I really don't know why it get such a bad rep. It really a good show. I for 1 Love it!! But then again i love most things with maigk in them (buffy, harry potter) so may be it depends. I know not meny of my friends like it and my male friends that do like it just for the girls just like my dad.

NO POWER IN THE 'VERS CAN STOP ME!

My expectations couldn't have been much lower - I expected it to be awful and it was.

I have never managed a full episode; it is even worse than Stargate and that is saying something!

(Please no violent assualts on my person, just saying is all)

I really should get me a signature



I saw it a few times. I was sort of intrigued at first. But the series never tried to do anything too engaging either on a fantasy level, or dramatically. I wanted it to improve. I was ultimately disappointed.

And here's what I found.

They're constantly attacked by a beastie that happen to be defeatable either by their powers, or by a spell that's in the book of shadows. They never need to do anything clever except trick the thing into attacking them.

Everyone is either good or evil. No shades of grey. Never misguided. Never disagreement.

And as far as character development goes, things just seem to happen. Piper buys a nightclub. Instant success. Guys magically turn up with no reason to have met them.
