DVD Reviews of Charmed - The Complete Series

DVD Review: Charmed: The Complete Series-An Era of Magic!!
Summary: 4 Stars

Charmed is a great supernatural series about 3 sisters who discover they're powerful witches and have to protect the innocent every week from the darkest of evils as the Charmed Ones. During the course of its 8 year run, Charmed had lots of ups and downs, having more downs than ups unfornately. From its dark and gloomy first season to the utter fluff of the final season, Charmed is a series that transformed dramatically, and it wasn't mostly for the best. Creator Constance Burge started the series on a very high note, making the first 4 seasons brilliant television while after her exit Brad Kern turned the series into a shadow of its former self and the show lost it's edge. Between main characters leaving (Shannen Doherty's Prue) to ridiculous story developments (Nymphs, Spider demons, etc), the show's last 4 seasons were mostly poor and lacked the true depth the series once had. But whatever the case, All 8 seasons can be summed up like this:

Season 1 (1998-1999)-It begins when Phoebe Halliwell moves back in with her sisters, Prue and Piper Halliwell. They are 3 normal, everyday sisters who each share a defining personality. Once Phoebe reads the words from the Book of Shadows, they become the Charmed Ones, the most powerful witches in the world. But being Charmed comes with a price when the sisters battle against a variety of warlocks and demons for the first time. But they are not alone as Inspector Andy Trudy, Prue's ex-boyfriend and partner Darryl Morris add the sisters as they struggle to learn the craft and balance they're lives.

Prue changes her work habits and becomes a photographer while Phoebe goes back to college. Piper has a tough decision to make when she, her new neighbor Dan and Leo are caught in a love triangle. But still, the sisters grow more dependent on each other and inner demons just as well as demonic ones plague them.

Description of Charmed - The Complete Series

This Boxset contains all 8 seasons of Charmed. CHARMED explores the relationship between three siblings, who after discovering that they possess magical powers, are reluctantly thrown into a world of supernatural evils. Phoebe, Paige and Piper must keep their identity as "the Charmed Ones" secret from the world, with only themselves to rely upon.
Charmed recaptured a period in the 1ate 1990s when television's WB network was particularly keen on series about the supernatural and specially-powered characters. The original home of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and future launch pad for Angel and Smallville, the WB debuted Charmed in 1998 with many of the same intriguing ironies that made those other shows click. Specifically, the greater a character's powers, the more vulnerable he or she becomes; the more superhuman, the more painfully obvious one's lonely, fragile humanity. The Halliwells, a trio of witch heroines and siblings at the center of Charmed, are a case in point. Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) returns to her San Francisco family home after losing her job, and moves in with her older sisters Prue (Shannen Doherty) and Piper (Holly Marie Combs). On her first night back, Phoebe finds the Book of Shadows left for them by their late mother and recites a spell giving all three women unique powers they were always meant to have. Prue suddenly has the gift of telekinesis, Piper can make time stand still, and Phoebe can see into the future. All well and good, but along with those extraordinary abilities comes a new awareness of dark forces in the world from which mortals need protection. In some cases, those forces have been plotting a long time to steal the Halliwells? magical legacy once they awakened to it--and now they will never let up. Indeed, the forces of the Underworld never do let up in Charmed, giving the Halliwells a major headache for the next eight seasons. Yet the show became about so much more than that, blending (again, like Buffy) the sisters? personal lives with their responsibilities as protectors and stewards of magic. Jobs, lovers, marriage, and children were just as prominent in Prue?s, Phoebe?s, and Piper?s thoughts and emotions as warlocks and leprechauns. In fact, Charmed peaked creatively when the whole of season three concerned the fallout of Phoebe?s romance and marriage to a disguised demon (Julian McMahon). The series? focus at that point was quite gripping, but it was inevitable that subsequent seasons would back off on such a singular perspective and develop a broader range of storylines. A major change in Charmed accompanied the departure of Shannen Doherty from the show at the end of season three, replaced by Rose McGowan as a fourth sister, Paige, unknown to either Phoebe or Piper. While Paige had the same mother (herself a witch) as the other two surviving Halliwell girls, her father was a so-called Whitelighter, essentially an angel. That combination gave Paige unique gifts that made Charmed even more fun (if slightly less compelling). But the loss of Doherty--the show?s best actress, who gave at least one bravura performance per season--proved significant. Charmed wasn?t quite the same, but it carried on, continuing to make new fans and maintaining a breathless pace and intriguing mix of the arcane and ordinary. --Tom Keogh
