Holly Marie Combs took issue (https://www.tvtattle.com/item/Holly-Marie-Combs-bashes-CW-s-Charmed-reboot-and-its-feminist-twist-Don-t-even-think-of-capitalizing-on-our-hard-work-YESo0K) with the "feminist" emphasis on The CW's planned reboot (https://www.tvtattle.com/item/The-CW-orders-a-fierce-funny-feminist-Charmed-reboot-pilot-z8S5mb) of Charmed. “Guess we forgot to do that the first go around. Hmph,” she tweeted. But according to Princess Weekes, “Charmed is a mixed bag if we want to view it through a feminist lens.” She adds that although Charmed was a “girl power” show, its insight into gender is so shallow it barely goes below the surface” and it was hardly feminist in its choice of skimpy outfits.
ALSO:
Shannen Doherty tweeted her reaction to the proposed “feminist” reboot (https://pagesix.com/2018/01/29/shannen-doherty-tries-and-fails-to-stay-positive-about-charmed-reboot/): “Their wording is terrible and a bit offensive. But, everyone makes mistakes. Perhaps with the backlash they will be more thoughtful in future….Very ignorant stupid comment. Perhaps made by a millennial that never watched the show and just read a synopsis on it.”
