embracing them. i'm about 8 minutes in, and they already talked about consent being changed at any time, and CISmales. I can't tell if it's supposed to just be jokes or they are serious

sounds like the remake is a steaming pile of shit

...youre not sure if a show with primarily women as their audience is making jokes about consent?

I was never even into the original so I really didn't know what to expect

It's more serious about it than it is "joking," but it does make the point that the one complaining about it is also overly angry because her mother died.

I'll take "What is Poe's law?" for $500.

Whatever.

It's CW. Their idea of subtly is to use a sledgehammer to drive in a nail.

It's supposed to be serious.

They're super serious. There's a big push on CW for women creating content to empower women. That's why you see the women's studies teacher with all daughters fighting to keep a predator male professor off campus in the first few minutes of the episode, to go along with the male demon that drains strong women, talk of white cis males complete with a white cis male classmate that exists solely to be despised, and the rest.

One sister wants to join a sorority and engages in a heterosexual relationship, but she gets shit on for the sorority bit and dumps the guy before long. The 'down with the patriarchy' sister continues her rocky lesbian relationship. The third sister is sort of feeling out a potential heterosexual relationship, but that's a tossup at the moment.

So, rather than a show about 3 people saving the world, it's 3 people engaged in popular social ideals with some weird stuff happening in the background. Did they really need to reboot an old show to do that?

No, it's not really like that. It's given some prominence, but it was still a relatively minor part of the show. And in the second episode, I don't even remember it being referenced.

This kinda nonsense insults most normal Women though and does nothing to empower. It feels like charity activism more than actual care.

This show sounds hilarious maybe it will catch on like the room for being unintentionally funny.

Charmed has always been awful.
