Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season One Review
As someone who grew up watching the TGIF staple Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I will admit I was pretty intrigued when I heard everyone’s favorite teenage half witch-half mortal would be returning to television, albeit in a much darker capacity than the version from my childhood.

While I say this every year, awards don’t mean a show is necessarily good. But, when we look back on yesteryear, the list […]
