Charmed 2018 is good, offering up all one could want from a supernatural adventure series. It’s well cast; witty and fun; a little satirical, a little more suspenseful, but with solid emotional grounding (and the promise of romance); a little physical but with nothing too explicit in the way of violence. That it doesn't take itself too seriously doesn’t mean it won’t make you jump.

The Charmed reboot is indeed funny and fierce, with a political edge that places the show firmly in 2018.
-
The power of three still packs an entertaining jolt in The CW's reboot. The characters are new, but the fundamentals remain intact. [12 Oct 2018, p.44]
-
For a network where youthful heroes and battling the supernatural often go hand in hand, Charmed casts a breezy spell.

Unfortunately, it feels as if the new writers have outright disdain for the source material, so arbitrary and widespread are these changes. ... Not all of the changes are problematic. Matching the sisters' fight against demons with the #MeToo movement and other feminist protests against the patriarchy is a smart move, if executed with a heavy hand in the premiere. Setting the series on a college campus is an ideal way to bring those social and and supernatural issues together.

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.
