I know it sounds kind of crazy to call Netflix's reboot of Sabrina The Teenage Witch "ground breaking". But given its adherence to the excellent source material (Afterlife With Archie/Chilling Adventures), and unflinching exploration of Satanism as a legitimate philosophy, that's exactly what it is. There is so much this show does right; the lead character is a strong female protagonist, but without the hangups of a tumultuous love life. Instead, her relationship is rock solid, and healthy. Throughout the course of the show she also seeks to uplift her fellow witches, even as they may attempt to tear her down.
The acting here is pretty much universally exceptional, and the technical aspects are fun as well. In particular, the lighting creates incredible mood and a surplus of cool looking shots, greatly augmenting whatever the low-ish (it is Netflix after all) production values of TV. Highly recommend to fans of Buffy, Riverdale, or the occult in general.
