Charmed is a 2018 fantasy drama series developed by Jennie Snyder Urman airing on The CW, based on the 90s series of the same name created by Constance M Burge.Sisters Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie Vera (Sarah Jeffery) have been estranged since the mysterious death of their mother, Marisol, three months before. The two separately attend Hilltown University, where Mel is a graduate student while Maggie is a freshman. One day, they are approached by Macy Vaughn (Madeleine Mantock), a new scientist at the university lab, who introduces herself as their long-lost older sister. Subsequently, the three learn from Harry Greenwood (Rupert Evans), the head of Mel's department, that they are actually the most recent generation in a long line of witches; their powers were previously bound by a spell, which Marisol removed before she was killed. Harry himself is a Whitelighter, their guardian angel.Initially apprehensive, the Veras soon learn that Harry was telling the truth, after Macy and Maggie exorcise a demon possessing Maggie's ex-boyfriend. Together with Mel, they defeat a demon disguising himself as Macy's superior. The sisters begin training under Harry's guidance as the Charmed Ones, protectors of the innocents against dark beings, while continuing to investigate their mother's death.The cast also includes Galvin Burdette (Ser'Darius Blain), Macy's fellow scientist and love interest; Niko Hamada (Ellen Tamaki), a Hilltown detective and Mel's girlfriend; and Parker Caine (Nick Hargrove), a half-demon sent to get close with the Veras for a sinister purpose. The second season adds Jordan Chase (Jordan Donica), a boxer and the cursed descendant of a family of witchfinders; and Abigael Jameson-Caine (Poppy Drayton), Parker's sister who has ambitions to rule over demons.In a case of History Repeats, on July 19, 2021, Mantock announced her departure from the series after Season 3, mirroring Shannen Doherty's own departure from the original show after Season 3. Coincidentally, Doherty also played the eldest sister, much like Mantock. In her place, a new Charmed One, Michaela "Kaela" Danso, was introduced in Season 4, played by Lucy Barrett.On May 12, 2022, The CW canceled the show after four seasons. | |

Age Lift: Downplayed. The Charmed Ones from both series are adult women, however Phoebe in the original series had a storyline involving returning to college while Maggie is a college freshman. | |

Pursued Protagonist: As the sisters gain more power and a longer vanquish list, they become a bigger target for demonic assassins. This leaves them completely vulnerable to attacks and requires them to abandon Hilltowne in the second season. | |

Man Behind the Man: The Maestro was the one who gave the Sirens their distinctive song that stole men's souls. He was a bit angry that they stole all the credit for his work. He turns the Hilltones into another siren group, to steal the souls of the entire audience. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Harry keeping things quiet in "Let This Mother Out" backfires on him majorly. He never bothers telling the girls an Impostor Demon is on the loose. And when he sees the demon posing as their mother, his first instinct is to try and attack rather than warn the girls it's an impostor, which gets him knocked out and them nearly handing a powerful artifact over to the demon. Played with when the girls are surprised to find their mother was an Elder. Harry says he told them in his opening speech. When Mel snaps he had said "senior witch," Harry shrugs that "obviously" that means the same thing. Even Elder Charity agrees with the girls that Harry could be a bit more specific on such points. Played With again regarding Trip's death. Because Charity refused to listen to Mel about finding a means of exorcising the Harbinger sparing Angela Wu's life, she [Mel] became frustrated and proceed to look for answers herself when Charity had asked to keep an eye on Niko and Trip. Mel feels his death, which was indirectly caused by him following the sisters, could have been prevented had she listen to the Elder. Charity reassures Mel it wasn't her fault. A more nuanced take comes with the secret of Macy's "darkness." Mel and Maggie keep their overhearing it during a trip to the past secret from her, while she keeps the discovery of a key she has some strange connection to secret from them, and they end up acknowledging both sides are equally at fault for the consequences and resolve to tell each other everything from now on. Both Jada and Tessa point out that the Charmed Ones are concerningly unfamiliar with the scope of their powers, and blame a lack of communication on Harry's part. All three easily discover new applications of their powers with little effort after being prompted. | |

| Charmed (2018) / int_1d91d9bb | comment |
Deadly Gaze: As usual, Medusa's gaze turns people to stone. Actually inverted. She only turns people to stone when they look away from her, as it reminds her of how people shunned her after her rape. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: When struggling to use her power intentionally for the first time, Mel throws her hands up in erratic gestures that clearly mimic how Piper triggered her power. Once Mel gains control of her freezing, she typically gestures with one hand perpendicular to her body. Just like Phoebe, Maggie ends up romantically involved with a morally conflicted demon/human hybrid. | |

