Description of Charmed - The Final Season (Season 8):
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 shannen doherty seasons were the best 
2008-06-26 - I've been a fan of Charmed since I began watching it mid-season two, and faithfully followed the show...that is until mid-season five. I still consider myself a huge fan, but for me the show really ended when Shannen Doherty departed. Yes I am a HUGE Shannen Doherty fan but her leaving wasn't the only reason I stopped watching this show. Yes that was part of it, because I never stopped missing Prue, and her absence was always noticeable in the episodes, but I did actually enjoy season four, and even warmed up to Rose Mcgowans character "Paige" I was quite happy that they chose to make a new sister instead of just choosing a new actress to play Prue. And the season four episodes were actually quite good and well done.
But then in season 5 they just started getting extremely lame and I stopped watching the show. Every once in a while I would tune in to an episode just out of curiousity, if only to see what the Halliwells were up to, but every episode was a disappointment.
Which brings me to this season...season 8. I've probably seen a total of 2 episodes from this season, so it may seem unfair of me to be reviewing it...but seriously, this is Charmed at its worst. Just from seeing a few episodes, it felt as if it was an entirely different show.
I didn't follow this season while it was still airing, but did decide to tune into the series finale, and was HUGELY disappointed. Granted, I obviously knew that there was no chance of Shannen Doherty making a guest appearance, but I still feel that they could have given more of a tribute to her character Prue. Its true that it may seem that Paige was a bigger part of the show, seeing as how Rose Mcgowan was part of the show for 5 seasons, while Shannen was only on for 3 seasons, but still. Prue was part of the orginal power of 3, so I feel her character should have been given more credit.
And aside from that, the series finale just wasn't good. I've imagined a million different ways that the show could have ended, and each idea was way better than what the actual result was.
If you've never seen this show, please do not base your opinion on this season, or any of the later seasons, as I feel that they don't do the show justice. Atleast start with season one, and go from there.
I'd only advise you to buy this season if you are a die-hard Charmed fan, and feel the need to have the entire series on DVD.
As for me, I will settle for having the first four seasons on DVD, and to occassionally tuning into the re-runs of the later seasons on TNT.
