Me, three!
That last scene in the elevator confused me as well. I'll have to go with she was confounded - but he must be a very powerful demonic force to best an elder.

Season 1 Episode 5 - "Other Women" - November 11, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmed_(2018_TV_series)I kinda don't like that Maggie thinks she cheated with Parker, that was taking on way too much responsibility and it is annoying how she is practically begging for Lucy's acceptance and friendship from the very beginning of the season. I do like that the demons have a presence as CEO's of corporations, that is a nice touch. I always like big over arching plot lines they add so much depth to a series.

Season 1 Episode 6 - "Kappa Spirit" - November 18, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmed_(2018_TV_series)I am liking this overall who's after Macy's blood plot. I like where they are going with Macy and the "darkness" within her. I don't particularly like Mel and her I am right and everyone needs to listen to me right now attitude. This is going to cause a lot of trouble. I like Maggie, she is still finding herself and her place in the world and wants to enjoy the journey. I do think she went a tad overboard thinking she cheated by kissing Parker. Kissing Parker was a tactic to distract him. She really wanted to do it, and it was a lot more serious then she thought it would be. Does she really have that deep a friendship with Lucy? Lucy does come across rather immature and vindictive.

I just can't with this show anymore. It feels so forced, so amateurish in that the dialogue is predictable and lame and the leads really don't have enough personality to hold my attention.

Harry's former charge (sister of his former flame) appears to be the one brought back from wherever prison. Half demon Parker's mom is Macy's chemistry lab boss.
Parker's dad believes Parker will become the next source based on prophecy of a half demon becoming the source. That would be the reason why his dad and his brother value him and are trying to save his life.
Parker backed away from a saving plot that would have taken away the charmed three's powers. The three found out. Parker's brother tried to kill the girls but Parker intercepted using some sort of hell septor. Parker's brother grabbed onto Harry's leg when the floor sucked him into hell. Harry went with them.
- Parker is very handsome. And we know he will have that forever love quality just like Cole did. So I am going to like that. The Cole/Phoebe love story really sucked me more in on old Charmed. Parker's human side will have to be saved. Perhaps Maggie will have to get pregnant with a part demon baby to bring some drama. - Harry must must must come back. - Jury is out on the Sarcana. It is possible that they were always in alignment with the 3's mom. The crows flying around after the mom's death might have just been from their effort to aid or protect her. Why do the Sarcana and elders not get along?

Why do the Sarcana and elders not get along? And with Harry gone (for now) the sisters can work together as The Power of Three to get him back. Not a fan of the Sarcana. I don't trust them.

Why do the Sarcana and elders not get along? Have to disagree with that . While I luv'ed the Cole/Phoebe story I am not seeing much attraction or sexual chemistry between Parker and Maggie more like puppies playing and that is not even at the puppy love level. It is kinda lame to think Maggie getting deliberately pregnant a viable storyline as it reduces supposedly one of the most powerful witches to a broodmare which totally defeats the premise of this show supporting Woman Power. It is demeaning, and sexist idea.

Season 1 Episode 8 - "Bug a Boo" - December 2, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmed_(2018_TV_series)The bugs were a bit silly looking, but the plot did relate to current dating apps. I liked the secondary plot of the Sisters of Arcana or Sarcana. Jada is a member of the Sarcana and half witch and half Whitelighter and not a demon. I like how they are taking elements of the original series and expanding on them outside of the Vera sister circle. It also relates to how Harry and Charity are a Whitelighter and Witch who were once close. Then there is poor half demon half human Parker attempting to seduce Maggie. The secondary plots do tend to be more interesting then the demon of the week.

Season 1 Episode 9 - "Jingle Hell" - December 9, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmed_(2018_TV_series)To the dudes who write recaps the warlock was a priest, there is a difference. Hunter also took the priest's crozier which is a "a hooked staff carried by a bishop as a symbol of pastoral office", but this one obviously has powers to send people into Tartarus. While I am enjoying the show it is on the same level as the original in regards to being a bit naive and simplistic in it's plots, emotions, and fighting styles. More for the 8 o'clock family hour than the 9 o'clock lets show grittier fare. At times the girls are simply too naive for being in their twenties. I sincerely hope they girls reset Galvin's protection to it's original state. The girls simply have to stop messing around with stuff they don't really know anything about. They are very dangerous as they have the power but not the knowledge, or history to understand what they are doing. That being said at least they are carrying 3 plot lines and some are better than others.

