Not the worst show in history, BUT comes near in its genre of supernatural shows
<br />
Personally I have a lot of mixed views about Charmed. I've always loved
Buffy and is a big hard-core fan, and I've always loved supernatural
shows and movies. And when I first saw Charmed, I thought it was great.
Reasonably original. However, after a few seasons I started to get
bored. Because it seemed that all the episode are the same!!! I mean
how many times have all the same or similar plot lines have been used?
You know, especially the ones when one of the sisters turns evil or
some demon has come and try to take their powers away. And the endings
are always the same, you know, someone gets all emotional and start
getting all heroical and says some really lame and repeated stuff that
are meant to be inspiring but just dis-encourage people even more. But
nevertheless, the sisters just suddenly get some new brilliant ideas or
strength and vanquish the demon with some badly-rhymed spell.
Seriously, every episode it's always the same routine and the
characters just seem so two-dimensional. A lot of people compare Charmed with Buffy and I really don't think the
two are even in the same league. Buffy has some of the most memorable
and witty lines in history while Charmed's lines are just about as dry
as paper, with virtually no comedic elements. And even when they try to
be funny, it just comes out real awkward.And then there's just another thing I feel that is just too much. Have
you noticed about they just always try to put Alyssa Milano in skimpy
clothes or some flesh-showing dresses to attract people's attentions?Another thing, the sisters always goes on about the countless innocents
they've saved, but how many can there be considering all they do is sit
at home waiting for some premonitions or a poor helpless victim
staggers to their door. Whereas Buffy actually goes out to patrol every
night.Anyway, I shouldn't ramble on too much and criticize Charmed too much
because in the recent eps, they've got a little better. But still, I
hope they can come up with some ORIGINAL ideas and maybe develop into
the Power-of-Three myth a little more.
