I have a love hate relationship with this show. Originally I only watched it because Kiernan Shipka was the lead, so I wasn't expecting anything to really amaze me but... the first Season was actually pretty good. It had this element of mystery and dark horror that you don't get to see for the rest of the show, a few episodes felt a little crap, but overall the first season was peak.
Season 2 was also pretty good, but it felt like a massive step down from the first. I didn't like the romance that was starting to develop, I much preferred the romance in the first season and I didn't really care about Nick at all so it kinda lost me in that aspect. The horror here felt tame, and so did the gore - it just felt like a tamer version of the first season. Season 3 was pretty bad, and the music choices were awful. I think I hated every music scene this show had and all the covers, sure Kiernan has a great voice but the songs they chose are really shit imho. Besides that, Season 3 made no sense, like, it was all over the place, I didn't know what I was watching. Easily the worst season with a lot of cringe worthy writing.
Season 4 surprised me, I actually liked it as opposed to others. For me, it brought back the mystery of Season 1 and combined it with what it was trying to go for with Seasons 2 and 3 and it kinda worked. My only problem with this Season is that it was rushed near the end, and there was still a portion of the writing I did not like. I don't understand the teasing of Harvey and Sabrina's relationship in the previous Season when it goes nowhere and we go back to this boring kinda uninteresting relationship with Sabrina and Nick.
Overall, I don't think any of the romance and teen-y kinda things in the show are my style, I only care about the horror, mystery and mostly Kiernan Shipka. Kind of a mid show, enjoyable at times, awful at other times. Not sure what my final words are on it. I guess I can recommend it but don't expect anything amazing after Season 1.
