First, I need to say, I have a serious problem with how long it took for all of the issues contained in this book to come out. The first issues did so well, then there was a long hiatus. I love Archie Comics, but it was a serious misstep by them.
Anyway, Chilling Adventure of Sabrina is a horror comic, and nothing like the more recent Sabrina stories. It's more like the first years of Sabrina, where she would torture mortals and all of that. It's a darker comic, and yeah, some of it is disturbing, but it's worth a read. I love how Betty and Veronica make a cameo as witches.

The first season was really great, I enjoyed the storyline and characters, plus I do enjoy a good comic book adaptation. The second season was good, I enjoyed the new setting and loved the music. Some funny parts and deals with a few hard topics. However, it quickly goes downhill, the story is almost the same as the first season. We got so bored, we only really watched it because there was nothing else to do (lockdown).

The ending is silly, far too clean and sudden new powers save the day. Very melodramatic, over the top.
