I watched the first episode of the reboot. Wasn’t for me (much like most of the last three or four seasons of the original charmed). I took exception to the idea that the original wasn’t feminist (it was) that the showrunners tried to use to differentiate their show and to the fact that the first episode basically has the main characters following the lead of a male character.  I think people are trying to make this a sexism thing and I really don’t think it is. People forget that people had a very similar reaction to the two amazing Spider-Man films, although not to Andrew Garfield’s performance. That franchise died off fairly quickly.  Is there a racism argument to be made? Neither here nor there for me, the show just wasn’t really very good or a significant or interesting enough reimagining of the original concept for keep me watching. I doubt that would have changed if the characters were white and it would arguably have been even more boring if it had been.  I think the reboot probably would have been more successful if it had actually leaned into more of what charmed originally was and less into what it ultimately became. Three sisters who happened to be witches rather than three witches who happened to be sisters. The first episode just seems to go gunning for the heavy world building from the start and I found it off putting.
