Hello there my adorable little faces. I hope that you’re enjoying your summer ( or your winter ) and you’re all healthy and happy. Today, I will write about CW’s reboot of one of my ultimate favorite tv shows ever!, Charmed.
This post contains spoilers.
The story:
The story, if you have watched the original one, is known. It’s about three sisters Mel and Maggie Vera who they live with their mother, and about their half-sister Macy Vaughn. After their mother’s death, Macy went to meet her sisters and told them who she was. The girls are totally normal people until the moment that their magic powers awake and return to them. Now, they have to learn to control their powers with the help of their new Whitelighter Harry Greenwood before the demons awake the Source of all evil.
The characters:
Macy Vaughn: Macy ( Madeleine Mantock ) is the oldest of the three sisters. She has the power of Telekinesis and she’s also a scientist. Macy is shy and sometimes believes that other people feel bored because of her. She grew up with her father Dexter, away from her sisters and Marisol, her mother. Later in season 1, she develops a relationship with one of her co-workers, Galvin but she also has a really strong connection with their Whitelighter, Harry.
Melanie “Mel” Vera: Mel ( Melonie Diaz ) is the middle one of the sisters. She has the power of Temporal Manipulation and she’s a writer and a bartender. Mel is a control freak and she fights for women’s rights. She has put the “label” Feminist for herself and she never steps back from the things that she believes. Mel grew up with her mother and her sister Maggie and has a girlfriend, the police officer Niko Hamada.
Margarita Emilia “Maggie” Vera: Maggie ( Sarah Jeffery ) is the youngest of the sisters. She has the power of Empathy, she is a college freshman while she’s working as a waitress. Maggie is very sensitive and kind. She grew up with Mel and their mother and she will develop a relationship with Parker later in season 1.
Harry Greenwood: Harry ( Rupert Evans ) is the Charmed Ones’ Whitelighter. He is a little bit bossy but he loves the sisters as his own family. He is very loyal to them and he always tries to protect them no matter what. Later in season 1, we found out that he has started deloping feelings for Macy.
Little things about my favorite ship on the show…
#Hacy: It’s the ship name of Harry and Macy. At first, they started as friends but as the episodes go by we started seeing that especially Harry has more feelings for her. It’s not that visible but the sights are there if you notice. Little things… a look here, a grimace there when Macy is with Galvin… Until the moment that Macy is able to see his thoughts ( I will not tell you how ) and she lets him know that she knows how he feels for her. They truly care for each other and they do anything for each other more than once.
About the original “CHARMED”.
Macy is a combination of Prue and Paige. Mel is Piper with Maggie being Phoebe while Harry is Leo. But they are not the same time! Maybe the plot is the same ( with some little deferences ) but other than that it’s not the same with the original. I will not lie. I started watching it only because I wanted to see how they changed it but I really liked the new one since episode one. I made the desition to completely separate them and now I can tell that I can enjoy both as deferent shows.
Something that I’d wish to be better is the CGI. The demons and the monsters aren’t plausible and it’s something that it bothers me but I believe that now that the show has a second season things will be better.
Let me know if you have watched it, or if I made you wanna do it and don’t forget to tell me what you think about the post in the comments below or on my facebook page.