Half-Sibling Angst | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_275a13d1 | comment |
Half-Sibling Angst: The series kicks off with Macy introducing herself to her maternal half-sisters Mel and Maggie after their mother's death. Macy's jealousy at not having known her mother or sisters complicates their attempts to bond as a family. She then finds DNA results that reveal that their mother had an affair with her father during her marriage to Mel's father, resulting in Maggie's birth, which makes Mel the half-sister, not Macy. Macy is quick to latch onto this information and excitedly announces it, completely missing the identity crisis she's just given Maggie. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Mel learns a spell that creates a sonic boom, which Harry refers to as one of the most dangerous a witch can use. She uses it to capture the Harbinger, but nearly kills Macy in the process. Mel's freezing power could also fall under this. The ability to stop time completely would make her arguably the most powerful Charmed One, if not for the fact that several demons and other magical beings are immune to her power. | |

Butterfly of Doom | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_2ec219ee | comment |
Butterfly of Doom: There's a spell which can be used to rewrite history by changing or erasing specific events, the trade-off being that it requires the Power of Three and will have unforeseen, unintended consequences. The girls use the spell in the episode "Other Women" in order to recon Mel and Niko's relationship in order to protect her, with the first of those consequences being Mel losing her job at the university. (Or rather she never had it in the first place.) | |

Bittersweet Ending: The Season 1 finale. The Elders and Sarcana are dead, Galvin's dead, Parker has left for parts unknown, and Mel has let Niko go for her own good. Good news is that The Source has been purged from Macy and split into three jewels hidden across the world ensuring no one will find it. Further, the Charmed Ones are selected by the Magical community as its new leaders in place of the Elders. | |

Magically-Binding Contract | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_4353c4b7 | comment |
Magically-Binding Contract: Used a few times, especially the Necromancer who made a bargain with demons for eternal life and power in exchange for infecting people brought from the dead with demonic blood which will turn them into demons. In a fight, the necromancer tries to kill Parker only to realize too late he's half-demon. By attacking a demon herself, she's broken the terms of the pact and turns to dust. | |

| Charmed (2018) / int_439a64d3 | comment |
Our Witches Are Different: No Muggles can learn magic. Witches are tasked with protecting mortals from demons. They all have a basic power set of spellcasting, potion making and divination, which includes not only using Ouija boards but also scrying, while individual witches might have extra Personality Powers as well. | |

Kiss of Distraction: To prevent Parker from seeing the Harbinger in the float warehouse, Maggie kisses him. She instantly regrets the act, feeling guilty for kissing Lucy's boyfriend. | |

Truth Serums: Played for laughs as the girls whip up one to use on Harry to find out the truth about him. But Niko ends up drinking it instead. She proceeds to tell a suspect they have no case against him; rants about her various beefs with other cops; reveals she doesn't need her glasses and just wears them to be taken seriously; and while she loves Mel, she also slept with her ex-fiancee a week ago. | |

It's Always Spring | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_4dd6313f | comment |
It's Always Spring: The original show was set in San Francisco, where snow isn't expected. However, the episode after the Christmas episode shows no snow on the ground in Michigan, despite there being a huge storm around Christmas. "Memento Mori" does have a scene of Mel and Maggie outside while it snows, although none is seen gathering on the ground. | |

