I had high hopes for this and i'm trying not to compare it to the original charmed and will continue to give it ago but quite disappointed from the first episode.
It felt like they were speaking about things just for the sake of speaking about it - as if they had a list of social issues that they needed to talk about and were just bringing them up to tick them off the list.
In the first 20 minutes they managed to talk about:
Feminism
Cis males
Rape
Consent
Lesbians
He said, she said harassment
Women being perpetrated as girls
Sexual harassment
Trump
To be clear, i'm a trump hating female who believes in fighting for women's rights so i'm not against any of these things but also don't see the point of mentioning them for no real reason and making everything feel forced.
And honestly? the acting so far is sub-par. They're trying so hard to be funny and it's just falling flat and the reactions are way way over done.
It also feels like they're trying to show how much more technologically advanced we are compared to the original charmed - the jokes about how witchcraft is just science, the baking soda and the constant phones.
Hopefully episode two will be better now that they've seamily ticked everything off their list.
