Stylish and joyfully macabre , Netflix’sThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrinais one of the cyclosis service ’s best original programs . It tackle social issues , veers away from the many takings in its traditional source material in favor of a more feminist look , and features gorgeously ghastly imaging . What ’s not to hump ?
It turn out that there are some big game holes , inconsistencies , and just weird writing that would be easy to deplume apart if we loved the show less . Since we adore it , we tend to ignore the series ' many problem , even when they sort of detract from the quietus of the show .
Werewolves Can Be Familiars
Familiars are hypothesise to be goblins , accord to Zelda Spellman , and we ’ve witnessed evidence to support this statement each time we ’ve seen a familiar ’s death on the show . If this is true , how can Nick Scratch ’s familiar be the werewolf Amalia , who patently much raised him ?
A wolf might make sense , but a wolfman is an actual person . So how could an genuine person be a warlock ’s familiar ? There ’s something not quite right about Amalia , particularly in the means she reverentially come to Sabrina ’s look when she was purportedly intent upon taking Sabrina out , so perhaps there’smore to learnabout her even though she ’s gone .
Theo Makes The Basketball Team
We sleep with howThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrinatakes on gender fluidness and prominently have Theo , who was n’t even in the comic rule book . But why does Theo suddenly want to be on the basketball team when he is n’t even any unspoilt at basketball ? While it ’s wonderful that the bigoted coach was force to admit him to try out for the team , it does n’t make sense to reserve anyone on the team who ca n’t even bet . Anyone who ’s examine out for a sport roll in the hay that you have to be able to play to make the squad .
Sabrina ’s magical involvement in help Theo get on the team is n’t bonnie or supportive of the show ’s subject matter . Why not have Theo already serious at the sport , but in need of Sabrina ’s help to get the test alternatively ?
The Tarot Reading Episode Is A Cop-Out
During the 2nd part ofThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrina , we witness a weird episode in which a fortune teller reveals the possible futures of all of our reference . In " Chapter Fifteen : Doctor Cerberus ’s House of Horror , " Madam Satan poses as Mrs. McGarvey , a char who can read everyone ’s tarot cards . She cave in each of themain human charactersplus Sabrina , Ambrose , and Zelda a glimpse into a horrifying future during each of their readings .
The issue here is n’t even that future reveals through fortune telling , visions , and dreams are so overused in fantasy , although they really are . It ’s that the lot vote counter is none other than Lilith , who is the most untrustworthy person in the series up until the last sequence . Whether or not her predictions are truthful or a entire plot to usurp the Dark Lord , as her own poster , the Empress , alludes to , it feel a chip like a waste of an episode fill with what - ifs .
Edward Spellman Married Diana In The First Place
The fact that Edward Spellman would splice Diana get it on that there would be hassle when it came to commit Sabrina to the Dark Lord is cockeyed . It ’s consanguineal to condemning your marriage to nonstarter . The show does n’t explain Sabrina ’s parents ' relationship very well except to show how they both betray one another in a battle to choose their daughter ’s way of life for her . They thus forbid her from the selection she should ’ve received as any other hag .
In the comics , Edward has a plan all along , and he ’s so evil he ’s even draw in to Sabrina when he uses Harvey ’s cadaver to arrive back to spirit . Yeah , it ’s immensely unlike , but it makes much more sense , yield that he was a warlock in this serial who made a deal with the devil .
Madam Satan Is A Flip-Flopper
She hate Sabrina and she ’ll take her down because she merit to be the Dark Lord ’s queen ! Madam Satan has monologued about this so often she believably maunder it in her eternal rest . So why does she waffle between aiding Sabrina in some of her efforts and sabotaging her in others ? Whether she was putting on a show for the Dark Lord or just pick out to sympathize with her competition , after the second part of the show we bed she ’s on Sabrina ’s side , or so she says .
Given that Madam Satan ’s author textile in the comics — which had her engage Edward Spellman , who had rebuffed her for a mortal — gave her a much more distressing nature , we ca n’t assist but still love her in the show . In the comic , she actually sacrifices herself to some lions in objection of Edward ’s marriage before returning from the grave accent .
The Dark Lord Randomly Taunts Miners
During the first part of the show , it ’s unveil that the Dark Lord used to ghost the mines where Harvey ’s father and brother work . It ’s the reason why Harvey is so terrified to enter the mines in the first topographic point . While it makes sense that the devil would love to play with mortals , the Dark Lord , in this case , seems above such task .
This is a bozo who sends his 2nd - in - program line to Earth to groom his girl / future queen ( because that ’s not weird ) because he ca n’t do something that important himself , but he can wreak boogeyman in the mines ? It create zero sense .
The Dark Lord Makes No Sense
Speaking of Satan , he really has a lot of issues . If he could arrive on earth all smoking raging like he did during the second part of the series , why not just do that in the first place to seduce Sabrina instead of sending Nick Scratch ? And why would he direct his courtesan , of all people , to groom her ? He had to know that was a recipe for disaster .
Everything the Dark Lord does makes it appear as if he ’s not really Satan but some implike lesser demon who just desire Sabrina for his bride . It would be screaming if that turned out to be true , but now that Sabrina is Queen , that seems improbable . Still , it would be more fitting for the Dark Lord , who does n’t seem to be much more powerful than Voldemort .
The Ages Don’t Make Sense
Sabrina is ready for her Dark Baptism on her 16th natal day , yet some witches are purportedly middle - aged or old and still wait on the Academy of Unseen Arts . Actress Tati Gabrielle , for model , says that her lineament , Prudence , is 70 years old , and Nick Scratch is 50 twelvemonth honest-to-goodness .
We get that the witch and warlocks experience unnatural length of service as part of their powers , but why would they remain at a boarding school day for this long ? Did all of the students start at 16 or younger and just remain there for decades ? If so , that seems like overkill and way too long to get gamey school , even for evil people .
Salem Is Barely In The Show
It makes perfect signified for Salem , Sabrina ’s close and helpful intimate , to not seem much on the show for Kiernan Shipka , who run Sabrina . Shipka has cat allergy and can not view as Salem without teasing effect , so it ’s improbable that we will see the two of them snuggle up anytime soon .
Still , the cat has a more salient place in all of Sabrina ’s preceding incarnations and merit a bit more limelight than he ’s receive this season . He did some incredible things for Sabrina during the first part of the show , but since the apple orchard incident and help Sabrina with the Weird Sisters , he has n’t been around much .
Sabrina Is Kind Of A Jerk
Our passion of Kiernan Shipka , who diddle the role so well , keeps us mostly unreasoning to the fact that Sabrina is a gravid jerk , and often . She defies every custom just because it ’s her opinion and offends the rest of the Wiccan and warlocks in the mental process ; lie to the great unwashed but expects them to be honest with her ; believes that she ’s right and everyone else is wrong , even if they have much more experience ; and often fails at her own plan .
Sabrina bear on to interfere in the life of her friends with her magic even after they ’ve asked her not to do so and sometimes acts like an arrogant little witch , especially for a initiate . We can always blame it all on her also being a stripling , but that does n’t make the behavior okay .
