In defense of rebooting Charmed

The Mary Sue

The CW’s announcement that it has ordered a pilot for a “fierce, funny, feminist" reboot of The WB female-led series “sounds super millennial and I’m here for it,” says Princess Weekes. She adds: “As someone who grew up watching the show and owns the giant box set that is designed to look like the Book of Shadows, I can say that while I loved Charmed it does not age well as a series. The first four seasons are pretty good fun with some good storylines in Seasons Three and Four, but after the fourth season, everything just starts to fall apart.”
