Year of Release: 2018

JR's Rating:  (9.0 out of 10, Impressive)

"Let Greendale Cast A Spell On You"

Welcome to Greendale, a town of grim and horror plagued with history of witches, the very town that Sabrina Spellman gets to decide whether she fully embraces her dark witch side or sacrifice it for a healthy mortal life with her friends and boyfriend. With an adventure really worth binge-watching, "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" is a worthy addition to your Netflix watchlist but with a heavy warning for its very disturbing content.

While I lived to watch and enjoy the 1990s comedic predecessor on an old tube TV, the 2018 version exceeds the former by a huge margin by just how willing it is to embrace a tone only horror movies can adhere, a rare feat in fact for TV series. The show is well equipped with a cast that fully embodied the characters that are in the series. Aunt Hilda, Aunt Zelda, Ambrose, Harvey, Prudence, Nicholas and Kiernan as Sabrina are just a few that you'll love in the series. Each episode is catered with a dilemma only Sabrina could face and these are what you'll have to anticipate all the way. With all the good mentioned, The series is full of satanic symbolism that might make you uncomfortable along the experience. I, for one, felt sinning upon watching the series; so, I advise you to watch at your own risk. Unlike Riverdale, where despite all the darkness that builds the town you can have high hopes on, Greendale is just full of darkness that there is just pure evil to rely on. So be warned!
