I applaud this move. The Sabrina comic book is pretty dark, and having it on the same network with Riverdale would suggest a connection that isn't there. Yeah, B&V show up in Sabrina, but as amateur witches -- an entirely different take on the characters than Riverdale.
Plus. being on Netflix allows Sabrina to go hard R without controversy -- if that's the direction they want to go.
