The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Queen.



I had a feeling I was going to love this and it's all!??! So??!!? Great!?!?!?!

Give me all the stories about wrenching back self determination and autonomy in the face of both coercive and abusive religious power structures and male privilege and fill them with witches and powerful middle aged women and Michelle Gomez and a really fantastic soundtrack, please and thank you.

I don't even like things about teenagers, as a rule.

Also it's stinking gorgeous and when there was a scene of two guys talking 2 hours and fifteen minutes in it felt weird and out of place.

(I'm only a few episodes in, but. Everything is beautiful.)

Different strokes and all that. I'll let you know how I get on. :)
I saw someone put it that the first two episodes are the 'tv movie pilot' and that's exactly right.

It was very strange, and we were wondering WHY was she behaving like a normal person and WHY WERE THEY KILLING HER??? And then... aaaah, now it makes sense. (Her death was hilarious! A+)
I had the exact same journey. MG does physical comedy so well, though.

*nods* Well I am finally past that and the actual story can begin! :D

I just . . . everything is mirrors and duality and interlocking trios and dream/vision stuff and their names are all delightfully on the nose and they quote from everything and apparently the sets and cinematography are full of allusions to horror stories that I don't recognize.

Also there is an episode that is just straight-up a Buffy episode. As one reviewer put it 'I hope Joss Whedon isn't feeling litigious.'

There are too many things to watch...
