Charmed: The Complete Third Season is a little different from its previous seasons in that the long-running series, for the first time, is dominated by a single story arc that affects nearly every episode. Actor Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck, Fantastic Four) joins the Charmed cast as Assistant District Attorney Cole Turner, who enters the show when he unsuccessfully prosecutes a demon-possessed killer who attacks the Halliwell sisters' police ally, Inspector Morris (Dorian Gregory). In short order, Cole becomes romantically involved with Phoebe (Alyssa Milano), but it's soon revealed that he's actually a demon, part of an unholy plot to destroy the Charmed Ones, i.e. the Halliwell sisters.
Trouble is, Cole's human incarnation begins to battle with his demon self, and the rest of the season is really dedicated to the ramifications of his ambivalence. Even old issues on Charmed, such as the forbidden love of Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Leo (Brian Krause), an angelic Whitelighter, become secondary to the Cole-Phoebe story. (The latter becomes supernatural when Phoebe's misery over Cole turns her into a shrieking Banshee and the pair meet up in the hellish Dark Side.) Season highlights include "Primrose Empath," in which Shannen Doherty gives a superb performance when her character, Prue Halliwell, takes on the powers of an empath and is soon overwhelmed by the emotional pain carried by scores of others. "Sleuthing with the Enemy" finds Prue and Piper, in the first of several such stories, working at opposite purposes from Phoebe, who is intent on saving Cole from capture or destruction. The clever and comic "Look Who's Barking" concerns a spell that turns Prue into a Banshee-tracking dog who gets hit by a car and briefly becomes the pet of a handsome, single man. Season finale "All Hell Breaks Loose" may be the best Charmed episode in its first three years, a scary and apocalyptic tale in which the powers of the Halliwell sisters, long kept secret, are revealed to an insatiable news media, the police and military, and dangerous crazies. Not to be missed. --Tom Keogh
Description
Protecting the innocent, vanquishing evil and evil doers, and generally righting wrongs are not exactly on the agenda of every twenty-something on the fast track to discovering what life's all about. But for the Halliwell sisters, this has become their destiny. Prue, the oldest, is driven to succeed and dislikes the free-spirited antics of the youngest sister Phoebe. Piper, the earthy middle sister, mediates between her siblings. Phoebe discovers The Book of Shadows in the attic and their witchly powers are activated, igniting a bond that reaches beyond petty, sisterly grudges. Prue has the power to move objects, Piper to freeze time and Phoebe to see the future. The sisters must band together to protect themselves, and the world, from the dark, demonic forces that seek to destroy them. It's an existence fraught with excitement and danger, but these three unique sisters wouldn't trade their "charmed" lives for anything.

The Power of Season 3, Will Set You Free!!,
By lenzino7383 "BigBlue" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charmed: Season 3 (DVD)
Now I still haven't bought the seasons yet because I don't have the room for them or the money. But this season is very tempting to buy since it is the best season of Charmed's 8 year run (with the exception of Season 4!) What made this the best season was everything, the acting, the action, the characters, the storylines.....All top notch! This season was Prue, Piper, and Phoebe at their magical best as the Charmed Ones. This season introduces one of the best characters ever, Cole Turner aka. Belthazor!!! Cole is such a refreshing character, half human/half demon!!! The story between Cole and Phoebe's forbidden love was amazing to watch!!! Piper and Leo continue to fight for their love and it leads to the day we've all been waiting for....!!! Prue grows more powerful as a witch, but struggles to find anything else in her life. This unfortunately meets her downfall by the end of the season!! Here is Season 3:The Honeymoon's Over-Good episode!!! "When Prue and Phoebe trackdown demons called the Guardians, they meet assistant district attorney Cole Turner while Piper and Leo return from their sudden disappearence!!!" A good premeire! The guardians were interesting demons, Phoebe's becomes a blonde and gets a new power:Levitation!! Magic Hour-Weak episode!!! "The Charmed Ones must help a couple who have been cursed to become animals by a demon, while Piper and Leo try to get married!!!" A rather corny plot, but it's sad at the end when Leo goes away and Piper cried for him!!! Once