Weekend Bingewatch: I Watched The OG 'Charmed' And Here's What You Need To Know
The CW

An oldie, but a goodie. "Charmed" premiered way back in October of 1998 and ended in May of 2006.

This show has become one of my favorite shows, and it's definitely a different one if you're looking for a new show to binge this weekend.

While you won't get it done before your Monday meeting because there are eight seasons, you will definitely become interested in the characters and what they do on a day to day basis.

Like "Friends," "Charmed" definitely aligns with the '90s to early '00s fashion, which we STAN.

Also in true '90s TV fashion, there are a lot of holes in the storyline and the graphics are kind of, well, laughable at times. But that is all OK and we accept it and love the show regardless.

What's "Charmed" about?

The show focuses on three sisters, Phoebe, Prue, and Piper who have connected again after the death of their grandmother who have gained magic powers and become powerful witches.

I know, I know, it already sounds cheesy and really odd, but HEAR ME OUT.

The sisters are known as The Charmed Ones and work to fight off evil beings that threaten the safety of humanity in San Francisco, CA.

Throughout the show, you see the progression of their relationships as sisters and their strength as witches. And of course, there are boy problems, drama, and everyday TV plots as well.

After a few seasons, one of the sisters loses her life in one of their fights against evil and it breaks the bond of the "Power of Three" taking away their "Charmed Ones" status. Later on, they discover that their mother had another daughter and gave her up for adoption.

They meet their new sister, Paige, by fate and reignite the "Charmed Ones" and continue to fight evil together.

Phoebe has the power of premonition, levitation, and empathy, Piper has the power to freeze things and blow things up, Prue has the power of telekinesis and astral projection, and Paige has the power to orb, which is essentially teleporting to wherever she wants and teleporting anything to wherever she wants.

I always wanted to watch this show when I was younger but was never allowed so it's fun to watch it now and reminisce on the times when my parents controlled my viewing habits. Ah, the good old days.

I give "Charmed" a 9.5 out of 10 for your weekend bingewatch.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
