Charmed: The Complete Series

Let me start out by saying this is a different kind of review and as you read on you will find out why. I am assuming that anyone who has bought this edition or is thinking about it already knows what a marvelous show this was to have succeeded eight years on the air. anyone investing this kind of money knows this. There fore I decided to review the presentation of this most unusual and incredible packaging, etc... Read on:I absolutely love this deluxe limited edition. Worth every penny. I repeat, Anyone who has invested this much money to purchase this copy already knows that the series is fabulous. I want to talk about the presentation of the book of shadows edition. I saw the much smaller one in a store. It was half the size and quite frankly disappointing looking. Plus I heard that there was a problem with glue getting on the discs. This GORGEOUS edition is just that gorgeous. It's just like owning your own Book of Shadows.Beautifully and artistically rendered. I was an art major in college and am very critical about art in general. I was so impressed when I opened up this very heavy package I received in the mail that I knew what it was right away, as I get a lot of packages in general. This lovely rendering of The Book of Shadows does not disappoint. Whomever put this together should be very proud of themselves whether it be one person or a collaboration.I was honestly sorry that I didn't buy a few books. When the descriptions came out for the two different versions they were the same and there was no way of telling what the differences were. One just had to take a gamble and I decided I best go with the more expensive one hoping that I wasn't making a mistake. Thrilled that I made the right choice I highly recommend any charmed fan or even a new watcher of the series to just not waste time and get this edition right off thebat. You won't in anyway be sorry.The only thing I feel they could have done better was the packaging of the book itself. I feel that it should have had a cover on the box itself for protection. It's not too late for the manufacturer to make covers and offer them for a couple bucks. I bet they would fly right outof the warehouse as I cannot be the only person that feels this way.Something so beautiful really should be better protected.Also, a small thing but nonetheless nice would have been if they had added a few more ribbon page dividers. All in all I couldn't be happier that I chose the full size authentic rendering of Charmed's "Book of Shadows" disc set. I'm just altogether THRILLED in case anyone didn't catch my opinion the first time. Just kidding!This is truly a work of art worthy of displaying the artwork in the book itself. It goes without saying that the Series is the obvious reason anyone buys the seasonal collections. Yet in this particular case that Is why I chose to review the actual Book of Shadows packaging more than or at least equal to the DVD set. This reminds me of when I was a child and cared more about the wrapping paper than the gift itself. At least the principal holds up. I display mine in my living area of my home. It's as much a piece of artwork as the paintings I have hanging on my walls.A real catch if you can still find one. A++++ rating.

This show is a classic. One of my comfort shoes. 🔮 all the cozy witchy vibes. The set came in good condition. No complaints.

I love this series. It is very convenient for me to watch. It is in tip top shape when i received it.

I have been a Charmed fan for forever. I was Thrilled to get the complete series for my birthday recently!! My only "problem" is that I don't believe there are subtitles at all. Other than that? Not a thing wrong!! Excited to be chilling with my cat and watch this all the way through!

If you're looking for magic fun, this is it.

I finally purchased it when the price went down. I was very excited to receive this a day early. Packaging was in good shape, there appears to be no broken discs and scratches, but so far on season one I've had a couple episode skip a little. There is one major downside to this set for me that prevents it getting 5 stars, is there are no subtitles available. I can't understand half of what the cast is saying, which is very frustrating. So I have the volume up really loud and I don't want to disturb my apartment neighbors, so watching this in the evening after a long day in of work is a no-go.

So, I won't bother writing about how much I love the show itself. Just know - I love the characters and the story. The bonus features included are a must-watch for any Charmed fan. I especially enjoyed the history of the Book of Shadows and the unaired pilot. (Can you IMAGINE anyone other than Alyssa Milano playing Phoebe???)I want to spend time on this box set - it's AMAZING. One of the most creative ways I've seen a series packaged. The "Book" is a great way to display the CDs and keep them altogether. I also like the way the stories are laid out, each episode described. The prop book is really cool. The cover is the worn-looking, heavy green binding with the Power of Three symbol, raised imprint on the front. The pages have clearly been manufactured (in other words, not the old-world paper, hand-inked) - but it doesn't take away from the campy fun. The reproduction pages are detailed and the artwork adds to the folklore and stories. There are 2 ribbon placeholders that you can slide into your favorite pages/episodes for quick reference.If you plan to purchase all seasons, I strongly suggest you splurge and buy all at once. The price is reasonable - slightly cheaper than if you buy individual seasons over time. This would be a FANTASTIC gift if someone in your life loves the series. And if they haven't seen it, know the storyline would be loved by anyone that enjoyed supernatural shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, or Supernatural.Very well done box set. It's so unique, I actually leave it out as a decoration and focal point. Enjoy!
