'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' review: Witch or half-witch prepare to be bewitched

Netflix's upcoming thriller 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' may be a forerunner of an Archie Comics adaption of a twisted tale done right
PUBLISHED OCT 16, 2018

It's that time of the year where you don't run out of options for new horror shows, yet don't quite know what to pick. Hail Satan! The 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' arrives October 26 on Netflix to, perhaps, top your what-to-watch list this spooky season. 

A franchise of Archie Comics, when the 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' was announced to be given a dark twist, 'Riverdale' skeptics chimed in to alert how the show ruined the memories of our beloved Archie Comics characters including the protagonists, Jughead and the entire gang. The CW show, however, became a love or hate series managing to gather a massive fan base all over the world. But with Sabrina, the 'Chilling Adventures' fit right at the title and it feels like an original masterpiece, even though it is entirely disengaged from the comedic tone of the Archie Comics and the 1996 sitcom 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch.'
