A close up of a submerged black plastic bath duck blowing black liquid into a fountain sums up this car crash of an episode
The Charmed reboot has never lived up to its predecessor but every now and then during the first three seasons it was decidedly watchable.
However with the departure of its best actor Madeleine Mantock (as well as the demotion of Rupert Evans and Jordan Donica to bit parts) and seemingly the departure of the script writers too it like so many other CBS connected shows is plumbing the depths.
Imagine three hapless female teenage Jerry Lewis type characters constantly navel gazing about their latest neurosis tinged feelings through cliche ridden dialogue against a background of tacky 1950's style special effects, bad acting and cardboard cut out villains and that is Charmed season IV.
Of course in the best comic tradition the hero always wins in the end. Its just you cannot believe that they did.
This is now a parody of the original series that seems to have given up trying to celebrate it. It like so many of its 2022 contemporaries seems to be there purely to fill slots in the TV schedule to stop peoples TV screens being blank in between the adverts.
