One of the big focuses on The CW’s Charmed is that it’s a diverse cast. All the lead women are women of color, which has been a progressive and important point for many. Madeleine explains that it’s important for her, too. This was one of the reasons she wanted the role, and you can hear the full explanation in the video below.
There has certainly been some hate towards the Charmed reboot even before people even had a chance to look at the trailer. At both SDCC and NYCC, con attendees have had a chance to see the pilot and a lot of response has been positive. This is certainly a darker version of the original and is going to appeal to both new and veteran fans, as long as people just give it a chance.
No, not everyone is going to like it but that’s the case with every single show on TV right now. I’ll be the first to say I’m not a fan of Riverdale, but I understand why people love it. That was a show that just never really connected with me. But I went into the show with an open mind and gave it a chance like I’ll give the Charmed reboot a chance.
