Advantages: All 22 brilliant episodes of the series and some great songs to boot! Disadvantages: No extras or special features!
...I'm back with another Charmed DVD review - sorry, but I love it!! This time I am reviewing the DVD box set of Series 1, which is one of my favourite series.
Charmed is the story of the three twenty-something Halliwell sisters who come from San Francisco. They are called Prudence (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano). They were raised by their grandmother or 'Grams' after their mother was killed and their father ...

...I was searching for the Charmed Box Set but it wasn't available. I was gutted. Then I heard they were making a series one box set and I had to have it. My little boy's dad got it me for my birthday and I now understand exactly what's what. The price wasn't exactly right though, pretty expensive at £45. In this review I have put into detail what happened on the very first episode, and with the rest of the episodes I have summarised the best I could. ...

...witches...powerful witches too...they were the charmed ones.
Because of the constant bickering with the sisters it puts a lot of strain on Grams who knows about the legacy of the charmed ones and knows that at some point the girls will gain their powers, so after deciding that it probably wans't a great idea for the girls to become charmed just yet, she creates a potion to bind there powers.
unfortunately on her way to the attic to cast the ...

POWER OF THREE!!! Review ofCharmed - Series 1 (Box Set)by
rockchick17
Advantages: amazing story lines Disadvantages: you never want to look away
This amazing boxset first starts out with three normal sisters who noe stormy night are turned into witches with the power to freeze time, move objects and see the future. It is accompanied by the terrific work of the Smiths (how soon is now). The actresses live up to their characters and give a stunning performance in each episode. The plots always leave you wanting to watch more. The demons and warlocks involved are cleverly created so much so that ...

...nicely.
If you have never seen Charmed before this is definately worth a look. However, if you are a Charmed fan then you might be slightly disappointed with the lack of special features. This box set is not cheap and some may consider not being value for money.
When I describe this box set as having no special features, I do mean none. No commentary, bloopers, deleted scenes. This only thing that can be considered a special feature is the ...

Advantages: Best programme on hand 24/7 Disadvantages: there is one
...you like witch adventures then Charmed is for you. Unlike Practical Magic and The Craft, there is a stong storyline that continues throughout all 8 series. The main plot is that you need the power of 3 to banquish the demons wether this is to actually fight them or to plan how to fight them.
Things start get really going in series 3 when the sisters have learnt their powers and their personal lives begin to get more involved in the story line. ...
