Season eight of Charmed brings the story of the Halliwell sisters to a satisfying conclusion, but not without a lot of bumps on the road for the witchy trio. The season begins with Paige (Rose McGowan), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano)--exhausted after years of magical responsibility for protecting the mortal world and fighting off demons--pretending to be dead and hiding behind new appearances. (The characters, when seen in mirrored reflections or through the eyes of others, are played by different actresses.) The gambit works smoothly for awhile, until each of the sisters begins missing aspects of her old life and feeling a sense of responsibility for protecting the innocent. Meanwhile, a gaggle of restless, young demons suspect that the Halliwells aren't really dead at all, and are out to prove it. While fending off new demonic plots to take over the sisters' San Francisco home and seize control of a school of magic, Piper and Phoebe's father, Victor (James Read), takes care of Piper and Leo's kids at the near cost of his own life. Also, Phoebe falls for a sculptor (Jason Lewis) early in the season and Cupid (Victor Webster) himself later on; Paige considers a career in law enforcement; and a newcomer arrives on the scene: Billie (Kaley Cuoco), a young witch with a flashy, Buffy-like style as demon-slayer. Billie's story provides a narrative backbone to Charmed: The Final Season. Powerful but untutored, Billie reluctantly becomes a protégé of Paige, learning the ropes of witchcraft just as Paige did a couple of seasons back. The problem is that Billie makes a well-intentioned mess of a number of situations (at one point, she draws the attention of a Homeland Security agent to her powers), and then goes rogue when her long-lost sister shows up and turns Billie against the Halliwells. The latter half of the season slowly draws to a showdown between the two sets of siblings, but as always, there are lot of storylines with plenty of other issues and action to worry about. Longtime Charmed fans will certainly enjoy the series finale, an imaginative, time-travel tale in which some of the main characters meet different versions of themselves, and we all get a peek into what the future holds in store for the Halliwells as individual women. --Tom Keogh The Power of Three on DVD

 Best Season of Charmed January 2, 2009
Joseph M. Handibode (Norfolk VA)
I have to say I was very surprised how good the final Season was for the show. After Cole left the show in Season 4, I totally lost interest in the show all together. But after watching repeats. Season 8 brought the series back to its roots. I loved the great finale show of Season 8. I was happy Phoebe got a happy ending. After Cole, there wasn't any interesting character to match Phoebe as a partner. Till they introduced Coop whom is a very cool character of his own. They bought had that forbidden love thing that made it interesting. But it turned out good this time. You won't be disappointed if you loved first 4 seasons.
 Charmed - Blonde Bimbo Style December 15, 2008
Jamison Rohde (Long Beach, CA United States)
To put it frankly, this season should have never happened!!! The season is directed souly around Billie and her long lost, kidnapped sister, Christie. The Charmed ones take a back seat in this season, and the only good episode was the finale, which was respectably done.
Don't buy this season....you're just wasting your money. Season 7 was the real ending to Charmed.
 Charmed Season 8 Review November 17, 2008
Nevanna (Phoenix, AZ, USA)
I was really disappointed that the intro song was replaced with the guitar riff, although I understand it's due to licensing issues. Probably not the strongest of the seasons, but I do enjoy the play on the idea of the apprentice turning against the teacher. Still fun to watch, and the series finale is quite satisfying.

 Jumped the Shark with Billie and Christie November 14, 2008
tgirl (Arizona)
Great series that I still enjoy from time to time on TNT, except for the final season. While I understand the writers wanting to move the sisters into more of an advisory role to new witches and whitelighters after years of kicking demon butt themselves, the addition of the whining Billie and her snarky sister definitely jumped the shark for me. Boring and repetitive, the writers seemed to forget the history of their own show. For example, in previous seasons they drum into our heads that Wyatt, the heir of Excalibur, is the "ultimate power" and then suddenly they declare that Billie is. What??? Not to mention the "give her the benefit of the doubt" treatment of Christie, even though the Charmed Ones knew that firestarters are trained from a young age to be bodyguards for the Source (Season 4 "Lost and Bound".) Knowing that Christie was in the hands of evil for over ten years, it made no sense at all that the sisters would ignor her until things got critical.
Anyway, great series except for the last season.
