Charmed 2018 is good, offering up all one could want from a supernatural adventure series. It’s well cast; witty and fun; a little satirical, a little more suspenseful, but with solid emotional grounding (and the promise of romance); a little physical but with nothing too explicit in the way of violence. That it doesn't take itself too seriously doesn’t mean it won’t make you jump.
The power of three still packs an entertaining jolt in The CW's reboot. The characters are new, but the fundamentals remain intact. [12 Oct 2018, p.44]

I'm really disgusted with the negative OG fan bashing on this show and giving it zero reviews wanting it to fail out of some kind of avid devotion to the original. These are not reviews of people, who have watched the show itself, maybe the pilot. The pilot for the OG charmed was not released officially, and those who have seen it would have to be very self-deceptive to not admit it didn't really run on all cylinders. It would be impossible for any self respecting semi-objective viewer to watch what's released in the reboot so far and not see some merit. The show has picked up substantially since the pilot. I'm a fan of the original show who's given the new version a proper chance and it stands on it's own and has me invested.
Objectively, I'd probably give what I've seen so far as a whole an 8/10, but I'm doing what's right and going 10/10 to try to slightly balance out the biased smear campaign from people I'm sure haven't really watched much of it and are just trying to run a negative fan campaign to badmouth the show, probably in hopes of it being cancelled. Totally despicable.....

I want to live in that Victorian house! I love the sisters. I guess there is no way to do a step sister twist should one of them not work out, lol. The special effects are wonderful. Looks like it will be M cubed fun. Comparing what is the same and what is different is part of the fun.

Unfortunately, it feels as if the new writers have outright disdain for the source material, so arbitrary and widespread are these changes. ... Not all of the changes are problematic. Matching the sisters' fight against demons with the #MeToo movement and other feminist protests against the patriarchy is a smart move, if executed with a heavy hand in the premiere. Setting the series on a college campus is an ideal way to bring those social and and supernatural issues together.
Despite the timeliness of this dialogue, Charmed plays like a throwback to the schlocky original, which aired in the 1990s and to which it is surprisingly faithful in spirit. ... Charmed is more supernatural procedural than serial drama.
The first episode of the new “Charmed” is clunkier than Rose McGowan’s late-‘90s shoe game. That said, a pilot’s job is to clearly let viewers know what the series is going to be about.
This Charmed has its sights set on the Emmy for "Most PC Cliches Packed Into One Oppressively Long Drama Ever," and I think it might even win the lifetime achievement award the first season.
The original show balanced horror with comedy and supernatural threats. The update feels like sociology homework.
I absolutely LOVED the pilot to the new Charmed. i understand that a lot of people have a problem with the ethnicity of the cast and are writing bogus critiques because of this White Fragility. But the reality is that this show captured my interest from the first moments and kept it with cliffhangers from then on to the very end with the final twists. I am certain the actresses will hone their craft as the series continues. They are all certainly quite lovely and energetic. I look forward to seeing the show each week I would give it 100%

I am a huge fan of the original. I love how the show always represented strong women. I was excited to watch the new version of the Charmed ones. However the reboot is pushing a political agenda that is not needed. I just want to enjoy a show without biases. I hope future episodes are not so political.

First, let's start with the fact that there is no chemistry between the characters/actress, what made the original Charmed series so cool was that we could see the connection (the vibe) between the 3 main chars, the passed the feeling that they where, indeed, sisters with all the affection, fights, arguments that comes with it.
---
Second, it was awesome to start discovering more of that universe, the history behind them, their family, heritage, the demons they discovered and confronted... bit by bit, every week there was something new, a new mystery, suspense, fear, that was snark, fun, but also fear and dread in each episode....
---
The new series, in just one episode, just destroyed all sense of wonder, mystery/suspense we could expect to have...
---
Third, Where is the storytelling??? Where is the originality??? Seems like they where reciting cake recipes...
---
The dialogue was all over the place, with hardly any dept, just trowing catchphrases all over the place and the characters (oh those pesky beings designed to make you want to watch the series/movies) had the emotional range of teaspoons, they hardly seemed affected by everything happening and took everything in stride....
---
I watched the 1st episode with a sense of sadness but, it is good to know already and leave it behind. I will just go back to watching the original Charmed series (s01, s02 and s03).

Only the graphic is good, everything else ****. I repeat because my review must be at least 75 characters long. Everything else ****.
