Chilling Adventures of Sabrina | Part II


One of Netflix's strangest programming choices and airing dates is Sabrina, or Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. With 20 episodes (Part I & II) now on the streaming giant we first meet this new, darker, Riverdale companion series back in October 2018 around Halloween.

We got 10 episodes first, an 11th episode for Christmas and the second part last Friday.

Over three delivery dates the show has keep fans happy with more episodes to binge on regular occasions. Like fan favourite Sense8 we waited around 18 months from it's first season to a fill the gap episode and another 6 months to a full 10 episodes. Finishing with a one episode conclusion a whole year later.

The new Sabrina is so much better than the original Melissa Joan Hart version and I do wish it would crossover with Riverdale. This season of Riverdale has really gone down the witchcraft path and you could tell The CW were onto a good thing with this show, however with it's final home being Netflix it can be a lot more gritty and a little more violent/spooky.

Ambrose is still my favourite and midway through the season I am worried about his future. Slight spoiler alert.

I am not yet at the final episode, but as I write this around six episodes in, this season has been worth the short wait. Already renewed for Parts III and IV, I hope this make their way online sooner rather than later.

Sabrina is a teen drama/thriller for a modern age, tackling, sexuality, gender, coming of age and family drama, all with a bit of witchcraft thrown in for good measure. Continued props for our own outstanding Miranda Otto too, what a fab diva. Go Miranda!
