Monster of the Week is great, but Charmed is not an example of it done well. They forget anything character or morality driven.

[(Anonymous)]

I am so fucking sick of things being 'morality driven'. It makes for boring stories. I can't wait for the modern trend of it to die.

Stories about people simply being flawed humans are much more interesting and usually carry any intended moral message far better than the pasted on black and white morality BS you get these days.

[philstar22]

Flawed, sure. But only if the show acknowledges they are flawed. Charmed often applauded terrible acts by the main characters. I liked Charmed, at least the earlier seasons. But it really did not do morality well.

[darkmanifest]

It did try, at least early on. That whole episode where they learned one simple act of spite with magic led to them being witchhunted and they had to accept that they deserved it for turning into monsters was one of my favorites. The show just had a short memory and by the time it got to the whole mess with Cole and Phoebe going to the dark side, it was like, tee-hee, no consequences for this shit.

[philstar22]

No consequences for Phoebe. Cole got all the consequences when he never actually originally chose to go evil. He was freaking possessed and still got blamed.

Yes, early on the show did try. But from season 4 on, the shows morality boiled mostly down to the girls + Leo can do anything and they are right vs. anyone who disagrees with them is evil.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't mean like general morals. But them learning any lesson whatsoever.

Also Charmed had that "must not do things selfish for magic to work" that never really mattered.

[philstar22]

It did in the early seasons, kind of. Season 6 and further though. Suddenly everyone was allowed to be selfish. Although Phoebe gets called on it a little and gets parts of her magic taken. But no one else gets called on it when Piper and Paige were just a bad.
