Wait.. so Hell is a beach ? 


1st Season


Was a very upside down season, many times Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) gets to my nerves because of the story often going 'shall she shift more towards her witch powers or be more mortal'. But the unique things they show at the Witch academy of unseen arts, all those adventures makes it a worth to sit through all episodes. However, its still one of my least liked series.





2nd Season

After having signed the book, Sabrina now has more interest in the Witch world to an extent she wants to participate in election of new Top Guy at the academy and point out why a girl can't be elected with her eyes set as far as been the next High Preistess, which ofcourse, Father Faustus Blackwood (Richard Coyle) doesn't like. The story goes further on what new tasks Dark Lord/Lucifer Morningstar (Luke Cook) has in mind and in what way Lilith/Miss Wardwell (Michelle Gomez) continues to help him in this regards.

In many ways I found this season far better, though it has many
problems too. What really works is Miss Wardwell character, she was irritating to watch in 1st season as we just saw her always plotting things against Sabrina. This time she gets bit human, showing feelings towards a mortal and trying to go against Dark Lord, all of which makes for a very good watch. Same goes for Zelda Spellman (Miranda Otto) who was too Blackwood/Dark Lord pro in 1st season, but here we see her more supportive towards Sabrina. I didn't like Harvey Kinkle (Ross Lynch) and Rosalind Walker (Jaz Sinclair) as couple, just seems something off or maybe thats how the writers want it to be. Also, Theo Putnam (Lachlan Watson) character gets very less character build then what I was expecting.

Then there's Prudence Night (Tati Gabrielle) who I feel takes too long to differentiate between right and wrong, I just hope she chooses better in 3rd season. The 'horrors of Doctor
Cerberus house' episode was very lovely change from the narrative, even if it was very clear from the start that its Miss Wardwell pretending to be tarot reader. The execution could had been better though. What disppointed me most was last episode, how they tackled Dark Lord with very little difficulty, even if its temporary yet I was wanting lot more struggle than a simple conjuring ritual. I liked the uncanny resemblance Dark Lord (in his heaven avatar) has with Nick, which makes the decision to let his body be used for conjuring a good decision. Despite some of the sillyness this series has still present, I would still rate this season better.


3rd Season

Sabrina goes on the quest to get her boyfriend Nick back from the Hell (a silly move if you ask me, atleast not the way she tries). Her mortal friends help her out and then there's the rebuilding of the 'Academy of Unseen Arts' to be done but with a hiccup that the witches are losing their energy, the
reason been they went againt the Dark Lord. This season was a complete downer for me mainly because of 2 characters, Nick and Caliban (Sam Corlett). Nick's character grows too annoying, I for
one never liked him from Season1 but it would had been nice had they not turned it to 'lets breakup' and rather get more involved in helping Sabrina fight the mess she has got in with the arrival of Pagans witches, Blackwood out on loose and Dark Lord escaping. And if thats not enough, a repeat of 'Top Guy' kind challenge happens, this time for the throne of Hell, between Caliban and Sabrina, my question is, was that needed at a time when there's already a lot to deal with on Earth. With Caliban playing a wannabe 'Prince of Hell' doesn't help.

Mary Wardwell (teacher) killing Aunt Zelda was a bit too much a direct step with no buildup, and also why would Aunt Hilda not take help from Sabrina or her family when she knew she has got a bad spell casted on her by the pagan witch. Also, what the fuck were those musical numbers used in some of the episodes. Blackwood who I dont like much, was only one character thats written much better and also well acted, and the ending scene suggests he may have a large role in next season.  The 'time travel' used was interesting but keeping two Sabrina, one at Earth and other at Hell, looked more like desperate writing to work on for next season, I don't think they would benefit much from it but will still wait to see what they do with it and how long they will let Lilith or Dark Lord not know about it.  There wasn't a single episode that I could say I enjoyed fully, it was always bits and pieces which is how a series season shouldn't be. Hoping Season4 turns it around, want Dark Lord play more active part and also I would like Quentin to be involved in big ways after having been fully omitted in this season. There's enough hints at Harvey-Sabrina reuniting at many times, so wonder if that would happen. And Prudence for once didn't play dumb, hope it continues that way. And I got no idea where they will take Nick next. Forgettable season, lets see how next one goes.

Still a average series, with the 2nd season been the best of all.


My Rating : 5.5/10
