I have been a true fan of Original Charmed since I was a kid. And I knew it would be hard to top or even make a reboot that could compare. I was right.
After the first couple minutes into the first ep, I realized I was going to have to seperate it from the “Charmed” that I knew and loved. To say the reboot was a disappointment is a understatement. It lacked all of the “charm” of the original series & comes off very progressive, feminist & obnoxious.
I see the story the writers were going for, very pro women. Not a bad thing, when done well, respectfully & with balance. Pipers character was a “man hating” lesbian & that was very disappointing to see. I assumed they would have a lgbt character, expected it in light of today’s hollywood. And I didn’t mind that! Just a shame they made her so awful, missed opportunity.
Losing “Piper & Leo” love, critical chemistry between the sisters & being so obnoxiously progressive/feminist/man hating put a nail in this shows hope of success.
Charmed deserved better but I don’t think it’s possible I’m todays society sadly, but I’m truly grateful for the original.
