If there’s one thing for certain, it’s that Melissa Joan Hart’s Sabrina Spellman would never participate in a teen orgy with her cousin (of all people), but that’s just not the Sabrina Spellman that Netflix gave us. No, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is darker, a lot darker. It’s the kind of dark that simultaneously scandalizes Fox News and the Satanic Temple, two parties you’d think would be ferociously batting for different teams, at least publicly.
The same month that the New York Times revealed Netflix and Warner Bros. had amicably settled their lawsuit with the Satanic Temple (presumably, all parties retained their souls), the series made headlines again for an uncomfortably steamy underage sex scene. In the Episode 7 scene, artfully set to Fiona Apple’s “Criminal,” Kiernan Shipka’s Sabrina walks in on her cousin Ambrose; his boyfriend Luke; her love interest Nicholas Scratch; and all three of the Weird Sisters having what appears to be a teen orgy. Sabrina is told to either get in or get out, and she gets out.
In Netflix’s defense, no one in the scene was actually naked, and Prudence was about to die in a ritual sacrifice. Still, it’s always going to be a little awkward watching a 16-year-old potentially have a seven-some with her relative, no matter how many times removed. Harvey Kinkle would never approve.
