Obviously, this show isn't great. I didn't watch the original Charmed, and I'm rating this as someone who just watched a pilot, with no emotional connection to the source material. First of all, the feminist slant (although I'm in full support of it) is sloppily done. Mel is supposed to be Queen Feminist Gender Studies Legend, yet she - and the show itself - makes fun of sorority girls and mocks the decision to rush. Pretty sure putting other girls down for wanting to be apart of a sisterhood isn't feminist. Speaking of Mel, good LORD is that actress terrible. The other girls aren't winning any awards either, but Mel certainly takes the cake for forced lines and half-baked characterization. Obviously, this show is attempting to capitalize on the feminist witch craze sweeping through America's young femme population. It's just such a shame they couldn't do a better job.
