    it's not even a TV show, just a mess tries to use glory of the original to make money, bad casting, using dirty drama to promo,...
    please show some respect to The Original Charmed and cancel this show

    The new Charmed is a mess. Bad casting. Very poor writing... just horrible. Full of political innuendos.
    Not even watchable!

    why can no one come up with an original idea? the original charmed aint that old. if you are going to reboot something, don't make it so obvious about the financial motive behind it --- let's remake a tv show that did very well, BUT NOW, we'll get the latino audience and pick up revenue from marketers that are dying to tap this audience. it's a shame and a crime.

    As 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.

    I was a fan of the original series as a kid, and I really looked forward to a reboot to capture the *ahem* charm of the original. Unfortunately, this paint-by-numbers SJW snooze-fest is a waste of time. Except perhaps as a cure for insomnia.

    I am sorry. I feel when a show was good before why go and screw it up. There were multiple political innuendos that were not even funny. I feel for a strong independent group of women in the original more then i do in the new one. The acting absolutely sucked, the show was boring, special effects felt like a rip off from titans and game of thrones. Frankly i expected a whole lot more.

    The origin built up the story of the Charmed Ones, this just throws in the story. I hope it gets better and the first 2 episodes were teething exercises.

    I was excited about a new Charmed series until it debuted. It is full of political innuendos, offensive to the senses for its blatant racism, rude and really bad acting. it was upsetting when they used the term "white privilege", white boy and well just to many to list. It wasn't entertaining just insulting. Is this what you want to teach the new generation?

    Second, it was awesome to start discovering more of that universe, the history behind them, their family, heritage, the demons they discovered and confronted... bit by bit, every week there was something new, a new mystery, suspense, fear, that was snark, fun, but also fear and dread in each episode....

    The new series, in just one episode, just destroyed all sense of wonder, mystery/suspense we could expect to have...

    The dialogue was all over the place, with hardly any dept, just trowing catchphrases all over the place and the characters (oh those pesky beings designed to make you want to watch the series/movies) had the emotional range of teaspoons, they hardly seemed affected by everything happening and took everything in stride....

    I mean come on really let's throw some baking soda on a demon. Mel is a lesbian fantastic but has zero chemistry with her girlfriend and she's angry and violent to the extent that she hits a man in the face. Not because he's an evil demon but because he has a different opinion. How is man-hating and being violent to a man feminist or empowering? Maggie comes off as an airhead whose only concern is getting into a sorority. Every single character talks about consent. Maggie's boyfriend has to ask permission to kiss her but she doesn't ask him and he's nearly unconscious and doesn't know where he is.

    Let's move onThe possessing demon made no sense and the main demon who put a girl in a coma (using drugs) after sexually assaulting her came straight from Game of Thrones. The death of a mother (Secret Circle) their house (Witches of Eastend) Book of Shadows (Beautiful Creatures) Charmed Poster (Demimonde) Harry's Powers (Harry Potter/Iron Man) Cold Demon (White Walker Game of Thrones).

    For a show that has promoted itself as being fresh and original, it has certainly pulled from a lot of other sources. Treating a man who is hurt, confused and had done nothing wrong like crap is not empowering. Casting an African American and African Carribean woman as being Latino is simply ratings baiting. There are many Latina woman who would have loved those parts. Casting a non-lesbian Latina to play a lesbian Latina is another miscast.    … Expand

    It is very painful to watch. What makes a reboot or a revival successful is that it holds nostalgic elements and incorporates the original cast into its story; whether it's a "passing of the torch" moment or still are active in the plotline. But this reboot only spits on what was once fun, progressive, and inspirational.

    What utter trash. The actresses are awful at acting (go figure). They don't come off as genuine or relatable... or even likeable. The plots are basically making fun of important equality issues as far as sexuality and women's rights.

    When Constance Burge created Charmed it was a fun adventure with three (and eventually a fourth) sisters. There were great stories and an emotional family bond that resonated in the stories.

There were great stories and an emotional family bond that resonated in the stories. Today we are presented with a "reboot" (in name only) that is more "in your face" with "Social Justice," extreme feminism, "Metoo" themes, being "woke," hysterical men, lesbianism, and ethnic diversity than any show previously.

    It is as if every mantra of the current man-hating Misandrist movement is encapsulated in this program. It is so over the top that the enjoyment of just being entertained is completely sucked out of the show. These ethnically "diverse" kids are not Charmed. They ARE the demonstration of feminism, Social Justice Warriors and the present day of political correctness and the #(pound) Metoo movement. They are "woke" as one character proclaims which is defined as "a political term of African American origin that refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice."

    If anything, this show is a further example of Hollywood demonizing white men. As far as being "Charmed" this show is ANYTHING but that. The Halliwell Sisters were and always will be "The Charmed Ones." They had a bond of sisterhood that showed and the program was not driving a political agenda like a freight train through a script. Hollywood can create a witch-themed show but call it what it is and not on the fake premise it is anything closely related to Charmed.    … Expand

They even killed a demon with a cellphone selfie as a rip off of the mirror killing a demon in the original Charmed. AND The blatant feminist extremism in episode 1 made me want to vomit.

    There was a point where THIS was said by one of the witches "LET HIM TELL PEOPLE, NO ONE WILL BELIEVE ANOTHER HYSTERICAL MAN"... "TRUE, IT'S A HE SAID, SHE SAID SITUATION" Chimes in another sister. "3 she's in fact" chimes in the third. "DON'T MESS WITH US, CAM. Go home and change your kaki's"... THEN to top it off, the screen cuts to the three sisters walking out of the college to the backdrop of a protest with signs that say AND I QUOTE... "MEN ARE BORN GUILTY", "END SEXUAL HARRASSMENT", "NO means NO!", the girls walking arm in arm smiling smugly. What the heck does this teach young girls?

    It is very difficult to call the series.
    The plots really stupid, the characters are flat and do not differ from each other absolutely nothing. If you watched the original series then you should not see this sequel. It simply pollutes the best vlasts of childhood.

    I don’t understand why this show is called CHARMED. It should be called "Boring Stories".

    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.

    The deluge of empowerment is relentless, repetitive, and boring. The supernatural elements of the plot seem borrowed from old episodes of Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The special effects are super-cheesy, not much better than an old episode of Bewitched.

    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.
