Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018)
Good ideas, messy storytelling
The concept alltogether (especially in the first 2 seasons), the satanic jokes are excellent and fresh ideas. I loved the atmosphere, the looks, that you cant't tell by the dresses and scenes if it takes place in the 60's or not. They approaches the satanic culture in a very interesting way, and the series is sometimes very funny, next to the fact, that this series is a teen/scary/love story. Sometimes it was quite terrifying, which in this situation is a good point, and the romance/fright/teen movie jokes were in a good balance in the first 2 seasons. BUT After season 2 (where the storytelling was quite clear and the concept was coherent) a lot of new storylines came in and everything went off the track.
***SPOILER***
We lost the coherence of the concept, main bad guy (who we thought is the biggest enemy in the universe) became a father-like funny side-character, new religions came in, without any clue or evidence, that this is a real option, and there are any other religions working next to what we've seen, so in season 3 everything became a messy goo.
***END OF SPOILER***
Season 4 was a little simpler, the storyline went guite straight again (it didn't happen to be that good as the first 2), but the last season went a little bit too far in the funny teen-movie direction, some scenes were too comedy-like and rom-com like to me in comparison to the serious and dangerous main storyline, which was sometimes bothering, and made the atmosphere fallen apart. At leas the story was ended properly, and in my opinion ended well. So alltogether it's good, there are good ideas and good jokes in it, it is a funny teen-horror series with subtle love-lines, and very good style.
Death and Nightingales (2018)
3 sentence long plot in 3 hours....so slow.
The plot is very plain. It was painfully slow and empty. I can't recommend it, but I gave 5 stars because the music, the picture and the scenery was quite enjoyable and the characters weren't black and white.
