Re: To DVDs and Beyond: The Netflix Thread
Finished the last batch of Sabrina. When all is said and done it's not a very good show. No sense of direction or tone, weak dialogue and no room for real character development. It's hard to tell whether the acting was bad or they were just doing their best with bad material. It's frustrating because it could have been a fun show, or at least an interesting one. Heck, I would have been satisfied with a halfway decent Buffy ripoff.

I thought season one was great. Season 2 just fell flat for me. I'm guessing I made the right decision to not look into further.Hugh Akston wrote: ↑06 Feb 2021, 21:44 Finished the last batch of Sabrina. When all is said and done it's not a very good show.

Season one was the best season for sure. It had occasional moments after that, but mostly it was a mess.Pham Nuwen wrote: ↑06 Feb 2021, 22:53I thought season one was great.

Re: To DVDs and Beyond: The Netflix Thread
Why would you look for dialogue or character development in what is clearly after-school baby sitting? The only thing it had going for it was Caroline Rhea's boobs.Hugh Akston wrote: ↑07 Feb 2021, 10:20Season one was the best season for sure.

We're talking Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the Netflix original series that wrapped up last year, which is why it's in this thread.Warren wrote: ↑08 Feb 2021, 12:32Why would you look for dialogue or character development in what is clearly after-school baby sitting?
