Okay, two episodes in and I'm so into it. Shockingly. I liked the trailers, I had hopes for the show, but nothing serious. Then Haunting of Hill House comes along and everybody goes NUTS over it like it's the best show in a decade (it's really good, but oh my god it's not even close) and Netflix just casually drops Sabrina two weeks later and honestly... I'm surprisingly way more into it. Yes, Haunting has episode 5 and 6 which are some of the most well crafted episodes of the year, but Sabrina is as much spooky, campy fun as I could have ever hoped for. It doesn't hold back on the creepy, Satanic (The Witch-inspired) imagery yet occasionally has that wonderfully cheeky spot-on humor that made the Melissa Joan Hart series so memorable. And the tone is such a beautiful balance. I liked what I've seen of Riverdale, but in a so-ridiculous-it's-enjoyable level, whereas Sabrina is actually legitimately great. Is Harvey still the most boring love interest? Of course. Do I miss the Nick Bakay Salem? Obviously. The music choices? Sometimes a bit on the nose. But Kiernan Shipka is a big, bright ball of pure charisma and the show is so wonderfully shot and designed. This show is pure Halloween candy and I really hope y'all are loving it as much as I am. I can barely even critique it, it's just tickling all of my buttons.

Gotta say this is cutting it for me so much more than THoHH, even if the comparison is lazy but understandable considering they’re both Netflix’s hottest shows.
I’m only halfway through but so far it feels like a more playful, less ostentatiously clever Buffy.

I'm on episode 4, and I'm enjoying so far. It's not great, but it's way less "Riverdale"-ish than I expected. What frustrates me is that the show isn't nearly as funny neither as creepy as it tries to be. The cast is solid, Miranda Otto is the MVP for sure.

Watching Season 2 now... I'm glad I waited until the Halloween season - it makes it so much more special!
