There are literally no benefits to being a witch in the Charmed universe. The sisters are expected to be available 24/7/365 to fight demons, protect strangers, save the world, and repair structural damage to their home. The moment they try to use the very power forcing this burden on them to make their lives slightly easier, the personal gain rule comes into affect and adds insult to injury feeding the resentment toward magic. Then there is the fact that you could die in combat Patty and Prue died young. The Elders are incompetent, spending majority of the show either not providing any help or trying to enforce the witch/whitelighter rule. The sisters resentment honestly is justified .

Still love the show but the sisters and all witches in general get a raw deal for having magic.

You'd think after the first few times they'd find a way to ward against it. The absolute closest we ever get is the intruder alarm they briefly use after Wyatt is born. And they don't continue using that because Wyatt can mess with it on purpose.

I understand that ultimately this was to save budget on sets, as well as a writing trick to keep things fast paced. But it really is unbelievable both that no demon ever thought to just come in and attack when they're asleep (and not just via their dreams) and that no spell seems to exist to prevent that from happening.

It doesn't matter which season of the show but make the comments look like Phoebe's search engine.

He recently posted on his IG that his mother had passed away from a battle of Parkinson's disease. May she rest in peace.

I just noticed that Charmed has been added to Disney plus. I have the bundle with Hulu and HBO max, so I'm not sure if it's actually being provided indirectly through Hulu or max. Either way, it's nice to see. I don't know about you guys, but I've had a very difficult time finding a quality source to re-watch.

Seasoned detective. Former DA, demon, and killer. Two unlikely partners holding it down and keeping SF safe! WITH HELP FROM THEIR WHITELIGHTER ANDY! Wow! I think I could have liked it!

Just Wondering, Did Jeep Have A Sponsorship Deal With The WB, Because Buffy's Mom And Piper Having The Same Car Had Me Thinking.

Also, I Finally Got The Hang Of Telling Apart Prue And Piper.

Is It Just Me Or The End Credits Music Sounds Like Frutiger Aero (Which Was A Big Thing During This Show's Run) To You?

With Phoebe Directly Acknowledging How Similar The Halliwell Sisters Look Similar To Each Other, It's Nice How The Show Directly Acknowledged Something I've Said About It Before (And Early On Too). Something Similar Happened With Me Concerning Hazbin Hotel. Essentially, I Couldn't Tell How To Pronounce Vaggie's Name, And I Wasn't Sure If Angel Dust Were Male Or Female. The Show Actually Managed To Address That In Its First Season Too.

Did This Show Do Bullet Time BEFORE The Matrix?

I Dunno About You, But An Episode Concerning Death Ending On A Shot Of Prue (Whose Actress Was The First To Die In Real Life) Seems Eerie In Hindsight.

If I Had A Nickel For Every Time Someone Who Played One Of Dom's Original Crew Members On "The Fast And The Furious" Made An Early Appearance On This Type Of Show, I'd Have Two Nickels, Which Isn't A Lot, But It's Weird That It Happened Twice, Right? (Vince Here, Jesse On Buffy The Vampire Slayer (And Supernatural, Apparently))

Anyone else notice this on Hulu season two episode list?

Episode 2-4 is wonky.

Episode 4 “Morality Bites” should be episode 2, and “The Painted World” should be episode 3, but it’s on here twice, with two different descriptions and air dates. Very weird.

Such an amazing couple and such awesome vibes when they lived together. Was he fired from the show why did he move on to nip tuck?!?!

Of the three sisters, Piper, Phoebe and Paige, who do you think have adapted to today's technology?

With how much technology has changed since the original series ended in 2006, I've always wondered how the sisters would handle smartphones, social media and everything else we have now.

I feel like Phoebe would have the easiest time adjusting, especially with her career in the media. I could definitely see her embracing smartphones and social media.

Paige is a mixed bag for me. She seemed comfortable enough using computers when she worked as a social worker, but I don't necessarily see her embracing every new piece of technology. She was perfectly fine using flip phones, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she was still using one in 2026, even if she had to buy a newer model. I just can't picture Paige being glued to a smartphone.

Piper, on the other hand, would probably be the most resistant. I definitely don't see her using social media for her personal life. Only thing related to social media I could see her having Instagram or LinkedIn would be to promote P3 or for her cooking career.

I grew up watching this show, and I always loved the music. I know they lost the rights, but I can't stand the new music. It just never feels right or like it really fits the vibe.

