A group of sisters discover they are witches. Luckily for the world, they're of the good variety. Banding together in their ancestral home in San Francisco, they work together to fight evil, with each having a specific special power. Although outwardly they are average women, with jobs, relationships and friends, they are also powerful witches, but when they work together, their powers are enhanced. As The Charmed Ones, their destiny is to protect innocents from evil.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Charmed has its charms with a trio of likable stars and a bewitching hook, but the series is let down by uninspired writing that fails to enchant.

Yes, it's a hollow celebration of girl power, and yes, it's still worthy of irony-watching. Go to Full Review David Bianculli New York Daily News Nov 20, 2018
If "Charmed" gets more savvy, scary and sexy as weeks go on and it's a good bet it will falling under its spell will be an easy thing to do. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Nov 20, 2018

Gononan B @biggononanotthelilone Jan 18, 2026 Dark, emotional, and very grounded Season 1 focuses on the sisters discovering they are witches and learning what the Power of Three really means. It has a strong monster-of-the-week style, but the emotional core is family and loss. Strengths: Strong sister chemistry (Prue, Piper, Phoebe) Darker tone than later seasons Clear moral lessons Prue feels like the true leader Weaknesses: Effects are dated Some episodes feel slow Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ A solid and emotional beginning.
