Kiernan Shipka is playing the role of Sabrina Spellman in the TV-series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, now on Netflix.

One day I opened Netflix and something different, yet familiar, caught my eye. Sabrina. Or more correct the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

We millennials might remember how Melissa Joan Hart portrayed Sabrina Spellman, the teenage witch, in the TV-series with the same name, during the second half of the ’90s.

The story of a 16-year old girl, who just discovered her magic powers, living with her 500-year old aunts Hilda and Zelda. She was also accompanied by Salem, a former wizard wanting to take over the world, now banished to be a talking cat. All packaged in a colorful and cheerful Disney-like package.

The reboot takes all this into consideration. It keeps the concept, the characters and the rest of the Sabrina-universe. That is where the similarities end. The reboot is dark, graphical, scary and tense.

I like this version of Sabrina because of…

…how it is filmed.
