😐 I've given it a real effort. I have. I really wanted to love it! I fully understand that it's not a continuation of the original, and also not a reboot. It's supposed to be its own Charmed entity. It's just....lacking.
It would have been better if it had been written (& promoted) as it's own show, separate from the Charmed universe. By using that name, it was held to an expectation level that was pretty high within the Charmed fandom. And it falls very very short.
I won't even get into all the things that are just not right about the show. I am still trying really hard to like it. I've watched every episode so far, and can't connect. It does have its moments, but I find myself getting distracted often. It just can't hold my attention for very long. The stories seem forced, the sisterly connection is not there, and the magic is cheesy. I will watch all the episodes that air, just to give it an honest chance, but it does not in any way come close to the feel of the original.
