I already knew Charmed, of course. It's one of the most famous series of the 90s. But, over the years, I'd never been interested in getting to know it better. In the mid-2000s, I remember reruns on broadcast and cable TV. What I keep from these reruns is the memory of a sub-produced program, with effects of dubious taste - this, in a way, influenced the image of Charmed in my head. I spent a long time believing that I would see something trashy and of poor quality if I gave the little witches a chance. What was my surprise when I started watching the series and realized that it was the exact opposite? A fun show, well acted, with good dialog and pace. This episode, in particular, left me wanting more. Magical in every way: for bringing back the atmosphere of the 70s, and for delving deep into the Halliwells' past and giving us the chance to savor the building of a memory of Phoebe with her mother.