I thought season 1 was complete. It was a nice surprise to see a new episode on my dvr.
Unfortunately a breaking local newscast covered half of it.
Good things The tall one told Calvin about them being witches. Since he was use to his grandma's stories and such, he was ok and down with that. Now Calvin is helping them. They broke into their boss's office to see what they were discovering...downloaded her data. At the end of the episode, they saw stolen dna data showed that the empath and tall one were the actual full sisters (not the ones who had grown up together). And the lesbian one gets a new girlfriend, the one with the long braids. Old cop girlfriend photographed the two talking together for some reason.
The empath was thrown into "hall..." by gatekeeper of hall. The gatekeeper wanted the bucket demon in exchange for releasing empath sister. Half demon ex boyfriend got the bucket. It turned out there was only paint in the bucket. The other white lighter then remembered she was mesmerized in the elevator by half demon's dad.

Season 1 Episode 10 - KEEP CALM AND HARRY ON - Jan 20, 2019 www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/charmed_2018/s01/e10Liked Galvin finding out and working with Macy was fun. Luv'ed that her being a witch didn't faze him but her being a virgin did. Interesting to see the interaction between Parker's mom and dad and that there is a an agreement they have to stick to. Fun to see Maggie feeling sorry for herself and trying to magic her problems aways which everyone knows works so well. Glad to see her develop her powers. It is always fun to see folks with passive or supposed weaker powers who have to develop all the possible ways to use them turn out to be the most powerful. Glad they started it earlier than in the original series. Liked seeing Harry's background as distorted as it was. Liked Harry and Maggie together in Tarturus. Liked the scenes in the Gate Keepers shop.

Maggy and Harry made it out of Halcitraz last episode. Harry has lingering effects from the Halcitraz experience. Last episode, he found out that he had a son that is alive. He said that he is now not focused enough to be the charmed ones white lighter. His female friend said that he must tell the charmed ones.
Macy tells her sisters about her dna dad findings. They handle and resolve a director of sirens demon. Maggy and Macy read their parents' letters to one another. They had been writing all the time. At the end, one of the letters, the girls' mother said that Macy will never forgive her parents when she finds out that her parents had her (Macy) brought back from the dead.
The preview for next week is Macy finding out about being brought back from the dead.
I suspect however they had Macy brought back from the dead, that would be the reason why the girls were kept separated. I think they had to hide Macy from some thing....I like that Calvin is an addition to their demon fighting team.

Season 1 Episode 11 - WITCH PERFECT - Jan 28, 2019 www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/charmed_2018/s01/e11I give the show is attempting to educate the audience when it mentions many of its monsters and from what cultures they are from and twisting it with "Pitch Perfect". Sometimes the main two sisters Mel and Maggie annoy me as they have this front and they keep Macy out no matter how hard she tries. It is evident that Macy is not as socially adept as the younger girls. I do like the nerd speak between her and Galvin and it was fun to see them solve a magic problems by applying physics to it. After all magic is part of the natural world. Will they ever give Galvin his spell of protection back, it might be a good idea now that he is involved so much in the girls world. Looks as if there is a two week break and the series will be back February 17, 2019.

Season 1 Episode 12 - "You're Dead To Me" - February 17, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmed_(2018_TV_series)Interesting episode and a bit of growth for Harry, Macy, and even Mel. I do wonder if Mel's ex girlfriend Nikko, will continue trying to save Jada from the "cult"? Question though, I am amazed how the girls dress up to go to class, when I was in college it was t-shirt and jeans. I don't think it has changed that much. It really annoys me that during this time of year the networks break up the flow of a series by airing an episode every few weeks, but that is in regards to the Super Bowl and other awards shows. For those of us who don't watch or care about those shows it is very frustrating. Will be back March 3, 2019

Season 1 Episode 13 - "Manic Pixie Nightmare" - March 3, 2019 www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/charmed_2018/s01/e13This was fun, I like that Parker is growing up more and he comes across more as a person that you can care about. I am even feeling the attraction between him and Maggie. Like seeing Macy working with Parker's mom, and later Galvin and Mama Roz. Nice to see Galvin experience a supernatural event. Liked the main story tonight with the Pixie. Liked the Mel and Jada bit too. Nice to find out a bit about Jada's background.

Season 1 Episode 14 - "Touched by a Demon" - March 10, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmed_(2018_TV_series)This was a fun kinda Supernatural/Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel mashup. Luv'ed it when Maggie and Parker tried to "do it" and their powers transported them to an unknown temple built beneath their home.
