Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
By Sophia Fineza
Magic! Fun! Murder! My favorite parts of this show. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is the latest adaptation of the “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” story and is definitely not the sitcom that took the teenage world by storm in the late 90s. CAOS has a much darker tone, with lots of blood, human sacrifices, and Satan worship. Fun, right? This show honestly had everything that Riverdale didn’t, meaning the right humor, good writing, and amazing acting. There are some moments where it can be kind of cheesy - it’s a show for teenagers, after all. But these moments aren’t played out, which is perfect. It’s a very no-nonsense, cut to the bullsh*t kind of series, and is a great watch if you want to see a good storyline propelled by various spells and occasional gore. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a wonderful show, and I wouldn’t just recommend it to teens, as it can also be enjoyed by adults that knew of the original Sabrina Spellman.
logline: In the origin story of popular teenage witch Sabrina Spellman, she struggles between her mortal life and magical life. As her 16th birthday approaches, she must make a decision that could change everything. Will Sabrina stay with her friends and boyfriend at Baxter High? Or will she leave them behind to sign her name in the Book of the Beast and become a full witch?
My favorite characters:
Chance Perdomo as Ambrose Spellman - adorable. you’d never guess that he used to be a #badboy. he was really cool and funny, and his character was definitely one of the best parts of the show.
Tati Gabrielle as Prudence - she rly said baddie huh?? prudence really gave ZERO f*cks in this show. I love her style and her sass. Her comebacks (all magic/witch themed, of course) are one of my favorite parts of the show.
This show is rated TV-14. Here’s why:
Sexual References
Violence and Gore
Frightening and Intense Scenes
Language
Something I liked: the overall color scheme of this show is REALLY pretty. The white, black, and just a little bit of red added a lot to some of the scenes, (I won’t talk about them due to spoilers). If you give this show a try, it’s so aesthetically pleasing, which is great to watch.
