like every show, it will appeal to certain people more than others. I think it is the perfect over-16 TV show for the Halloween season, but really, I would enjoy it any time of year.… Expand

    Scary show with interesting characters, plot twists and loads of witchcraft. Good way to make a (dark) reboot. Only points to make is that some characters are just plain evil and the camera effects make you feel dizzy because they overuse this blurry effect. I miss the shady cat though.

I'm not sure why they didn't keep the lizard alive and have it communicate who killed the young man and why? It kind of left a loose thread. More developing the different characters will make it better - what's up with the principal - did I miss something? Again, I think that the aunts should be her saviors in protecting her versus sending her to the wolves(devil). This is what would improve the ratings for me and to keep me watching.… Expand

    Although the show is rooted in a teenage thematic, the dark themes are enough to keep you more attentive to the story.
    Kiernan Shipka is adorable as Sabrina and is a true revelation but far from being really memorable.

    I really liked it although I wasn't dazzled by it.

    I really loved how youthful and fresh the series was. It was funny, serious and touched on some important issues. It brought the comic book Sabrina to life.

    I must add It's funny how most of these reviews/comments are just from men who are crying because the show talked about women supporting women. I had to laugh! But anyway it's a great show 10/10.

    Sabrina is also possessed by the spirit of Kevin Williamson’s script for Wes Craven’s “Scream”: there’s a giddy cleverness in how it shouts out its own tropes and knowing riffs, in the service of minting a Faustian coming-of-age tale in which the retro atmosphere mingles with progressive gender politics.

    Chilling Adventures ends up being a surprisingly complex interrogation of power, aware both of the necessity of women claiming it and of the consequences that usually follow when that power is used for revenge.
