What We Think

Charmed (1998) is a product of its time: a little bit of ‘girl power’ but not the hyper-woke trends we see today. It largely sticks to story over social messaging, making it a low-woke, nostalgia-friendly watch.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Charmed (1998) centers on three sisters, and their personalities and arcs matter more than identity checklists. Diversity isn't forced, and the series doesn’t really shoehorn in contemporary identity politics. Any ‘girl power’ is rooted in character and story rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Charmed spotlights sisterhood and female empowerment, it doesn’t overtly undermine family or tradition. The women are strong, but relationships with male characters and family dynamics are still depicted pretty traditionally for the late '90s. No glaring attacks on religion or masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Generally, Charmed doesn’t treat traditional views as villainous; early seasons show a mix of perspectives. There's an emphasis on good and evil in a classic sense. Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked, background characters represent a variety of ‘90s norms and values.
