 What's up nerds, Ryan here from Movie Nerds and we are talking all things The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. So before we get into this review we'd love it if you could hit that subscribe button below and hit the like button and also the bell notification if you get around to it. So The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, this is a reimagining of the 90s TV series Sabrina and is also loosely based on the Archie's comic book. It's all about Sabrina Spellman and her dealing with being a half human and half witch. It's set just before her 16th birthday and her about to deal with the fact that she is about to become a full-fledged witch and possibly having to ditch off her friends and going to a new school that is all about learning witchcraft and all that kind of jazz. Coming into the show it heard very much it was going to be connected to the Riverdale series that's also on Netflix but after watching the show it's actually not connected at all. A couple of characters have mentioned the city of Riverdale but not so much any of the characters showing up at all in the show so it's loosely connected to Riverdale but there's no real connection to it, no character show up or anything like that which is a little bit unfortunate because I feel like having these connections to the series could have done really well like it has for the Arrow universe on the CW and being this is a CW series or at least Riverdale is and this was originally conceived by CW now being owned by Netflix you would think that they would have that down to a T. Sabrina has a very similar tone to say movies like Harry Potter or The Craft but also is very similar to Buffy from the 90s which is really awesome because I really loved Buffy when I was growing up and this is almost like a new take on that series I know it's not really connected in that kind of universe but seeing monsters versus a girl with powers it's definitely got that feel about it which is really fun. This has to be one of the most beautifully shot series on Netflix I've never seen anything like it Riverdale kind of comes close with its kind of look and feel but being that this is you know a mythical kind of show and a fantasy kind of show the makers of this series have nailed the look and the styling of this thing it looks unbelievable and the set dressing and the characters and the costuming and the art style is absolutely unreal. Being that it's a series all about magic and witchcraft and I mean characters like Sabrina her last name is Spellman you can kind of expect people to be a little bit over top but the acting here in some cases can be really over the top without giving too much away the villain of the show is kind of acted well really over the top it's hard to watch sometimes but once you get into the show you'll start kind of getting a character a bit more and kind of understanding where it's going so you kind of forgive it. The standout has to be Sabrina who's played by Kieran Shipka she's a newcomer she hasn't really been a much before flowers of the attic she was in madman for a little bit but really she hasn't done anything standout this is the show where she's going to break through and do big things she kills it as Sabrina in this. The other actor that killed her for me in this series is Miranda Otto she's an Australian actor that is killing it overseas at the moment her portrayal of Aunt Zelda in this show is unreal she plays it dead cold and it plays it totally different than what you expected from the original series which is cool it's different and it sets it apart from where it originally was and she does it very very well I can't wait to see where her character goes in the next season but where we're out at the moment it is really fun with her character. If you dug the original 90 series you are going to love this it has grown up with you it's a lot more mature now it's gone from the kind of comedy aspect and the teen drama side of things there are a lot of character nods from the original series and a lot of elements that came from that show that are here in this but it's also a lot more mature this has tons of horror elements it's pretty scary in some sequences it's definitely not for people under 14 I reckon and it's absolutely why it's called the chilling adventures it has horror elements up the wazoo. Outside of a few over-the-top characters there wasn't much I didn't like here it is a very fun and fresh new series for Netflix I'm super excited to see where season 2 goes but if you loved the original series of Sabrina back in the 90s then you are absolutely gonna love this so the chilling adventures of Sabrina hits Netflix on October 26 I cannot recommend this series enough it is awesome I cannot wait to see where it goes I hope it gets renewed for another season because it's absolutely really really fun and until next time I'll catch you nerds at the movies.
