There are a lot of surprising things about Sabrina, the fall’s first truly binge-worthy new show. It’s a delight and an obsession, and the scariest thing about it is just how good it is.
If you’ve only mostly liked the show before, odds are you will love the all-new eight episodes that dropped on Netflix. ... In Season 3, Shipka has finally infused her character with a full-time sense of fun and sass.

Sabrina appears to have been a role tailor-made for Shipka, and every one of the first season’s ten episodes is anchored by her captivating performance.
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.
For as interesting as some of the coven material is, it’s easy--and a little frustrating--to imagine the show “Sabrina” could’ve been if it had embraced the Academy. Many of the scenes that click fully into place involve some combination of Academy students, lore, and protocol that make it feel like such a promising, pitch-black “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” heir that it’s disappointing when the series pulls away. The good news is that once the show pushes past its initial throat clearing, is alluring and compelling enough to discourage looking away.
While the gothic backdrop and juicy performances give "Sabrina" zest, the show feels lacking in the qualities that would distinguish it from "Charmed," or "Legacies," whose ensemble cast includes not just teenage witches but vampires, werewolves and hybrids.
I love this TV series so muchhhh. But why Netflix is canceled this TV show?? So stupid!

1st Season starts off well, not a masterpiece but enjoyable enough to make you want to watch the next episode. The second season is when the writing went to **** and nothing made sense, and everything felt stupid and you can't care anymore.

I remember watching the first 2 seasons of the show and saying: "uhm, that's okish but I feel that there is something off". After that point it was an escalation of everything woke: if you are a woman you are allmighty, if you are **** you are amazing, if you a a magical transgender person you are fantastic but if you are a WHITE MALE? Omg, evil to the core! The show could have been very interesting and good but the went down all the way for the ESG score...

I went into watching Sabrina with high expectations. I like supernatural themed shows and had heard good buzz around the story. I knew that many of the positive reviews talked about the feminist angle, but all I cared about was if the show was well written.
Unfortunately the show is a huge let down. The acting is fine. For the most part all of the players do what they can with what they are given. The writing on the other hand . . . is bad. Really bad. Despite being a teenager, Sabrina is better at magic than witches that are hundreds of years older than her. Fine, that goes with the story. I can live with it. What really just drove me insane though is how unlikeable all of the characters are. I loved Hilda Spellman. At times I thought Ambrose was great as well. Beyond that . . . ughs.
A lot of my issues with the characters deals with the type of feminism they have chosen to promote. To me it should be well rounded female and male characters with agency. Instead they went the route of making every single male character stupid, vain, and unlikeable. I mean there are lines that the devil is stupid, controlling, and evil, because of his gender (which they make sure you know is male). They elevate women by tearing down men. It is the laziest type of writing, and it immediately alienated me. The writers also clearly don't know anything about anyone from a rural area. The background characters are all hicks. The miners walk around with coal dust on the faces even when not at the mines. Deer hunting is portrayed as a flat out sinister act. Do the writers understand that we eat animals? Where do they think that comes from? Don't even get me started on Suzie/Theo's "plot." Suzie is picked on. Suzie decides she is actually a man. Suzie is angry that she can't get on the basketball team despite having no athletic ability and being 90lbs soaking wet. The writers decided to jam in a transgendered plot. It has nothing to do with the story narrative, but it is just used to show over and over again how terrible straight white men can be. This series should be cancelled.
