I wasn't as impressed by Sabrina as I was hoping to be. A lot of my friends told me the first season was amazing, and that I would enjoy the many crazy things happening all over. However, by the fifth episode I was growing so tired of all the characters that I almost gave up hope that it would get any better. Sabrina is not likable at all, she does some questionable things, and even with everyone against her in the ninth episode, this changes nothing. Harvey is dull, the aunties are crazy comical, and while I was bitter at Salem not being able to talk, the end scene with Wardwell and her bird convinced me that not having a talking cat was for the better. I am glad people enjoyed this series, and I get why they did, but to me it runs into the same flaws as the Charmed revival does, too little time spend on the characters and their reactions to situations, no growth at all, not even one of these characters gets close to being a 3 dimensional character (except for maybe Hilda). Characters make decisions that make no sense with their personalities - I am looking at you Sabrina - and go from thinking one thing to the direct opposite without a span of two scenes - looking at Harvey at this moment.

This was my rant. Thank you for listening in.
