Charmed - The Complete Season 1 (DVD) ... 06 June, 2005 at Paramount Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Box set, Dubbed, Full Screen, PAL / Charmed: The Complete First Season recaptures a period when television's WB network was particularly keen on series about the supernatural and specially powered characters. The original home of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and future launch pad for Angel and Smallville, the WB debuted Charmed in 1998 with many of the same intriguing ironies that made those other shows click. Specifically, the greater a character's powers, the more vulnerable he or she becomes; the more superhuman, the more painfully obvious one's lonely, fragile humanity. The Halliwells, a trio of witch heroines and siblings at the center of Charmed, is a case in point. Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) returns to her San Francisco family home after losing her job, and moves in with her older sisters Prue (Shannen Doherty) and Piper (Holly Marie Combs). On her first night back, Phoebe finds the Book of Shadows in the attic and recites a spell giving all three women unique powers they were always meant to have: Prue suddenly has the gift of telekinesis, Piper can make time stand still, and Phoebe can see into the future. All well and good, but along with those extraordinary abilities is a new awareness of dark forces in the world from which mortals need protection. In some cases, those forces have been plotting a long time to steal the Halliwell's magical legacy once they awakened to it--and now they will never let up. Evil warlocks, demons, ancient curses, Grimlocks, and Wendigos (the last two are best left explained by their respective episodes), however, are only half the battle on this sexy dramedy, in which more ordinary matters of emotional and real-world survival also preoccupy the Halliwells. An important ally, Inspector Andy Trudeau (Ted King), is Prue's ex-lover, a delicate detail that mixes pain with duty as the couple rekindles their troubled relationship while solving otherworldly crimes. In "Dead Man Dating," Piper falls for the ghost of a murdered man who needs help, and later competes with Phoebe for the attention of a handyman, Leo (Brian Krause). Jobs and money are always an issue, too. At one time or another, Phoebe works as a psychic, Piper as a caterer, and Prue finds a job at an auction house. As with Buffy, the engine of Charmed is the seamless, sometimes-comic, sometimes-tender way in which all these dynamics in the magic and non-magic worlds blend together, presenting young adult challenges that are both unique and somehow terribly familiar. It is particularly fun to watch this series grow, deepen, and experiment during its first year. The season's true highlight is probably "That 70s Episode," in which the Halliwells go back in time to meet their younger selves. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Premium Review Charmed - The Complete Season 1 (DVD): Charmed - A magical secret in San Fransisco (1957 words)

I only really began watching Charmed due to my best friend's obsession with it, but I'm glad she had one as it is probably one of the only TV series' that I have watched faithfully and enjoyed throughout. So it's time I at least begin to review the show. Charmed is the longest running TV series with an all female lead, and was created in 1998 by Constance M.Burge, written by Brad Kern and aired on the WB Television Network for 8 years. The story is focused around three sisters - Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell, who come together six months after their Grams dies. To their surprise, they uncover a secret - that they are the Charmed Ones, a prophesized trio of ...  Read the complete review

In addition to my overall review of the show I'd like to cover the individual Charmed seasons in more depth. Charmed is one of my all time favourite shows and I must admit it took me a while to take to the concept and idea of the show as a whole as its first season has so many great qualities but lacks just as much. The show started its run in the states in 1998 culminating in 2006 after 8 seasons and 178 episodes [a new record for a show with all female leads]. The show was created by Constance M Burge and produced by the late Aaron Spelling and focused around the lives of three twenty something sisters who lived in California. The three ...  Read the complete review

I presume you are very surprised by the fact that I am actually reviewing a box set, but I can't help it, I was given this one for Christmas and if you do not like my review on this then I would like help due to the fact that this sort of review is very new to me. And a few more box sets are on their way. I got interested in Charmed due to some of my friends as they couldn't stop talking about the TV Programme. So I wanted to start watching them on TV, only problem was, was that it was like the 3rd series in and therefore could not really start watching it for the first time, so I decided to check out the prices at HMV and Zavvi up town, but they were £20.00 ...  Read the complete review

Charmed is the story of the three twenty-something Halliwell sisters who come from San Francisco. They are called Prudence (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano). They were raised by their grandmother or 'Grams' after their mother was killed and their father left. After the death of their beloved 'Grams', the girls discover a family secret that changes their lives forever. They come from a long line of good witches who practice Wicca or Witchcraft (wow, and I thought inheritance tax was a shocker!). According to an ancient prophecy, the power of the Halliwell line culminates in three sisters who will become the ...  Read the complete review

Charmed is a US TV series that was first released in 1998. It tells the story of Pru, Piper and Phoebe, three sisters with supernatural powers who put them to use fighting evil forces. They are known as the Charmed Ones, and their destiny is to protect the World from evil. I first got into this as my wife used to watch it a lot on TV. I always felt it was more geared towards the female viewer, although when I first started watching it, I was hooked and couldn't stop myself from watching episode after episode. The three sisters are Pru (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano). The three actresses work very well together, and you ...  Read the complete review
