As a diehard Sarbina the Teenage WItch fan and an all around scaredy cat who covers her eyes when she sees commercials advertising scary or gruesome movies, I was conflicted when I had heard about The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina The Teenage Witch. It looked bloody and dark and I truly wasn't sure if I could handle it or not. Turns out, it isn't that bad, and isn't any more or less creepy than Riverdale. It took me a few episodes to get used to the coldest of Zelda and the passivity of Hilda but what I loved loved loved about it was the use of modern day magic!

I delighted in seeing Sabrina 2.0 using a cord cutting spell to cut ties with an ex, using salt for protection and washing away a curse in the shower. There are bits and pieces of modern day witches scattered throughout this retelling of the original comic book.I loved how the plot shifted away from devil worship towards honouring hekate and the maiden, mother and crone. The whole show was a dark magical take that was utterly blasphemous and as an agnostic witchy women, I ate it write up. 

What did you like better? The comic, the TGIF sitcom or the sinister tale?
