You tuned in for the pilot and then gave up. Or you may not have given it a chance at all out of loyalty for the Charmed you already knew and loved. Seven episodes in, this reboot is something you’ll want to consider giving a real chance.

The CW’s Charmed is one of those shows that got a bad reputation long before it even aired its first episode. I’ll be honest and say I was skeptical, as were many others. However, I decided to give it a real chance, pushing aside everything I loved (and sometimes hated) about the original show and treating this as a new outing.

I know many have given it a chance but gone in with low expectations or kept their skepticism. Others have decided not to even give it a chance at all. But that’s not really fair on the creators and the actors.

Sitting in sixth out of 12 CW shows, it looks like viewers don’t think the Charmed reboot is as bad as initially thought. It’s the highest rated of the three freshman shows. It’s not perfect but then no show is. But should you give it a chance?

I think you should. As a fan of Classic Charmed, I honestly think this new show is worth it. But I think it’s worth it if you’re willing to shake off the old and embrace the new.
