Summary: A great wrap up to a great series!
Comment: I enjoyed all of the Charmed episodes. It was great to watch these actors grow and change through their eight seasons on the air. As their magical powers increased throughout the series, the show became even more fun to watch.
I became a "Charmed" fan after the series ended and still, even owning all the episodes now on DVD, watch in it re-runs all the time. Season eight is a great wrap up. I really love a happy ending and the last episode gave me that! I think the critiques that believe the show did not represent Wicca or magic in a "realistic" way might have missed the point of the series. It was created to be entertaining and it certainly was from my perspective!

Summary: the shannen doherty seasons were the best
Comment: I've been a fan of Charmed since I began watching it mid-season two, and faithfully followed the show...that is until mid-season five. I still consider myself a huge fan, but for me the show really ended when Shannen Doherty departed. Yes I am a HUGE Shannen Doherty fan but her leaving wasn't the only reason I stopped watching this show. Yes that was part of it, because I never stopped missing Prue, and her absence was always noticeable in the episodes, but I did actually enjoy season four, and even warmed up to Rose Mcgowans character "Paige" I was quite happy that they chose to make a new sister instead of just choosing a new actress to play Prue. And the season four episodes were actually quite good and well done.
But then in season 5 they just started getting extremely lame and I stopped watching the show. Every once in a while I would tune in to an episode just out of curiousity, if only to see what the Halliwells were up to, but every episode was a disappointment.
Which brings me to this season...season 8. I've probably seen a total of 2 episodes from this season, so it may seem unfair of me to be reviewing it...but seriously, this is Charmed at its worst. Just from seeing a few episodes, it felt as if it was an entirely different show.
I didn't follow this season while it was still airing, but did decide to tune into the series finale, and was HUGELY disappointed. Granted, I obviously knew that there was no chance of Shannen Doherty making a guest appearance, but I still feel that they could have given more of a tribute to her character Prue. Its true that it may seem that Paige was a bigger part of the show, seeing as how Rose Mcgowan was part of the show for 5 seasons, while Shannen was only on for 3 seasons, but still. Prue was part of the orginal power of 3, so I feel her character should have been given more credit.
And aside from that, the series finale just wasn't good. I've imagined a million different ways that the show could have ended, and each idea was way better than what the actual result was.
If you've never seen this show, please do not base your opinion on this season, or any of the later seasons, as I feel that they don't do the show justice. Atleast start with season one, and go from there.
I'd only advise you to buy this season if you are a die-hard Charmed fan, and feel the need to have the entire series on DVD.
As for me, I will settle for having the first four seasons on DVD, and to occassionally tuning into the re-runs of the later seasons on TNT.
