My sister start to watch Charmed before me.

The series can make you keep your attention from the start till the end, and makes you curious about what is going to happen in the next episode. The cast is the best, besides this wonderful guy who plays Dan, Greg Vaughan, and my favourite, who plays Piper, Holly Marie Combs, the very funny and talented actress Alyssa Milano plays Phoebe and Shannen Doherty plays the powerful Prue.

The stories are always interesting, may be funny or really sad, but it always surprising, you never know what is going to come next. If you want to have some fun, start now and the only thing you'll regret is that you've lost the first episodes, like me.

The first 4 series are good, entertaining, funny on occasion, but half way through series 5 it goes downhill...fast. The stories become ridiculous, the acting is unconvincing and wooden, and the special effects are less than special.

This is a wonderful TV show with great episodes that, in serial fashion, depict a constant battle between good and evil. Evil, as in the Source, is very clever and wears many disguises. This is what's great about this show. Evil is never fully defeated, although the lackeys are destroyed quickly, the greater evil persists. This presents a constant challenge to the Power of Three and they must always be on their guard. Other WB shows allow the hero or heroine to win very easily and the hero or heroine is too sarcastic. Charmed, however, has the right mix of all elements and the writers appreciate that evil forces that are truly dangerous and formidable create a more rich, tense atmosphere. The fourth season was very good, and I liked Rose as Paige very much. The chemistry between the sisters also carries the show and their personalities seem real and three-dimensional, while other shows of this genre fail in that regard. This is one of the best written shows on television. It really deserves more critical recognition and respect, but if that doesn't happen, I'll still enjoy it.

Three sisters share a house in San Francisco. Being descended from witches they have special powers. They use these powers to fight crime and evil.

Entertaining. A tad formulaic but the plots are reasonably interesting. The three main characters are given depth and this contributes positively to the sub-plots and the engagement level.

Engagement does diminish from Season 4 onwards though. Rose McGowan / Paige is irritating and is not in the same league as Shannen Doherty / Prue.

The occult got very hip on television with the arrival of Charmed. The show centered on three sisters played by Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty. As the show opened these three sisters who are their own BFFs discover they're the descendants of witches. But witches like Glinda the good witch. That doesn't mean that someone usually not of flesh and blood wouldn't want to drop a house on them as all kinds of evil things are tried against one or all of them every week.

What made this show work was that these girls were quite modern. the ultimate 90s women. Young girls identified with him and men certainly would have chosen any one of them for adventure and romance.

Unfortunately Shannen Doherty as she did on 90210 was quite the behavioral problem and she left the show. Another sister played by Rose McGowan was rather clumsily introduced as we could not alter what the writers called The Power of Three from the show. When the women put their powers together, just like the Power Rangers they were unstoppable.

Reruns of Charmed are still proving popular today. My two nieces loved the show when it was in first run and still like the reruns.
