Warning: Spoilers
Centennial charmed starts with Cole missing his ex-wife, but instead of spending the next one hundred years without her he accepts a bribe from the Avatars to turn back time and stop the charmed ones from reconstituting. Paige having a cold orbs out before the time ripe and ends up in an alternate universe where demons they vanquished still roam and innocence they saved are dead. While it was an interesting look at what could be the set up is weak since it wasn't Paige who broke them up, but the source being vanquished and being absorbed into his being. If he had really wanted to win Phoebe back he would know that she isn't evil and could never be happy without her family. Phoebe has affairs, smokes to calm her nerves and seems filled with rage every time they talk which should've made Cole realize sooner to try time travel once again instead of letting it play out making the character very stupid.

Another thing is the seer lives, should've been the oracle, talking about the source before switching to the baby prophesied get its never explained if they plan to take over the underworld or if it's so he can have his son and leaves you confused. Piper and Leo are divorced which feels realistic from the stress or riff caused by the interference of avenging Prue's death and trying to save Phoebe being to much to handle on top of everyday wiccian duties. Though Cole's death for the finale time feels like it lost it's poetic license it still was full of heartache for what they once had and the cgi skull was terrifying. While not my ideal way to end their relationship once and for all at least it ended on a bang before it became a dead horse.
