Have watched the first two episodes, I think it's excellent so far

Six episodes in and loving it. Needs more Salem is my only criticism so far.

Going through this a bit slower than planned over the long weekend, but i have found it get a lot darker around episode 6/7.

The uncle upstairs was reminiscent of It, and the whole dream nightmare scenario was pretty gruesome

.

Only a few episodes left, not quite sure where it will end up, but going to stick with it. I like that its not doing a 'monster of the week' type thing, hopefully there is a bigger story arc that will continue into the next season.

gave it a chance and watched the first two episodes last night. Not too bad at all, and will keep watching I think. Much darker than I thought it would be.

Just finished ep5 " dreams in the witch house". Its just got a lot darker.. ill see it out to the end at this stage. Im liking it so far.

The blurring is sooooo annoying. I don’t mind it being darker but I can not watch it at all, it’s making my head hurt

I’ll find it hard to accept that young Sally Draper is, to use the Daily Mail parlance, “all grown up”, but I’ll give this a go. Riverdale, whilst ridiculous, is a guilty pleasure of mine so if it’s like that I’ll probably keep watching.

I'm now seven episodes in and tbh I feel like it's plodding along. Perfectly watchable, but nothing to get too excited about either. Am I alone? I'll watch it to the end though, hoping it finishes strongly.

My thoughts exactly.8 eps in now. Noting spectacular, but decent enough.

Yeah, happy sitting watching it but no great difficulty finishing an episode and switching to something else.

Why are so many shows these days promoting witchcraft? Seems like some sort of agenda at play here.

Its just popular with the young wans

So I finished the series. It finished quite strongly as I'd hoped, in fact I thought episode 9 was probably the best of the lot. I was a little disappointed that

the 13 witches and the guy on the horse didn't so more damage, it felt like a bit of a damp squib

. So what do we conclude from the finale

and Sabrina joining forces with the weird sisters, is she basically evil now or what?!

All in all I thought CAOB was an enjoyable, if not amazing series, and I'd certainly watch a second series.

I thought episode 10 was the best, you're right....a strong finish. Especially liked Michelle Gomez's pieces....she's brill.

Glebee · 06-11-2018 09:27PM

Final episode to watch later tonight. Actually looking forward to it. Have enjoyed the characters after all.

I've just finished the first series and I am a fan!

I really enjoyed Ambrose and Hilda, they're my favourite.
I'd enjoy more Salem time but read that Kiernan Shipka is allergic to cats so I get why he's more of a side piece.
Aunt Zelda had some great development and I warmed to her a lot in episode 9 and 10.

Overall I'm happy. Love the dark tone of the show and felt the social issues ( feminism,transgenderism) were handled well and not shoved in our faces but presented in a natural manner.

Loved to hate Father Blackwood and the weird sisters.

I like the set up for season 2

Aunt Zelda hiding the baby, Sabrina embracing the path of night, Lilith helping Sabrina while still aware she may have to murder her as a rival,plus hopefully a bit of teenage drama with Harvey and Nick both trying to win over Sabrina

One question though, why does the dark lord want Sabrina so badly? Surely there are loads of random witches about considering early on we see the

murdered warlock who wasnt in a coven, the guy with the iguana who kind of came to nothing

Glebee · 07-11-2018 12:25PM

Finished up Season 1 last night. Overall I enjoyed enjoyed my time with Sabrina and Co. Its not the most taxing of TV programs and cant be taken too seriously. Will defo watch season 2 when it releases next year.

Loved the closing wink.

it goes through phases in the late 90's and early 00's we had Charmed, and The Craft, and Buffy which though it was't the main focus of the story still loved a bit of the aul dark arts. It's just always popular.

I really enjoyed Sabrina, I liked the tone and overall look of it, I loved the original as a teen, but I really enjoy the darker more grown up aspect to this one.

I agree with previous posters that more could have been done with

the 13 witches brought back from the dead, and the covenless warlock who was murdered

those things aside thought it was great and will definitely watch season 2
