TV show description:
Based on The WB’s series which ran from 1998 to 2006, the Charmed TV show is a supernatural fantasy drama centering on the Vera sisters –Melanie (Diaz) and Maggie (Jeffery) — whose mother, Marisol (Cruz), dies in what at first appears to be a tragic accident. Three months after losing their mom, Mel and Maggie discover they have an older sister, Macy (Mantock), whose existence their mother had kept a secret.
Following in her mother’s footsteps, Mel is a woman’s studies grad student at Hilltowne University. On the other hand, Maggie is a freshman who is considering joining a sorority and has a off-and-on relationship with Brian (Gillespie). Meanwhile, Macy is an accomplished geneticist.
Macy wants to connect with her sisters, but Mel, who has been unable to accept the official explanation of Marisol’s death, just can deal with this surprise and shuts her out. With their emotions heightened, all three sisters start exhibiting new abilities.
While Mel realizes she can freeze time, Maggie can read people’s thoughts, and Macy starts exhibiting telekinesis. Harry Greenwood (Evans), who they thought was taking over Marisol’s department at Hilltowne, tells the sisters that there is a good explanation for their new powers. In actuality though, Harry is a “Whitelighter,” ie a witch’s guide.
When the women learn their mother’s death was not an accident, Mel feels somewhat vindicated. It turns out their Marisol was murdered by mysterious dark forces. Now these young women have to accept their destiny as “The Charmed Ones” and devote themselves to protecting humanity from the demons that prowl the earth.
As they learn to harness the “Power of Three,” the sisters realize they are stronger together — even though they’re up against the unknown evil which killed their mom.

What do you think? Do you like the Charmed TV series? Should this TV show be cancelled or renewed for another season on The CW?
I tried to watch the opening episode. But they have gone from being a fun sci-fi fantasy show to such a PC driven show that it’s almost unwatchable. They tried to hit all the political/social justice button but completely missed the entertainment part. LESS politics and more entertainment PLEASE. And it would help if anyone on this train wreck acted like they at least knew some of the others much less liked them.
Sorry folks, but you didn’t do “Charmed” justice…reboot or not ! The story line is all cut up so it doesn’t flow properly and there just doesn’t seem to be any chemistry between any of the actors. Plus…and I know it’s not his fault…but the actor playing “Harry”, who is speaking English, but the accent is soooo heavy and he speaks so fast, without enunciating, that it makes it very difficult to understand him ! I really wish the Movie AND TV industry would STOP doing remakes of movies and TV shows…you really CAN’T improve on the original !
Just change the name as an show it an 74% C grade show “good chach up show when board” but the name don’t stat with ” p” so 72% but the bad guys don’t blow up when you flash the number ten with your hands at them so witch is how everyone fie the whole way though on the show so 64% with s leasbain though in there just to try to get people to say ok let’s see some girl on girl. But in reality they are only looking up clips on YouTube where the girls kiss.
Loved the original Charmed. Enjoyed the reboot, look forward to more episodes!
I was a huge fan of the original and I’m happy they chose to make this different. I love it. I hope it gets renewed.
Yeah, go hardcore fans! Show your hatred. Shove Charmed franchise to EARLY GRAVE. Let CW knows we want NO CHARMED ever again back on tv. Ok, that’s sarcastic comment… To be honest, I’ve watched too many hardcore fans killing the show they love the most. One recent example is Stargate Universe. Thanks to hardcore fans, Stargate franchise is FINISHED. No tv channel wants to air new Stargate because they think NOONE want to watch it. Stargate is DEAD. And the people behind that franchise is having hard time to pick it up. So if you’re really Charmed FAN, you must… Read more »
It is bad, bad, bad. Get rid of it. It will not work. You have it all wrong.
At least the cinematography is great… That’s a plus, right? The demon… He looks more real than the ones in the original Charmed.
I agree with Jon also… Sorry CW, I tried watching the reboot and had to turn it off about 15 minutes into it. Horrible writing and acting. Please dont say it pays homage to the original because it’s not even in or around the same ball park. Cancel the show before we all have a bad taste even for the original. Thanks…
Really loved the reboot of charmed!
I love it too. I know it’s not the same. But we need new dosage of Charmed. The cinematography is really great. Esp the demon. Ohhh so real. If only the ol Charmed had had convincingly-looking demons.
The show was horrible and needs to be canceled immediately they never should have tried to reboot it in the first place you cannot replace the original and any true fan of the Charmed series will find this reboot a complete joke
Agree
First of all, it’s not trying to replace anything. This new Charmed isn’t erasing the original. Also, this is also not made for the original Charmed fans, it’s nade for NEW fans, so I’d settle down if I were you. As an original Charmed fan myself, I’m so disappointed by the people who are calling for a show to be cancelled just because their poor wittle fragile baby feelings got a wittle bit upset over people and time moving on. Let the new people like the new Charmed and you don’t have to watch it. Stop trying to cancel a… Read more »
the key demographic that any show targets is between the ages of 18-49. Fans of the original show are right smack dab in the middle of this demographic. After watching the ratings the past couple weeks there has been a major drop off in this age group. Maybe it’s people not watching because they love the original so much that this horrible show is a mockery to the original, or that people are not tuning in because of the liberal left wing propaganda that is being shoved down our throats. What ever the case may be the ratings have declined… Read more »
