You cannot handle 178 episodes with the monster of the week and related innocent to save, it would become Magic Law and Order and not Charmed
Suernatural after the scheduled first 5 seasons - I am more and more convinced it’s the perfect number for a serie - had to invent the Enemy of the season, they could never save an innocent for episode for 11 season: in fact Sam and Dean haveto deal with fairies, Titans, various sprites, it is difficult to invent something new for so long time
I see Charmed divided into stages of life
Season 1-2: newbie witches, they discover a world of monsters and villains and innocents to be saved, they pay an heavy price, Andy, but it's a nice turning point in their lives the birth of their bond, for Phoebe represents the great turn of her life the discovery of having herself a role in the world
Season 3- 4. The demonic world cannot stand losing and cannot allow the growing of their power that’ld become almost unbeatable (the most powerful witches of all time, those of Morality Bites in 2009).
The Council, the Triad, the Source’s attacks make their lives a living hell, and kill Prue.
The sisters win but end crushed and if Piper is pregnant and has Leo to support her, Phoebe has lost everything, her sister / mother, the love of her life, a son
Season 5 / 6- the powerful forces of evil are defeated, there are still monsters and demons and some innocents to save, but clearly the decreasing activity of the Evil involves less innocent in danger
It could be a quiet period but Chris’s irruption and his obsessive hunt for demons changes everything: there is danger in the future, a future of which they are responsible
The almost light heartedness parenthesis, in which they were witches secure of themselves and of their role ends with the betrayal and murder of Chis
Season 7: the consequences of betrayal are the basis of this season.
If Piper locks herself at home with the children, Phoebe loses faith even in a work that until then had been her anchor, Paige lives a time of the total loss of her role, Leo is living the deepest crisis
The betrayal came from the supreme hierarchy of the Good that the sisters identified with Good itself and that for Leo was mentor and family. His mentor, almost a father, tried to kill his two year old son and killed his 23 year old son_ it’s something unimaginable for anyone, Leo is close to madness
The Avatars, relying on fears and blackmail - the loss of Piper – conquer Leo to their cause, deceiving him with the worldview of peace
Because the words cannot be useful with the disillusioned sisters, they use the vision of an idyllic world for their support: who'ld not want a world of peace and tranquility for all?
The pain of betrayal has as consequence the deception and following their feelings the sisters fall into Avatars's trap and to solve it they come into contact with the demon even feared by the Source, a demon who terrorizes even the Elders that drop out of them, confirming their nature of politicians of Good
The sisters are seriously convinced they reached the end and accepting the idea of a death in battle is not a joke even for the most idiotic heroes
They survive and after treachery, betrayal, abandonment, cowardice and death, they decide to abandon the world of magic
The series was endend and ended in style because after seven years of vicissitudes, grief, terror and threatened lives, it was right that the sisters released finally their lives
The order to invent another season was still executed with dignity
Season 8: getting away from the magic is not very simple, there is this young witch to train, there are still innocent in need of help
They come back as witches, train the young witch as a family member the doors of Halliwell house open easily
Again, the long arm of the ancient infernal hierarchy strikes and strikes through a new betrayal, that, very human, of a friend, welcomed home like a baby sister
More adult and mature, this time the betrayal'll not bring devastation but the knowledge that their unique link is the most precious thing they had: Elders, demons, Angels of Death or Destiny, young evil witches thirsty for power, no one can defeat them because they are the Charmed Ones and the indestructible love between sisters, the strong family bond is their most powerful weapon
In a perspective view, the 8 seasons are completed and form a complex story, not trivial, out of the usual scheme: I good- you bad- I save innocent and I defeat evil - of many series prior Charmed
Only Women for 8 years and women full of contradictions and positive and negative phases, not angelic heroines overflowing of self-sacrifice, it was a difficult but intriguing path
