Chilling Adventures of Sarbina: Lucy Davis is the highlight this season as Hilda

by Callum Gunn

I’m not quite finished the second season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but I don’t need to be in order to say how much Lucy Davis is the highlight this season as Hilda.

When the Chilling Adventures of Sarbina premiered last year on Netflix I was, well, meh, about the series. It was OK, certainly nothing to shout and praise about and because of that, I wasn’t too sure I was going to watch Season 2.

I put it on anyway when I had nothing else to watch one night and very quickly I was hooked. Season 2 completely wipes the floor when compared to Season 1. It is so much better in a number of ways, from the darker, grittier storyline, to the humor, to Theo, and Hilda. Especially Hilda.

Simply put, Lucy Davis is the highlight of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 2 as Hilda.

I think the main reason why Lucy Davis shines so much in Season 2 is that she gets a much bigger role. A role that no longer shows her as the airy-fairy type aunt. She still has those characteristics, but she is also portrayed as a freaking badass this time around.

Now, I’ll admit, I haven’t finished watching the new season yet. I’ve only just got up to the bit where the witch hunters show up. So there could be more examples of why Hilda is so great on the way, but here are some of the reasons why she has been the highlight of the season so far.

First of all, Hilda being able to calm any storm; because you just don’t mess with Hilda.

Then, of course, is Hilda and her relationship with Dr. Cerberus. The mortal/not mortal. Those two together are basically relationship goals. I don’t normally care or talk about relationships in Netflix original’s, but this one is an exception. It’s a cute relationship after all. Also, watching Hilda try to seduce Dr. Cerberus was just hilarious.

But, the one thing that has truly made Hilda stand out in this season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is seeing how much of a badass she is. Hilda is a dark horse. Someone not to be underestimated. Because if you do, you might find yourself eating some Almond cookies!
