One thing that’s especially juicy here is how the magic world is made out to be this dangerous, oppressive patriarchy, in which women relinquish free will in order to have powers.
What does it mean to be who you are when who you are is more than one thing? Is it worth it to have superpowers and age veeerryyyy sloooowwllllyyy, much like the forever-teens on regular television shows, if it means you have to go to diabolical Hogwarts, abandon your friends just as you were empowering them through intersectional feminist after-school activities, and break up with your cute boyfriend who literally just told you he loved you? She loves headbands, her feisty, woke girlfriends Suzie and Ros, and her dopey-cute boyfriend, Harvey Kinkle.Īlso, she is an orphaned half-witch who, on her 16th birthday, has to relinquish all of her connections to the mortal world (though I think/hope she gets to keep those headbands) as part of her “Dark Baptism,” which is basically: What if your bat mitzvah, but terrifying? Whether or not Sabrina will undergo this rite, and what will happen to her if she does or doesn’t, is the big question of our delicious, spooky series, which exists in the same thematic universe as Riverdale but is heavier on the horror, lighter on the campiness.
She happily chomps on popcorn during the goriest parts of horror flicks.
