I watched the first episode with my wife. The who "pledge allegiance to Satan" shit kinda turned her off. She was raised to not watch demonic shit. I'm taking it this shit must get much better though. The satanic shit didn't bother me as much as the fact that it was just boring. Like I feel like they laid the ground work for an interesting storyline, but it also seemed like it could just as easily devolve into a witch themed SJW propaganda piece.

It's satanic as fuck....

But in all reality, prolly offensive towards legit Satanist.

So tell you wife Satan prolly hates the show too ... It stereotypes the fuck outta him and his followers

Meh, we've watched more episodes, but she can't even stay awake. When does it supposedly get good. It's not terrible but definitely not as good as some are making it seem. It seems like SJW propoganda more than anything else.

I ain't about to watch any of those shows loosely, around about, kinda sorta based on Archie and his collection of friends. I'd probably be more open to it if the creators hadn't based it around Archie characters. What the hell is the point of making a "dark" Archieverse?

I don't watch Riverdale cause I don't think that approach to Archie works either; but the Sabrina comic took a dark turn many years ago. Which made sense considering it's supernatural background. This clearly wasn't made for people who watched that stupid sitcom from the 90s. It was made to appeal to the comic book fans and people who watched shit like Buffy and Angel.

It's a good story.

Kinda like a darker Harry Potter. She's on her way to be the greatest witch of all time

After dropping a 10-episode debut season in October, Santa (and Netflix) delivered a gift for fans of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. “A Midwinter’s Tale,” the series Doctor Who-like holiday special, brings us back to the town of Greendale, in the days leading up to two very important holidays for the residents: the Winter Solstice for the witches and Christmas for the mortals.

But while the juxtaposition of the cheery traditional celebrations and the Spellman family’s occult holiday makes for amusing moments, the special serves as a bridge between what we’ve seen and where the show is ultimately going in season two. The answers aren’t totally satisfying.

[Ed. Note: This contains spoilers for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina through “A Midwinter’s Tale.”]

The Winter Solstice is when the veil between the mortal world and the one beyond is at its thinnest, so naturally — against everyone’s wishes, as continues to be the theme — Sabrina decides to take advantage and conduct a sĂ©ance to contact her mother.

The fact that Sabrina wants to turn to her mother for guidance over her freshly broken heart reminds us again that despite the magic powers, she is a teenage girl with teenage problems. But while this setup does lead to some supernatural encounters, the special saps all the fun out of the unanswered questions of season one by sticking some easy answers on them.

Why is Sabrina’s mom trapped in limbo? Because she wanted to make sure her daughter grew up happy and loved!

Is Sabrina forbidden from seeing her friends now that she’s finally signed her name in Satan’s book? Nope. And apparently she still goes to school with them, even though the last scenes of season one implied that she was attending the Academy of Unseen Arts full time. Why was she so hesitant about signing it?

Characters in Sabrina’s orbit mostly spin their wheels and enjoy the holiday. We see Miss Wardwell ominously speaking to her raven about how she’s going to ruin Sabrina’s sĂ©ance, then munching at cookies cut to look like the Spellmans instead. Ambrose gets a tiny bit of screen time, but then goes to a swanky witch bar to meet his beau — who we don’t get to see. Release the Ambrose-at-a-swanky-witch-bar extended cut!

The most enjoyable elements of “A Midwinter’s Tale” don’t answer (or flirt with) overarching, season two questions so much as build on the characters and the world. When the focus is on Sabrina and how her relationships have been altered by her decisions, the special is the strongest — and hey, it’s a holiday special! That’s what these are meant for!

After signing her name into the Dark Lord’s book — and post-breakup with longterm boyfriend Harvey — Sabrina turning to her magical family for comfort, and her mother’s ghost not just for answers about her mysterious death, feels genuine. So does Sabrina and Harvey’s strained post-breakup relationship; her ex isn’t super open to magic — or Sabrina’s meddling, and rightfully so, considering Sabrina’s botched resurrection of his brother. It’s tense and awkward and most of all, refreshing, since Susie and Roz, though hesitant, are more or less okay with her magical powers.

That pair of friends, too, is finally given a plot worth their time, as Susie takes on a job as a Christmas elf, while Roz’s slight prophetic abilities warn her that something’s not quite right — and it’s downright terrifying.

The atmosphere, as usual, is rich and feels even more macabre than Nightmare Before Christmas. The sĂ©ance and the scenes leading up to the reveal of just what got into the house — particularly the story about a witch who devoured her own child (“Seriously, what is it with witches and cannibalism?” asks Sabrina) — are perfectly creepy, as are the ominous figures at the end of the episode. The ever-continuing plot hole of why Sabrina, who was supposedly raised by a very devout member of the Church of the Night, constantly doesn’t know the basic traditions of witch holidays, continues to itch, but we’ll brush that aside this time around.

“A Midwinter’s Tale” also ties up another loose end from season one with a glistening red bow — namely what happens to the child that Zelda kidnapped from Father Blackwood. Before we can even explore the fact that Zelda kidnapped a literal infant from a patriarchal, evil father, she’s sending the baby safely away. That, topped on with Sabrina’s easy duplicity between witch and mortal life and the simple answer as to why Sabrina’s mom is in limbo almost makes us wonder what’s even left for season two.

Netflix is really starting to suck. I won't be renewing my subscription once it expires this Friday. Ain't no point in watching if they are going to cancel the series. After Luke Cage and Iron Fist cancellations I don't trust them.

I know your post is very old but Iron Fist deserved to be cancelled. That bootleg ass Danny Rand was fucking terrible. That show had great potential. I'd watch again if they recast some characters starting with Danny Rand.
