Weekend Bingewatch: I Watched The OG 'Charmed' And Here's What You Need To Know
The CW

An oldie, but a goodie. "Charmed" premiered way back in October of 1998 and ended in May of 2006.

This show has become one of my favorite shows, and it's definitely a different one if you're looking for a new show to binge this weekend.

While you won't get it done before your Monday meeting because there are eight seasons, you will definitely become interested in the characters and what they do on a day to day basis.

Like "Friends," "Charmed" definitely aligns with the '90s to early '00s fashion, which we STAN.

Also in true '90s TV fashion, there are a lot of holes in the storyline and the graphics are kind of, well, laughable at times. But that is all OK and we accept it and love the show regardless.

What's "Charmed" about?

The show focuses on three sisters, Phoebe, Prue, and Piper who have connected again after the death of their grandmother who have gained magic powers and become powerful witches.

I know, I know, it already sounds cheesy and really odd, but HEAR ME OUT.

The sisters are known as The Charmed Ones and work to fight off evil beings that threaten the safety of humanity in San Francisco, CA.

Throughout the show, you see the progression of their relationships as sisters and their strength as witches. And of course, there are boy problems, drama, and everyday TV plots as well.

After a few seasons, one of the sisters loses her life in one of their fights against evil and it breaks the bond of the "Power of Three" taking away their "Charmed Ones" status. Later on, they discover that their mother had another daughter and gave her up for adoption.

They meet their new sister, Paige, by fate and reignite the "Charmed Ones" and continue to fight evil together.

Phoebe has the power of premonition, levitation, and empathy, Piper has the power to freeze things and blow things up, Prue has the power of telekinesis and astral projection, and Paige has the power to orb, which is essentially teleporting to wherever she wants and teleporting anything to wherever she wants.

I always wanted to watch this show when I was younger but was never allowed so it's fun to watch it now and reminisce on the times when my parents controlled my viewing habits. Ah, the good old days.

I give "Charmed" a 9.5 out of 10 for your weekend bingewatch.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
