So, it’s good then?
I will note that The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina saw print in comic book form, first. Which most likely felt like a free pass to well-dippers.
Y’know, it’s like one of those West Coast heavily-hopped IPAs. If you go for this kind of thing, it’s great.
I think I’ll give it a pass. I get enough satanism as it is.
So, a society where the only two faiths are Satanism and atheism?
In better hands, that could be the premise of a great conservative television show.
Seriously, C.S. Lewis could have run wild with that premise.
Screwtape: The Series.
Apparently satanists hate this show because it portrays followers of Satan as evil.
Kevin Smith wrote a pretty great Green Arrow story where the villain was a Satanist who’d become disillusioned by how shallow and suburban American satanism had become.
“It’s so hard to enjoy the monthly blood orgy when Fred McGillicutty won’t stop talking about mutual funds.” (Paraphrased.)
Those poor dears.
Pumpkin Spice IPA. I hear it’s your thing.
I’m still waiting for the return of B.J. and the Bear.

You’re rooting for Satan, aren’t you?
I stopped watching the first episode when it had the sexually ambiguous girl (or whatever it was) being bullied by the football team. I mean give it a rest already. I’m convinced these writers are the nerds from high school, the way they depict the football players. It’s ridiculous. In this show, the football players lifted up her shirt. That just wouldn’t happen. So I tuned out.
It is notable that witchcraft in this show is not depicted as that happy sunny Wiccanism we were told was such a noble thing all through the 90’s and 00’s.
The SJWism gets strong regarding a couple characters. They don’t quite declare it as badly as some shows do (we don’t get into “very special episode” turf), but it’s there.
It’s like a box they all have to check now. I’m sick of it. I just want to be entertained, not clubbed over the head.
Dialogue from a gritty conservative version of Sabrina:
If I join a coven do I get immediate friends, acceptance and purpose in life? That may be what they’re selling.
My lovely wife lost interest in a couple of shows for similar reasons. I will say that as the show progresses, the character’s virtues are not because of their sexuality, which at least is different.
Nope. In fact joining the coven guarantees her opposition and bondage (not the fun kind) to darker forces. If they were trying to sell “friends, acceptance, and purpose” in a coven they did a poor job.
The Brady Gang
Who’s the Street Boss?
Nine is Too Many
Two Men and a Juvenile Delinquent
That last one would just be re-runs.
To be fair, this was essentially the background of the comic book character as well…..except it was light-hearted and played for laughs, much like that first Adams Family movie.
Is this a TV show? Frankly, I gave up my TV several years ago just because it all was witches, demons and zombies (and reality shows, I guess). Maybe you remember that period. Maybe it’s still all the same. I don’t know. Has cable gotten wholesome?
Regarding any witch-type shows, I don’t think they ever were created to turn off the viewer to evil forces, but to get people under thirty (perhaps) to choose a powerful side. For most people I think, magic and witchcraft have an empowering personal and social appeal even if it brings you right into the heat of battle, a lot like being Antifah these days.
You don’t have to repeat yourself.

At least we know you’re not a “vote for the lesser evil” type.
