Charmed is a fun rainy-day show. The plot and characters are half-baked, but there is enough cheesy romance and fight scenes to keep it going. The relationships, while mature, are nothing to worry about. The violence is sometimes a little much, but usually okay for teens. Younger kids won't be as interested. Bottom Line: it's fun, but not great.
I'm probably going to get a lot of crap for this, but I let my 4 y.o. watch it. We sit down and watch it together. She'll ask questions and I answer them. I love the show because it shows that a girl can be powerful too, you don't need a man to protect you. I'm wiccan, and the show does take the magic to an extreme, but overall, it does a good job of showing that you can't harm others with magic, and that whatever you do will come back to you. Good show overall.
This program causes me great concen because of the stress on the occult and witchcraft. Children in the formative years of development are impressionable and will act out what they see on TV. Teaching about spells and magical potions as methods of combatting evil is an inappropriate message.
Charmed is inventive and colorful, which makes it very fun to watch, but there is little truth in it. The sisters say they are Wiccan, but they follow none of the rules and people watching this show could easily get the wrong idea about Wicca and its intentions. As long as the viewer knows that Charmed is almost purely constructed of fiction, there is no harm in watching it, although I wouldn't recommend it for small children.
This is my favorite t.v. show i have been watching it since i was 11. As the show progresses the sisters become smarter and bond more after a days work of fighting evil. the sisters grew really close when the eldest sister Prue dies by the sources assisin shax dies
This show is pure escapism, but you have to be old enough to understand that and not take it seriously. Most kids that are under 16 are not old enough. I do not let my daughter watch any of this, but as an adult I have fun watching these women kick-tail, save people, and live their lives. The show has Piper (the oldest) as a working mom whose children come first. All of the women work hard to make sure evil loses the battles and good always wins in the end.
I believe that this show is not suitable for kids because of all of the violence and the very little sex. But I believe that it is suitable for teen because it is action packed and intriguing.
I have been watching Charmed since it begun in 1998 as i was 7 i didnt understand all of it but was interested in the supernatural and have always loved witches! Although some of the scenes do explore the adult relationships of the sisters there was never anything deemed too racy and there was never anything shown inappropriatley, obviously as its shown before the hours of watershed! Kids will love it though may not understand it and adults who enjoy fantasy and supernatural will love it and get everything! The sisters are positive role models even though the supernatural feel may jaunt that fact due to its fictional nature and there are positive messages in all episodes for exmple good overcomes all evil in the end, lessons in karma what goes around comes around, i could go on forever so i'll stop there seriously watch it its amazing!!!
