I just saw the first episode of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and quite enjoyed it, gonna see how this series goes.

Didn't even realise Michelle Gomez was going to be in it til she popped up in the opening scene.

Blackadder Goes Forth is a magnificent bit of TV. Its also on iPlayer at the moment.

Its amusing to see Mr Bean, House and an archaeologist in the trenches.

If anyone else is watching American Horror Story Apocalypse, with only 3 episodes left this season, do you think next season is the first true sequel in the series?? So many questions to be answered in 3 episodes just doesn't seem plausible

Totally digging the new Sabrina show, finds a nice balance between camp and horror and episode five felt like something closely tied to Buffy. It's not perfect by any means, but I'm so here for something to even start filling the void that Buffy left and I think it's doing a lot of things right, which makes it real fun to watch. 

[Gazz]

Judging by the trailer, that is not the path I expected a Sabrina the Teenage Witch reboot to go down.

[St. Dubb]

Source material is the comic Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, not the TV show which was based on the comic Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I'm guessing there's definitely a lot of people out there very confused if they start watching expecting a family friendly sitcom.

[Adam]

I really like the twist on it. I watched Sabrina as a kid and had no idea it was based on a comic, much less one in the same universe as Archie.

If I was describing the tone and presentation of this series to someone who hasn't seen it, I'd say it's a bit like if American Horror Story had a slightly lower age rating.

[Benjamin]

Is it a spin off of Riverdale? Because if so I'm sure it'll be amazing. 

[Adam]

It is yeah, although I've not seen Riverdale and the showrunners said they won't do crossover between them at least in the first few series.

[MalaCloudy Black]

It was originally commissioned by the CW as a companion series to Riverdale.

Big Mouth is great. Did you guys watch Big Mouth? You should. 

[LittleDaniel]

But what if I find Nick Kroll suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper grating?

I would still suggest it. I wasn't sure of it for awhile for similar reasons but I eventually gave it a shot and love it. It helps that his best work on the show is as people other than his main character. Plus, John Mulaney and Maya Rudolph are amazing in it so that makes up for it too. 

[Jimmy]

Yeah, Big Mouth is ridiculous and great. I just finished the first season, which is definitely hit and miss, but it's worth it when it hits. 

Finished Sabrina - flawed but loads of potential for a second season and I was totally into it.

Saul Goodman is one of my favourite characters ever.

Made a note on my diary on the way here; Simply says: Bugger.

The CW is remaking The 4400

 

Honestly, I'm a little surprised this hadn't happened sooner. 

[K]

i loved that show, was so disappointed when they cancelled it.

[KingofHarts_OH]

I loved that show and am extremely excited that it will be coming back! Any of the original cast coming on board?

[livid]

I would assume not since it's a reboot but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few connections to the original. I doubt Mahershala Ali would be one of them, though.
