Charmed: Unpacking a Witchy Portrayal of Students' College Navigation Experiences - JCAPS Vol. 4 Issue 2
This media review analyzes a contemporary reboot of Charmed (2018). Specifically, we illuminate the show’s portrayal of student development, identity, and social and academic life through main character story arcs. While some aspects of the characters’ experiences are well-intentioned, the writers often contradict themselves and misrepresent the social dynamics surrounding important issues of identity and self-exploration. Nevertheless, the nuances within season one can underscore opportunities for higher education practitioners to assist students in their college navigation and identity formation processes.
