Chilling Adventures of Sabrina 3: The third season of Kiernan Shipka, Gavin Leatherwood, Ross Lynch, Miranda Otto and Lucy Davis’ supernatural horror series started streaming on Netflix from Friday. After the successful and exciting season 2, fans had to wait for months to know what happens further.
The second season ends with a major revelation that Gavin Leatherwood’s character Nicholas Scratch aka Nick used to follow the Dark Lord aka Lucifer’s (played by Luke Cook) orders to lure Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) into his trap. Dark Lord intended to impregnate his daughter to gain more powers over all the worlds. However, Sabrina manages to put an end to all his plans when she crowns Lilith (played by Michelle Gomez) as the Queen of Hell. The second season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina ends with the loss of many lives of the students from the Academy of the Unseen Arts and the High Priest of Church of the academy Father Faustus Blackwood (played by Richard Coyle) absconding after being exposed.
Now that season 3 is out, read below to know what makes it worth watching and what it lacks:

1. Performances
Kiernan Shipka is incredible as Sabrina Spellman yet again. Her character has to deal with a sea of emotions. The actress manages to pull off every scene – emotional, heartbreak, happiness, furiousness with much-required conviction. Coming to Gavin’s character Nick, he excels in this season. After the Dark Lord captures his body to survive after made to weaken by his daughter, Nick’s rage is out of control and when he’s calm, it keeps you guessing. Kudos to Gavin for portraying the complexity with such an impeccable act. Michelle as Lilith and Miranda’s Zelda who have always been strong women forces in their respective ways have a lot to deal with in the third season and they impress you too.
2. Sabrina’s character development
Even though Kiernan is incredible in her ways, we wish the makers had shown Sabrina as powerful as she was in the second season. Sabrina was a badass in the second season but due to so many things on her platter this time, her character development seems stagnant. Considering she takes over a major responsibility and power which we won’t reveal, we wish more focus was given on that particular part.
