Customer Reviews

Fun to watch TV formula with a Witchy twist.

The advantage of the first season is that you get to see where it all started. We see how the three sisters become the Charmed Ones. And the program is new enough that we see how they learn to grow and adjust to their new situation. As with most TV programs, they must borrow plots, which makes it formulaic and mundane. The stories are all the same, and the witchy addition becomes blasé. You may also notice a change of cast as time goes by; this is not for the best. Anyway, the program can hold your attention even if it leaves you empty in the end. Holly Marie Combs plays Piper Halliwell in 179 episodes, 1998–2006
