Season 4 is my favourite to watch for the drama and action mixed with really good individual and collective acting performances.
Season 1,2 and 3 are the best in that order for me. Then 4. Those would be my fave seasons. The others aren't worth watching in my opinion.
Season 7 reminds me of Season 4 in its darkness, references to the Source, Zankou and back to the Cole/Trial era.
Season 5, 6 and 8 are complete cancels for me.
The show was deteriorating by the end of Season 4 so 5, 6, 7 and 8(mistake) are below par for me.

My feelings have changed, I'mma choose "disliked it, now like it". I'm starting to watch the show through a different lens.
What's easy to miss in S4 is the power balance (as in their powers). I never realized how well balanced out their power usage was, in S4 until I started doing my spread sheets. Phoebe has premonitions and levitates in a fairly balanced manner. Piper blows things up but (also) freezes things, in a fairly balanced manner. Paige adapting and utilizing her magic, as well. Blending in the powers of both Cole and Leo, and it's really interesting to watch.
S4 (also) has a good episode list of "protect the innocent", as well. I was pleasantly surprised with my findings.

Loved it now dislike it. I don't know, there's good episodes in S4. But, I don't love it like I used too. It's a depressing season depending on your mood. But I'm in the minority that didn't mind S6, at least it wasn't as depressing as S4. Yeah the execution with battling the Source was a huge letdown. For something that should've been more a grand event, it really wasn't. But Charmed I always felt was great with strong one-shot episodes not developing big arcs. Maybe that's why its so watchable compared to so much serialized television these days I can't get into. I don't mind two-parters or some arc building, I just hate when things drag out so much or every episode ends on a cliffhanger. After the S6 re-watch and thinking about S5-S8 and S4-S8. My feelings have changed. Previously voted like it to dislike it. Now it's disliked it to like it again. I still believe this season can be depressing depending on your mood. But I do think it has a better ending than S5 or S6. Yes it's still rushed, but the season started and ended stronger than S5 or S6. Yes like S6 lots of missed opportunities and promising storyline unfulfilled. If I compare Paige and Chris' introduction seasons, Paige has a much better season. Yes I know Chris dies and had one season as a main character, but I'm thinking more so in the lense of a new main character introduced. They did a better job with Paige. But in the Paige Era seasons and overall this one has moved up. I'll have to see with the S7 and S8 board rewatches where the others stand.
