Witchy Sleuthing…
Brad Kern produced Charmed, and it ran for eight seasons. Each sister pooled their special powers, playing part private investigator and part witch, as they went to work battling the dark and protecting the light. All the sisters worked to maintain a normal life with dating, romance, and even motherhood, while still using their special powers to protect and serve…as well as using the hidden powers in each of them.
Each sister’s unique personality and gifts and powers combine to provide a cornucopia of different outcomes and power. In later seasons, the cast changed, but the unique quirky vibe remained, bringing more interest to each episode time and time again. The series did a good job of showcasing each sister navigating the normal parts of their lives which were similar to any young woman’s life, while other parts of the series addressed the unique differences between the sisters and the normal folk around them.
Each sister experienced his or her own unique growing pains. However, the loyalty showcased between each sister bore witness to their familial connection and their commitment to battling darkness and day-to-day issues, side by side. Sometimes, juggling love and their witchy duties proved to be stressful, but somehow each sister seemed to arrive at a solution regardless of the difficulty.
Some issues the sisters battled were ones that didn’t have a final resolution. During these episodes, the sisters would go to war to find a problem, or a fix for the present, knowing that the issue would rear its ugly head later. Other problems were usually handled through open and honest conversations and advice, from one sister to another. The spark endured from one episode to the next and from one season to the next, making Charmed a series that kept your interest and kept you coming back for more. The human element of each sister was always on display, making it easy to see their struggles in both the natural and the supernatural. However, each sister’s unique powers and personality traits brought interest to the series from season one to season eight.
