Charmed: Forever Charmed (2006) Season 8, Episode 22

A superb ending for a superb series

[10/10 · 22 May 2006]

The final episode of Charmed was a valentine for every true fan of this amazing show.

Filled with over-the-top performances and the best kind of nostalgia, this episode takes us into the core of the Halliwell family, before and after The Charmed Ones fulfill their destiny once and for all.

In its 8-year run, with 178 action-packed and delightful episodes, the series ender made justice to its followers, and gave proper closure to all the characters we have learned to love and cheer for over the past 8 years.

Charmed, you will be missed.

Women in Love (2003)

A modern day look on the life of passionate women and their families.

[30 June 2003]

This soap opera, written by the genius Manoel Carlos, tells the story of several passionate women and their families while also taking good care of serious social issues such as the care and welfare of the elderly.

Some of the shocking tabus in the lives of the women in this primetime soap opera can be found among alcoholism, domestic abuse, obsessive jealousy, lesbian adolescents, a relationship with a much younger man, platonic love to a priest... I could go on and on...

The lives of these "Women In Love" have been causing tremendous fuss in the Brazilian media, and it's got all the right ingredients to be a successful project.

Charmed (1998–2006)

Awesome supernatural drama, by Aaron Spelling.

[16 June 2001]

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** In 1998, three young sisters reunite on their grandmother's manor, in San Francisco, after her death. Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) are the three last Halliwell of their family. In a stormy night, Phoebe goes up to the attic and discovers a witchcraft book, by the name of "Book Of Shadows", she read a spell out of it which releases their supernatural powers. Prue gets the ability to move things with her mind (telekinesis), Piper learns how to freeze time (temporal stasis) and Phoebe receives the gift of seeing into the future (premonitions). Together, they have the Power of Three, the greatest good power ever known, and must fight the forces of evil. As time passes, their powers keep on growing, such as their bond as sisters and they also receive new abilities.

However, after three spell-binding years, the unexpected happened: the Power of Three was broken forever with the death of the eldest sister. Now, a mysterious and unknown fourth sibling might be their only chance to restore that power and keep saving the world from Hell.

Highly recommended: great entertainment for the whole family as it shows no nudity, no rated violence and no adult content.
