I contend that Sabrina has never once made a tactically smart decision. In all of this, Sabrina remains a curious character. His name is Caliban ( Sam Corlett) and he’s a conniving little trickster who loves a spot of man-cleavage and challenges Sabrina to a hunt for the “Infernal Artifacts,” three unholy items that will endow the winner with the right to call themselves the ruler of hell.
While all of that is going on, Sabrina also has to contend with a new power player, straight from hell, who threatens her claim to the throne.
It’s a beautiful thing to watch, leading to one of the most purely rewarding and enjoyable subplots of the season.īut that’s, again, because holy shit this season has so much to do. Paired with standout newcomer Jonathan Whitesell as an awkward but oh-so-adorable young man who comes to Greendale with the carnival, Theo finally gets to settle into himself and own his identity instead of fighting for it all the time. Harvey and Roz continue to feel out their blossoming romance and confront his past with Sabrina, but it’s Theo who really gets to shine in Season 3. Fortunately, Season 3 makes the best use of Sabrina’s human friends yet, looping them into the main plot more directly via the pagan threat while still spending time on their character arcs. Sure, we love Harvey ( Ross Lynch), Roz ( Jaz Sinclair), and Theo ( Lachlan Watson), but the quotidian dramas of Baxter High really pale when compared with the decadent, delicious antics at the Academy of Unseen Arts and all the apocalyptic adventures the Church of Night finds themselves locked in. On the matter of the human world, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina seems to have finally more or less realized that no one gives a shit. to journey into hell and rescue Nick and setting up a third season… that’s almost entirely not about that at all. In Season 2’s final moments, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina sets up a mission for Sabrina and Co. But there was a cost the prison was her boyfriend, the powerfully charming young warlock Nick Scratch ( Gavin Leatherwood) who won Sabrina’s heart despite his devious ways. That was pesky ol’ Satan’s big game all along in the first two seasons, priming Sabrina to take the throne, but in Season 2’s finale she smacked him down, not just rejecting her Hell crown but a full-on defenestration that locked Lucifer in prison and saw Lilith take the throne as the new Queen of Hell. When Season 2 left off, Sabrina and Lilith collaborated to overthrow Lucifer, who also happens to be Sabrina’s dad, making her the future queen of hell. And in that regard, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina sees its biggest change yet in Season 3. But that also means Season 3 never falls prey to the dragging lulls that plagued the first two installments, and it almost never plays it safe with the predictable path, veering wildly in unexpected directions and absolutely Kool-Aid Man crashing through new developments in mythology and world-building. At times, it feels like it's too ambitious in its breadth, too downright silly and indulgent, and overall just too much. And it's weirder, wilder, and more absolutely ridiculous than ever.Īnd that’s really just scratching the surface of all the bonkers action, subplots, and character developments jam-packed into a very busy Season 3. Season 2, released just five months after the first (with a bonus Christmas special in between,) made advances to remedy many of those inconsistencies, and with its third installment, Sabrina fully hits a stride with its best looking, most tonally consistent season yet. Still, it was also a bit of a wonky launch, with characters that didn’t feel quite there yet (except Michelle Gomez’s perfect performance as Lilith, all hail), an intriguing aesthetic that was falling just short of its zpotential, and too much time dedicated to the comparatively dull human half of Sabrina’s life.
#Sabrina the teenage witch season 2 episode 7 part 3 series
The series first season was a charming seasonal thrill, perfectly timed to the All Hallows spirit. Chilling Adventures of Sabrinais back with its third season (or “Part 3" as Netflix would prefer you call it) and, inspired by the Archie Horror comics, the series has now firmly settled into its darker, weirder take on the much-beloved Spellman witches.
