The “Charmed” redo is stronger when it goes for a laugh--at moments the style of humor brings to mind “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”--than when it goes all-in on supernatural theatrics involving its three sister lead characters.
-
Despite the timeliness of this dialogue, Charmed plays like a throwback to the schlocky original, which aired in the 1990s and to which it is surprisingly faithful in spirit. ... Charmed is more supernatural procedural than serial drama.

Figuring out how to make Mel, Maggie and Macy more fully inhabited characters and tapping better into their witchy powers and their big, mythology-driven mission is the next step that made me wish I'd been able to watch a couple more episodes. It's rare to see a show of this type that puts so much effort into nailing down the subtext only to leave the text and its execution so frequently limp.

The first episode of the new “Charmed” is clunkier than Rose McGowan’s late-‘90s shoe game. That said, a pilot’s job is to clearly let viewers know what the series is going to be about.

Oct 14, 2018The new Charmed is a mess. Bad casting. Very poor writing... just horrible. Full of political innuendos.
Not even watchable! -
Oct 14, 2018Charmed? More like SJWed. Can we make a white version of The Cosby Show?! Of course not, that would be ridiculous. Get it?

Oct 14, 2018As a fan of the original series, I tried to enjoy this. Let's put it this way, I would be surprised if it lasts the whole season.