Wham Line: In the episode "Other Women", Alistair Cane's "Whoever killed those witches" serves as one, revealing that the group that retrieved the Harbinger and are going after powerful witch DNA; and whoever killed the Elders are two different entities. In "Kappa Spirit", Madam Roz reveals that Macy has a darkness in her, one that's been there since she was born and is probably why she was given up. In "Keep Calm and Harry On". Galvin shows Macy the files they took from the lab. That is when she learns that she and Maggie share 53% of their DNA while Mel and Maggie only share about 23%, making Mel the half-sister. In "Witch Perfect", reading one of the old letters between Marisol and Macy's father reveals the nature of Macy's darkness: she was brought Back from the Dead. | |

At the end of "Switches & Stones", Macy has a vision of Charity killing Marisol. The episode ends with Charity snapping the neck of the elder who was helping Macy. The end of "Perfecti Is The Enemy Of The Good" has Mal awakening from a magical coma now pregnant with her child from the future. | |

Danger Room Cold Open: Used in the third episode, with the girls hunting a demon but then messing it up when Mel accidentally kills both of her sisters with a spell. Foreshadowed in that Maggie seems more concerned about what's happening on her phone than the demon and her sisters don't particularly call her on it. | |

Adaptational Superpower Change | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_538273bd | comment |
Adaptational Superpower Change: Maggie's power is telepathy instead of premonition. However, she is referred to as an empath several times — a power Phoebe eventually developed. Mel's power to freeze time is more similar to how Piper's power was initially described. Rather than slow or speed up molecules, Mel can actually alter the flow of time. That is, until both sisters lose their powers and gain new powers more directly similar to their original counterparts. However, while Mel's power is molecular manipulation like Piper's, her "freezing" aspect is more literal. | |

Macy also finds her own virginity a bit pathetic, but her sisters reassure her it's nothing to be ashamed of. When impersonating Macy, Hunter is thrown to find out she's a virgin, muttering "Seriously?" | |

Something Only They Would Say: Played with. Impostor Demons are infamous for their ability to pull this off through their mental powers giving them the answers their targets want. However, Mel identifies a spirit impersonating their mother this way when it gets greedy and tells her how special she was to her, as their mother didn't play favorites. Played for laughs when Mel and Maggie swap bodies. At a party, Parker comes to kiss "Maggie" who tells him she's Mel. He thinks it's roleplaying. | |

Brought Down to Normal: Marisol bound each of the girls' powers after they were born so they could lead normal lives. Charity, after the Charmed Ones learned she was the one killing all the elders, loses her powers in the temple under the house. At the start of "Surrender", Harry was stripped of his Whitelighter powers, which caused his body to slowly age until it caught up to his actual age of 98. Fiona restores him at the end of the episode. After the sisters are attacked by a demonic assassin in the season 2 premiere, their auras are stripped and their powers bound to protect their identities. This leaves Macy as the only one with active powers since she still has access to her demonic magic. | |

Casting Gag: McKaley Miller, who was the villain of the week in "Kappa Spirit", previously played a similar sorority sister with a tragic ending in Scream Queens (2015). Malaya Rivera Drew plays a witch named Cyd in "You're Dead to Me" who resurrected her boyfriend 20 years prior to the episode, however with a terrible cost. In The Originals her character is also desperate enough to bring back her murdered daughter, who Came Back Wrong and led to the death of someone else who Drew's character was trying to save, just like Cyd. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: The Charmed Ones of this iteration begin the series with much more skill and power than the Halliwells and they are able to cast complex spells with little effort within weeks of discovering their powers. Early on in the series Macy is able to move objects with more control and weight than Prue and Paige did when they first appeared in the original series. Maggie is able to overcome her Power Incontinence much quicker than Phoebe who never really learned to control her visions. And Mel's freezing power far surpasses Piper's even in the later seasons (although, to be fair, most of the episodes in the first part of season 1 have shown that Mel requires more concentration to hold the freeze and that demons have rather easily broken out of her hold.) Halfway through season 1, this is taken up to 11. Macy can stop a heartbeat using her mind, Maggie can channel emotions into raw energy blasts and forcefields and Mel can accelerate the effects of time on objects. In the original series, the siblings took around 2-3 full seasons before developing new powers and took much longer to master them. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_76a5eaf8 | comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Macy and Harry have become this. Many of the first season was about Macy and her coming into the family, being a virgin and the demon side plot, which took up a good chuck of the second half while getting the best episodes. Come season 2 Macy is the only sister with active power (until Maggie gets Foresight) and is the only sister to proactively be involved with exploring and saving other people while Mel is more of a tagalong and Maggie just focuses more on her life at Safe space. Adding the the amount of Macy x Harry ship adds further to this as well coming at the expense of Mel and Maggie who's plots are sidelined to romance options, taking up recent episode plots. Despite being just added as a series regular Abigail is starting to become this due to the increased focus leading people to believe she might overshadow the girls the way Cole, Chris and Wyatt did to the sisters later in the original show. | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Professor Warner Thaine is accused of sexual harassment and both Marisol and Mel are angry at the possibility of him being allowed back to the university after his suspension. He also turns out to be a life-sucking demon. Medusa was originally a witch who turned into a demon after being raped. She ends up terrorizing the campus in vengeance for someone who was also assaulted, attacking anyone she sees as complicit. Macy defeats her not through violence, but by acknowledging her pain, saying "I see you." | |

