    Each time Sabrina swerves into such uneven territory, it finds its way back to its strengths as a visually rich, darkly comical, and immensely fun to watch piece of wish fulfillment. The show ricochets from near-perfectly pitched dark fantasy to rote considerations of normal life, only striking the right balance when it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it still has enough magic and wonder to enthrall.

    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, like Sabrina herself, is having more fun in Season 2, but it remains too reliant on smoke and mirrors. Strip back that glossy gothic-horror surface, and the internal logic of the story turns to dust.

    There’s not necessarily a feeling of bloat so much as aimlessness.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. This season opened where the last one left off, and let me tell you that they have tripled down on the trans propaganda. A hefty portion of each episode is dedicated to how 'Suzy' transitions to 'Theo' and how xe doesn't even need to change xer body to be stereotypically male in order to feel like a male.

    Apart from that, the tangled web of alliances is in a total shambles. Just when you think you have figured out where a character stands there is an M. Knight Shyamalan style twist revealing their betrayal. Faustus turns into Jim Jones, changes the Church of Night into the misogynistic "Church of Judas" run by what appears to be a group of black shirts reminiscent of literal Nazis/Proud Boys. When the chips are down he has everyone drink poisoned cool aid during a Dark Mass and tries to run away with his children. Lilith's familiar betrays her relationship with a mortal to Satan and she ends up having to eat him for dinner. Dorian Grey betrays Ambrose and Sabrina for no reason other than he likes to cause trouble, after being their friend for the entire season.

    The weirdest part was the introduction of Angels. They were dressed as Mormons and their leaders look like young versions of Tucker Carlson and Liz Wheeler. They convert witches by making them renounce Satan and all his works and proceed to kill them with smiles on their faces and peppy talks about coming to the light. Sabrina manifests as the Sword of Lucifer and converts them to the Dark, before burning them. So much for "when they go low, we go high"! Bash the fash and all of that.

    The series is a complete and utter mess with a few good moments. I think that they should have rather included Sabrina in Riverdale and established her character before spinning her off into her own series. The writers clearly have no idea of what to do with this material.    … Full Review »

    It seems as if Lena Dunham got wasted and wrote the script. Apart from that, it's pretty okay.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. They turned the Dark Lord into a complete joke by defeating him in the blink of an eye (and with another spell that was pulled from their a***s at the last moment), basically wasting all the build up and implications of some grand battle. He doesn't even get to fight. Following that, Blackwood flees, Lilith is queen if Hell, Zelda is the High Priestess, and the female takeover is complete. Everything is now sunshine and rainbows. Yay women.… Full Review »
