I loved the original Charmed, that and Buffy and Angel were the three shows I was addicted to!
Unlike a lot of the reviewers I have watched every episode of the reboot and I do like it, definitely not as much as the original but I do like it.
As long as I don’t do what the other reviewers do and try to see it as them trying to be identical to the original sisters. That’s not what they’re doing, they are a completely different family and I’d actually be upset if they did make them exactly like the original!
I’m ok with their powers that are slightly different then the originals, someone mentioned that Pru used her power to throw people, while this one just uses it to move objects....well yeah, in the original Pru also started small, it makes sense to think of it as an unused muscle, you’re not going to be able to go straight to lifting heavyweights!
I’m also ok with their mother only dying in the first episode.
As for the youngest being completely shallow, yes she is, but so was Phoebe in the beginning, but she matured!
I’m ok with one of them being a lesbian, I am NOT OK with her being a man hater! That doesn’t fit into Charmed at all!
Also don’t like that they’re using black magic, not white magic.
And as for their whitelighter...Harry has definitely grown on me and I really like him, but then again, I’m a huge Buffy fan and her watcher was always a stuffy British guy.
All in all, this is not the original Charmed, but unless it involved the original characters or their legacy I wouldn’t want it to be.
and so far not as good as the original, but I still like it, and hope that it will improve.