Literal Metaphor: While trying to have sex with Parker, Maggie creates a glowing protection shield around her vagina. When trying to discuss this with Macy, she uses coy language such as "an explosion... down there". Macy thinks it's just a metaphor for orgasm, but then Maggie clarifies that it was quite literal. | |

Wham Episode: "Memento Mori": It is revealed that Charity is the one who killed Marisol and the other Elders (to cover up the first murder). It's also revealed that the temple under the Vera manor is for her sister Fiona's use. At the end, Charity is stripped of her powers and is about to be imprisoned in Tartarus, but Alastair kills the guards and saves her. "Red Rain" the penultimate episode has Charity being killed by Fiona, Fiona dying because she ignited the Sacred Flame, Macy becoming the Source vanquishing Alastair healing everyone from the Harbinger Virus and resurrecting Galvin. The season 2 premiere "Safe Space": the Book of Shadows is destroyed, the sisters are stripped of their powers, and they relocate to Seattle in a bunker with a new task. | |

Feminist Fantasy: Like the original show, the series revolves around three sisters as its main protagonists, and often involves women's issues as well. In fact, their mother was even a professor of women's studies at the local university. Somewhat played with: their attitudes sometimes cause more harm than good, and it's Harry who has to clear the mess. | |

Half-Human Hybrid: We learn that Parker is actually a half-human, half-demon. This makes him sick, and finding a cure is part of the demons' motivation. Much like Paige in the original series, we learn that Jada is half-witch, half-White Lighter. These relationships are forbidden in witch culture, and thus she is shunted to the edge of witch society. Thanks to being brought back from the dead with demon blood, Macy is part-demon. | |

Gratuitous Latin: Unlike the previous series, which used rhyming couplets for its spells, many of the spells in this series are in Latin. Though others do follow the old rhyming method. There have also been stray Latin phrases found elsewhere, such as the KTK motto and the inscription on Marisol's old mirror. | |

The '80s | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_c10da874 | comment |
The '80s: Briefly seen in a time travel spell, when Mel and Maggie see Hilltowne University during this period. Besides the general bright, spandex clad and patterned aesthetic, there's also a protest against apartheid going on in the background. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Maggie seems to develop a new application of her power per episode. Though she started out just reading minds, she has since developed the powers of energy projection, forcefield generation, soul transference, mediumship and more. | |

Personal Gain Hurts: While not as intense as in the original show, Maggie using a bunch of glamours to throw a party drains her energy so she falters during a fight with the Harbinger. Harry also notes there's balances in the use of magic, so if you overuse glamours to beautify things, you'll later get glamoured to look ugly. | |

Post-Modern Magik | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_ce555c91 | comment |
Post-Modern Magik: All over the place. Potions include both the typical Eye of Newt ingredients and modern chemicals, whitelighters use tech to contact everyone, and when a demon is smart enough to smash all the mirrors in the house, Maggie just turns on a mirroring app and vanquishes it that way. In the episode "Other Women" we're introduced to Charity, an Elder, and Alister Caine, an upper-class demon, who are both heads of international and influential corporations. This is in contrast with the original series where the idea of human identity, resources, and methods were seen as a novel (if unorthodox) idea by demons. | |

