Lehman, and Samuel A. Taylor. The supporting cast includes J read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e20 – The Mephisto Waltz
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 10, 2020
So, Luke Ford, who plays Lucifer this episode, looks a lot like Taylor Kitsch. Enough I thought they maybe paid for Kitsch. They didn’t, they got Ford. Who doesn’t seem to have voiced goat Satan in the previous episodes. Anyway. It’s the big finale, with Kiernan Shipka unintentionally letting read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e19 – The Mandrake
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 9, 2020
This episode gets off to a rough start wrapping up last episode’s cliffhanger—Sabrina and the gang discovering a shrine to her in the mines, which is at least hundreds of years old. Kevin Rodney Sullivan’s direction is peculiar in a bad way (unless there’s a good reason for it like they reshot read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e18 – The Miracles of Sabrina Spellman
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 8, 2020
So following Sabrina showing herself off as a possible messiah, Richard Coyle gets back to town with Miranda Otto—Otto’s totally Stepford Wives—and convinces his bosses she’s a heretic and they’re just going to have to kill her. Meanwhile, Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) is enjoying her new powers. read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e17 – The Missionaries
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 7, 2020
So, actually, no, “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” apparently hasn’t hit the darkest hour or the point of no return yet because this episode just sort of shrugs at all the disastrous things gone wrong for Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) and her family. Cousin Ambrose (Chance Perdomo—who’s great this read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e16 – Blackwood
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 6, 2020
Back when they were writing Alien, screenwriter Dan O’Bannon and producer Gordon Carroll disagreed where the end of the second act falls. Gordon said it was “the darkest hour,” whereas O’Bannon countered with “the point of no return.” The idea being a point of no return is less subjective. read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e15 – Doctor Cerberus’ House of Horror
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 5, 2020
I was ready to love this episode. I wanted to love this episode. Ross Maxwell’s one of the names I like seeing on the writing credit. But this episode is a big whiff. Alex Garcia Lopez’s direction not being good is one of the problems. The other one is concept really not paying off. It plays like read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e14 – Lupercalia
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 4, 2020
I’m not sure if I’ve ever known the word “fecund,” but thanks to this episode of “Sabrina,” I do now and beware. I’m always looking for a good adjective. It comes up when Richard Coyle is sweet-talking Miranda Otto and, although Coyle is one of the least dynamic casting choices, he’s read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e13 – The Passion of Sabrina Spellman
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 3, 2020
Big development this episode… Satan, Lucifer, the Dark Lord, et cetera, is an active character. He appears as a goat-headed demon and whoever does the voice isn’t credited (whoever’s doing it isn’t the right casting) and He wants to get Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) to do his bidding. Not because read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e12 – The Epiphany
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 2, 2020
It’s a new year for “Chilling Adventures,” literally, with the episode picking up after winter break as Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) has decided she’ll no longer be attending Baxter High and going to witch academy full-time. New Baxter High principal and actual Biblical figure (albeit unbeknownst read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e11 – A Midwinter’s Tale
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 31, 2020
It’s a Christmas special—or a Winter Solstice special—set before winter break for the teens, which adds to the weirdness because even though Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) said farewell to beau Ross Lynch last episode… turns out they’re still going to the same school. Yes, even though she’s all read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e10 – The Witching Hour
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 30, 2020
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Ross Maxwell co-write, sending off of “Sabrina”’s first season, with a deus ex machine of an episode where Michelle Gomez decides she’s been waiting too long for Kiernan Shipka to embrace the Dark Lord and it’s time to get drastic about things. If Gomez can’t sabotage read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e09 – The Returned Man
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 29, 2020
This episode could also be called Everything Falls Apart. It puts Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) through one ringer after another; Shipka’s antics of the last couple episodes have resulted in some very bad, very dangerous situations—soulless cannibalistic husk people bad and dangerous—and she doesn’t read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e07 – Feast of Feasts
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 27, 2020
Netflix did drop “Sabrina” all at once so who knows if this Thanksgiving episode was meant to “air” on Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving theme doesn’t last long—enough to introduce the hilarious idea of Miranda Otto sitting and watching football all day for the violence–but once the witch read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e08 – The Burial
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 27, 2020
Maggie Kiley directs this one and Kiley’s so far the best director on “Sabrina,” so I went in with high hopes. It doesn’t disappoint, which is something given how much the episode does. It starts with a mine collapse in Greendale, last episode’s cliffhangers—mean girls Abigail Cowen and read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e06 – An Exorcism in Greendale
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 26, 2020
The opening showdown with Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) confronting Ms. Wardwell (Michelle Gomez) about Wardwell being a witch, spying on Sabrina, saving Sabrina from the sleep demon. Wardwell gives her a questionable tale about how she’s fulfilling a promise to Sabrina’s dead dad to protect her, which read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e04 – Witch Academy
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 25, 2020
I’m very confused; the witch school is within walking distance from the farm where Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka) lives. I thought it was a boarding school far away. Turns out it’s a boarding school—Shipka has to do three nights there—but it’s within walking distance. So she was never going to see read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e05 – Dreams in a Witch House
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 25, 2020
This episode starts immediately after the previous one—Kiernan Shipka has just opened a demonic Rubik’s cube, designed by her dead father when he was in the same witch academy she now attends, and released a sleep demon (a make-up encased and excellent Megan Leitch). The episode is just the demon read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e03 – The Trial of Sabrina Spellman
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 23, 2020
No Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa script this episode, Ross Maxwell instead, which initially confirmed my idea about how the first two episodes were the extended pilot and now we’re getting into series proper. Actually, no, because this episode serves to set the series up to be, you know, a series. The epi read more
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) s01e02 – The Dark Baptism
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 23, 2020
I started this episode very happy Lee Toland Krieger was directing and then immediately regretted it because Krieger uses these camera filters—the iMovie version of wiping Vaseline on the lens—to center viewer attention. So while “Sabrina” has that questionable streaming 2.1:1 aspect ratio… read more
