Charmed (2018)
Spellbinding Disappointment
CW should issue a formal apology to 'Charmed' fans and anyone who wasted their time watching this unprofessional and in-genuine Pilot episode of a "reboot". I cannot believe the writers had such distain for the original source material that they had to cheapen the entire franchise's concept of family and magic.
Having to be told about their heritage rather than discovering their legacy for themselves? Replacing "orbing" with something out of Farscape? Using a weak Wesley-like "Whitelighter" that doesn't willingly use his energy to heal? Recycling special effects from recent shows? Forcing blatant political stereotypes when people just want to escape from the real world for an hour? CW had the perfect sequel series served on a silver platter with the Charmed Children and original cast still at the ideal ages to be involved. And this is what they give us?
The actresses and actors involved in this project will go on to bigger and better productions because the heart and hope of this show has been staked and pulverized. Even YouTube fans of the original Charmed have outperformed with imaginative storylines and a mere fraction of the budget CW will now have to write off.
