Review

The Charmed Ones, three modern-day witches, fighting demons, warlocks and other assorted evils, move into season 4, having lost Prue, but gained a new sister, Paige.

The stories are getting a bit darker and deeper, and better, as Piper and Poebe battle their grief at losing Prue, and come to terms with a new half-sister. Cole's transformation, from half-demon, to human, and then worse, forms a season-long arc that works well. So, the show has weathered the loss of a lead character, and settled down into more interesting arcs.

Rating: 4

[ unmissable | great stuff | worth watching | mind candy | unwatchable | unfinishable ]
