Editorial Review:
Description: This Boxset contains all 8 seasons of Charmed. CHARMED explores the relationship between three siblings, who after discovering that they possess magical powers, are reluctantly thrown into a world of supernatural evils. Phoebe, Paige and Piper must keep their identity as 'the Charmed Ones' secret from the world, with only themselves to rely upon.
Amazon.com: Charmed recaptured a period in the 1ate 1990s when television's WB network was particularly keen on series about the supernatural and specially-powered characters. The original home of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and future launch pad for Angel and Smallville, the WB debuted Charmed in 1998 with many of the same intriguing ironies that made those other shows click. Specifically, the greater a character's powers, the more vulnerable he or she becomes; the more superhuman, the more painfully obvious one's lonely, fragile humanity. The Halliwells, a trio of witch heroines and siblings at the center of Charmed, are a case in point. Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) returns to her San Francisco family home after losing her job, and moves in with her older sisters Prue (Shannen Doherty) and Piper (Holly Marie Combs). On her first night back, Phoebe finds the Book of Shadows left for them by their late mother and recites a spell giving all three women unique powers they were always meant to have. Prue suddenly has the gift of telekinesis, Piper can make time stand still, and Phoebe can see into the future. All well and good, but along with those extraordinary abilities comes a new awareness of dark forces in the world from which mortals need protection. In some cases, those forces have been plotting a long time to steal the Halliwells’ magical legacy once they awakened to it--and now they will never let up. Indeed, the forces of the Underworld never do let up in Charmed, giving the Halliwells a major headache for the next eight seasons. Yet the show became about so much more than that, blending (again, like Buffy) the sisters’ personal lives with their responsibilities as protectors and stewards of magic. Jobs, lovers, marriage, and children were just as prominent in Prue’s, Phoebe’s, and Piper’s thoughts and emotions as warlocks and leprechauns. In fact, Charmed peaked creatively when the whole of season three concerned the fallout of Phoebe’s romance and marriage to a disguised demon (Julian McMahon). The series’ focus at that point was quite gripping, but it was inevitable that subsequent seasons would back off on such a singular perspective and develop a broader range of storylines. A major change in Charmed accompanied the departure of Shannen Doherty from the show at the end of season three, replaced by Rose McGowan as a fourth sister, Paige, unknown to either Phoebe or Piper. While Paige had the same mother (herself a witch) as the other two surviving Halliwell girls, her father was a so-called Whitelighter, essentially an angel. That combination gave Paige unique gifts that made Charmed even more fun (if slightly less compelling). But the loss of Doherty--the show’s best actress, who gave at least one bravura performance per season--proved significant. Charmed wasn’t quite the same, but it carried on, continuing to make new fans and maintaining a breathless pace and intriguing mix of the arcane and ordinary. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - The Power of Three will keep you entertained
The complete season of "Charmed" are all on DVD to watch anytime. As a HUGE "Charmed" fan one must re-live the moments where the Power of Three bewitch and protect innocents.
Unfortunately there is no outer box to house all twenty seven (27) discs to display in your DVD library which is very disappointing for $120.00. The last season finale is where a "behind the scenes" or interviews are as all previous seasons DVD's does not have any "extras."
Rating: - Over Priced, Agreed!!!
Look don't get my wrong, charmed may not be a bad series, however its definitely not one of the best ever made. Also lets be fair, the price tag on this is ridiculous!!! I remember it used to be lower & even then I thought it was too high, jeez with the economy the way it is right now you think it would've just gone down, not UP! Plus I have heard alot of people say that the discs have issues & don't play the episodes in sequence, etc. So a word to the wise, I would hold off on this series until this outrageous price comes down & go with something alittle more friendly on your wallet like pretender or other good series, that is unless they jack up the prices on those too.
Rating: - If only they would put out a box set
I have waited a long time to finally make this purchase but when amazon finally dropped the price below 200 I grabbed it. I really wish they had put out a set but I'm sure they will now that I bought it separately.
Rating: - Charmed is a Great Supernatural TV Series
I'm a huge fan of Charmed. I love it a lot. I loved seasons 1-4, and a little bit of 5, but I was completely dissapointed with the rest of the series. I was going to rate it 5/5 but because of my dissapointment with seasons 6-8, I rated it 4/5. Charmed is about three witches who have to deal with mythic demons, creatures, and on top of that, the normal life that people have to go through. Set in present-day San Francisco, the sisters have great powers and they only advance. I loved the series and wished that the creator didn't leave seeing as it was worse when she left. Despite the criticism I am giving for the last three seasons, I wish it didn't end. I completely, absolutely advise Charmed as something that could be probably better than Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Rating: - Charmed-the Complete Series
If you ever liked any of the Charmed series, you will enjoy being able to see it in the sequence that it was produced. I would not recommend this for young children.