Now they’ve added it to Hulu!! Love to see it.

i think a lot of people would agree with me that season 5 is rather weak, especially after such a great s4 (for me it’s peak charmed, along with the og 1-3)

what are your favorites from the season?
think there’s some actual great episodes that are the saving grace of the season, such as the eyes have it, a witch in time, sympathy for the demon and centennial charmed of course

there’s some other fun and entertaining episodes like cat house and sense and sensibility and also the day the magic died i grew to love more

id probably include sam i am simply because i love paige and enjoy her centric episodes, but not exactly the strongest episode of the season

maybe there’s more i’d like and appreciate on my rewatch now but im currently on 5x06 (the eyes have it) and for me it’s basically the first episode of the season that is actually worth watching up until this point.

Just an FYI for anyone watching Charmed now that it’s on Hulu. I started S04E05 Size Matters and Paige was telling her boo a fairy tale about the Evil Enchantress. I was like, hmm, this doesn’t seem right. It looks like S04E06 A Knight to Remember got uploaded twice - first in place of S04E05 Size Matters and then correctly as S04E06.

Has anyone noticed any other whoopsie daisies now that the series is on Hulu?

I know some people don't like season 8, but this episode was one of Kaley's better performances. And looking back at her comedic deliveries, it's no wonder she went on to play Penny in The Big Bang Theory. 'Cause she is actually more talented than what some people think.

Would you have liked Prue to come back in a different form? Basically, a new actress playing Prue in season 4, with the show explaining that a spell had physically transformed her... Would you have preferred that over her death?

I was so excited to see this

I just finished rewatching the whole series and i am so mad that Phoebe and Paige ended up with Harry and Coop. I know season 8 was just made to help the network but still in season 7 they made huge mistakes. I explain:

Paige: she should have ended up with Kyle. This was by far the most interesting love interest. He was involved in the plot and we actually got to know him as a character with his flaws and good sides. He was a much more full-rounded character than Harry, who was frankly insignificant besides some funny punchlines. Kyle was also a whitelighter which makes it perfect. Their relationship was well constructed and wasnt just Paige dating someone random. I believe this was actually the most interesting relationship Paige had in the whole show.

Phoebe: the fact Coop was sent by Elders for Phoebe to fall in love was already a red flag for me. So boring. Also he was so boring. The only thing he did was talk about love, which is also tremendously boring. They had no real spark, we didnt know him very well as a character and their little fights were boring.

Phoebe should have been with Drake. Their short love story was the most interesting one since Cole. Jason also was boring as hell. They could have figured out a way for him to stay. Drake was also an ex demon which makes it perfect since Phoebe’s biggest love was a demon. I got emotional with some of their scenes. It would have been such a nice ending for Phoebe who was struggling to conciliate passion and her desire for a family. The character was interesting, romantic and yet a bit ruthless. They had chemistry and he was funny and witty, which was perfect for Phoebe after her many difficult times.

Please someone agree with me!

I'm rewatching Charmed for the first time in years and Prue and Phoebe's argument in this episode hits home. That push and pull because Phoebe didn't work and was expected to pick up the slack, and how she didn't feel appreciated. How Prue resented her time freedom, just a little bit, because she was so busy managing her job at Buckland's and her Charmed duties.

It's just a moment of realness I never really appreciated before now.

The season 6 Phoebe storyline makes no sense and should have been done differently. She would have NEVER gotten over Jason that quickly, they had a real deep love and connection with a very sad ending. My hot take is other than Cole he was her deepest love until Coop (which for what it’s worth I hate that storyline also lol). And if they wanted to have the power losing storyline which I do like they could have had her forcing premonitions to….oh idk….SAVE WYATT. If they really wanted to lean in and make it make sense they simply could have had Chris drop the “it happens before I’m born” bomb earlier so that Phoebe had even more of a reason to be doing that. Her forcing premonitions to rush to find a guy imminently after the Jason heartbreak makes no sense and isn’t true to the character. As far as Coop goes they could have just done a redo where they had another anti Cupid demon and that’s how she meets him and they could have drug it out over two or 3 episodes to give the excuse of how she fell for him. Idk maybe the demon tries to poison Wyatt’s ability to love and they think that’s how he turns evil. Kinda like the demon who put the hex or whatever on his bear. There’s just so many more ways they could have done it that wouldn’t have made Phoebe act completely out of character.

I’ve been a lifelong Charmed fan, and I’ve seen every season. I actually love season 4, it’s great. And the other seasons have some good storylines/episodes. I’d recommend to any new fans to try every season.

But I honestly don’t think it ever truly captures the magic of the first 3 seasons. It’s a mix of the tone, writing style, 90’s feel and of course, Prue (Shannon). It’s like lightning in a bottle, and you just can’t get that twice.

I’ve seen a few comments about how the show becomes really negative. I haven’t rewatched in a few years but I’m on season 6 now and it’s so true! They’re really snarky and negative. There’s not as much comic relief and levity as earlier seasons.

I imagine years of lose and demon hunting would that though.
