What do the original cast of Sabrina the Teenage Witch think of Netflix's new series? You're about to find out.

For a new series promo video by Netflix, Melissa Joan Hart, who played our heroine Sabrina in the '90s TV series, is joined by the delightful Nate Richert, who played Harvey, to watch Chilling Adventures of Sabrina for the first time.

Meanwhile, Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick, boss aunts Hilda and Zelda respectively, also tuned in. And they had quite a few things to say.

"This is not our Sabrina!" said Rhea. "We would have never allowed Sabrina to behave that way," added Broderick, although Rhea says she likes the new "political ... empowered" Sabrina.

Importantly, everyone likes the new Salem, which Rhea says looks more real than the "alcoholic rabbit wearing a hairpiece" from the '90s show.
