I've never seen the original Charmed so I really can't compare the old and new. The show was good the first couple episodes but, some where along the line I have completely lost sight of the mission. So much is going on that doesn't make sense I'm really wondering will there be a season 2. I don't think a season 2 is needed especially if those that really watch this will have to wait a full month for a new episode. The season went from 13 episodes to like 18 which is weird. I think the idea of the show is great but, someone needs to go back to the drawing board before the audience dries up.