Younger and Hipper: In the original series, the sisters were out of college and working various jobs. In this series, Maggie is a college freshman (as opposed to an adult student like Phoebe became), Mel starts out as a grad student/teaching undergrads, and Macy works in a lab owned by the college but does not appear to be a student of any sort. However, they are noticeably younger, on the whole. | |

A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Maggie gets this big-time. It ranges from how her pledge sisters feel about her to reading her friend-with-benefit's mind during sex which ranges from thinking of "boobs" constantly to trying to think unsexy thoughts to slow himself down to how he loves her and wants to win her back. | |

Family Theme Naming | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_e502e268 | comment |
Family Theme Naming: Just like how in the original series the sisters' names all started with "P," in this reboot the sisters' first names all start with the letter "M" per the Vera family tradition. Marisol is the girls' mother and the leads of the series are Macy, Mel, and Maggie. By happenstance. Macy's last name of "Vaughn" means that the girls all share the same initials despite her being a half-sister. | |

Expy: Played with. While the sisters are obvious counterparts of the original Charmed Ones, they are not directly similar to specific sisters. Macy's got Prue's powers and is a long-lost sister like Paige, but is more similar in personality to Piper in the early seasons. Mel is the middle sister with a variation of Piper's powers, with Prue's domineering personality and Action Girl tendencies. Maggie has Phoebe's empathy power with many of Phoebe and Paige's personality traits. | |

Adaptation Species Change | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_e8497e34 | comment |
Adaptation Species Change: In the 90s show, Whitelighters were the Charmed equivalent of Angels with the Elders (the leadership) being higher tier much like Archangels and Good Counterparts to upper-level demons. Here "The Elders" are composed of senior members of the witch community and act as the governing body. In the original show, Darklighters were the evil counterparts of Whitelighters. Here the idea of counterparts is taken quite literally as Darklighters are a by-product of the creation of Whitelighters, being identical copies of Whitelighters. Every Whitlelighter had a Darklighter copy who they were intrinsically linked to, if one were to die, so would the other. | |

Played With again regarding Trip's death. Because Charity refused to listen to Mel about finding a means of exorcising the Harbinger sparing Angela Wu's life, she [Mel] became frustrated and proceed to look for answers herself when Charity had asked to keep an eye on Niko and Trip. Mel feels his death, which was indirectly caused by him following the sisters, could have been prevented had she listen to the Elder. Charity reassures Mel it wasn't her fault. | |

Decomposite Character: Parker is introduced as a clear counterpart to Cole as a conflicted half-demon who falls for the youngest sister, though is much more reluctant and innocent.

Essentially, each character embodies one end of Cole's morality more prominently than the other yet is overall less balanced than their precursor. | |

Early on in the series Macy is able to move objects with more control and weight than Prue and Paige did when they first appeared in the original series. Maggie is able to overcome her Power Incontinence much quicker than Phoebe who never really learned to control her visions. And Mel's freezing power far surpasses Piper's even in the later seasons (although, to be fair, most of the episodes in the first part of season 1 have shown that Mel requires more concentration to hold the freeze and that demons have rather easily broken out of her hold.) | |

Product Placement | |
| Charmed (2018) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Almost every computer seen on screen has very prominent Microsoft branding. In one episode, multiple characters prominently use a Google Pixel phone. This is particularly jarring because the same characters had noticeably used iPhones up to that point, and use them again after the one-off episode. Gap shopping bags are featured in several instances, which can be somewhat hilarious when you consider that it's very obvious none of the sisters are shopping there given their somewhat elaborate (and expensive) personal styles. | |

Shown Their Work: Mel's "strong women were called witches" quote may have been a throwaway line, but makes sense given that their mother was a Women's Studies professor. A staple topic of study concerns periods in European history where accusations of witchcraft were used to target women, particularly healers, often with the reasoning that success in medicine as a woman was not possible without supernatural, demonic aid.
