* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Princess Weekes of ''The Mary Sue'' got a lot of criticism for her article "Was ''Charmed'' Ever Really a Feminist Show''?" (and her answer to the question was a flat no).

** Season 6 is highly polarising: some loved it for returning to the arc-based storytelling, for having fan-favorite [[PrettyBoy future Chris]], a powerful WellIntentionedExtremist villain, and for an epic finale that [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct showed off Brian Krause's acting chops]]. Others despised it for a number of reasons: the Piper/Leo drama, the [[DenserAndWackier too light and childish storylines]], the [[{{Fanservice}} skimpiness]] spilling into the sisters' everyday clothing, the number of continuity errors spiralling out of control, and a severe case of WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants made worse by [[RealLifeWritesThePlot having to write Holly Marie Combs' real-life pregnancy in]]. The characterisation of Phoebe and Paige was also [[{{Flanderization}} terrible]], with the former [[TookALevelInJerkass solidifying her jerkassery and selfishness]] and the latter [[AesopAmnesia throwing away]] a season-worth of character growth and going back to being reckless and insisting on flying solo. On top of that, fans of Phoebe and Paige were disappointed that [[SpotlightStealingSquad Wyatt took over the entirety of the storyline]] leaving his aunts with little to do, while Piper fans were frustrated by her decreased screen time to accomodate Holly's pregnancy.

** Bianca, a time traveler from a BadFuture and the fiancée of an adult Chris, only appears in one episode, when fans would have loved seeing either her adult self travel back again after the timeline changed and/or have her FutureBadass child's self get to know the Halliwells.

** Despite the fact that no LaResistance is ever even mentioned, fans often have Chris be the creator and leader of a resistance against Wyatt in the unchanged future.

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Chris in that he was ever only shady at worst, not truly evil, but most of his die-hard fans, who clamour that the Charmed Ones and Leo "mistreated and ignored" him before they found out [[spoiler:that he's Piper and Leo's second son]], seem to forget that he spent the entire first half of season six manipulating and lying to literally ''everyone'', and some of his ends-justify-the-means actions include colluding with demons time and time again, letting some into the Manor with no warning to the Sisters, disrupting Piper's family life, kidnapping Leo, and even one on-screen murder of a Valkyrie (with another two implied off-screen) to get the sisters their Valkyrie pendants. Even though his motives turned out to be noble, his actions still left plenty of reason for the Sisters and Leo (and even the audience) to suspect, mistrust and keep him at arm's length.