Upon A Time-Weak episode!!! "The Charmed Ones must help a little girl and her fairy princess from a group of evil Trolls, while Piper deals after losing Leo!!!" It was embarrassing to see Prue and Phoebe acting so childish but Holly was great in this episode where she really shows the pain in Piper's feelings for Leo!!! All Haliwell's Eve-Great episode!!! "On Halloween, The Charmed Ones are sent back to the 1600's to protect an unborn baby, while Leo and Darryl fight the Grimlocks at the manor!!" This episode not only gave us a look on how the Haliwell line started, but how the myth of witches began!! Sight Unseen-Great episode!!! "When Prue finds the manor trashed, she assumes it's a demonic attack from the Triad, while her sisters doubt her paranoid ideas. But soon the sisters will find out the attacker is more mortal than demonic!!" This episode was just so original and had an amazing twist. All our leading ladies give great perfomances!! Primrose Empath-Great episode!! "When Prue tries to help an innocent who is cursed with empathy, she gets the power herself which starts to quickly drive her insane!!!" Shannon gives her best performance to date in this episode that you can't help but feel her pain. The fight scene at the end is really great, too!! Power Outage-Great episode!!! "When Belthazor orders Andres, the Demon of rage to infect the sisters, it causes them to lose their powers and become vunerable to attack!!!" This episode had some nice fight scenes, and great sisterly bonding. Cole finally shows how much he loves Phoebe, which is such a amazing moment!!! Sleuthing With The Enemy-Great episode!!! "When Prue and Piper combine forces with a bounty hunter to track down Belthazor, Phoebe helps an injured Cole who finally reveals himself to her!!" I love how Cole reveals himself, and the ending is just so emotional how Phoebe and Cole have to say goodbye!!! Coyote Piper-Great episode!! "During Piper's high school reunion, she is possessed by an evil female essence leaving Prue and Phoebe to save her!!!" Holly really owns this episode that gives her a lot more range of acting to do!!! We All Scream For Ice Cream-Good episode!!! "The Charmed Ones must save children who are being upducted by an evil Ice Scream truck, but soon realize who the true enemies are!!!" This was another episode with a nice twist, the demonic children were kind of scary and refreshing!!! Papa Haliwell returns with a new face and a better actor!!! Blinded By The Whitelighter-Great episode!! "When a warlock named Eames plans to rid the world of witches and whitelighters, the sisters have no choice but to follow the orders of a whitelighter named Natalie!!!" This episode was very entertaining, the scenes with Natalie and the sisters was so funny!!! Phoebe tells Leo that Cole is alive!!! Wrestling With Demons-Pretty good episode!!! "The Charmed Ones must save Tom, Prue ex's boyfriend, who is becoming a demon which leds to a fight between them and demons in a wrestle ring for his soul!!" The episode was very funny, and the fight scene with Prue, Phoebe and the wrestlers was great!!! Also, Phoebe tells her sisters that Cole is alive!!! Bride and Gloom-Great episode!!! "When a demonic preistess marries Prue and a warlock with an evil spell, Piper and Phoebe become evil and reck havok!!!" It was fun to see the girls acting evil and using their evil powers!!! Also, Cole returns!!! The Good, The Bad, and The Cursed-Pretty good episode!!! "When Phoebe becomes supernaturally ill, Prue and Cole travel through a time loop to the 1800's to save an Indian man to break the curse!!" Cole and Prue bashing each other through episode was funny, and Victor reaction to Leo being a whitelighter was funny!!! Just Harried-Great episode!!! "On Piper and Leo's wedding day, Prue is wanted for murder after her astral self causes trouble in a bar and at the wedding!" It was nice to finally see Piper and Leo get married!!! Seeing all the sisters with their mother was such an emotional moment!!! Death Takes A Halliwell-Great episode!! "When the Charmed Ones are fighting the Seekers who are after Belthazor, Prue meets the Angel of Death who teaches her a lesson!!!" The seekers were really good demons, The forshadowing of Prue's death is shocking and Shannon gives a great performance!!! Pre-witched-Great episode!!! "When Piper and Leo decide to move out, the sisters try to vanquish a warlock as they recall 3 years ago when they didn't have their powers yet and Grams was alive!" This episode was really amazing as we got to see how the girls were before they were witches!!! W. Earl Brown who plays the warlock was brilliant!! Sin Fransico-Great episode!! "When trying to find the demon who is controlling the 7 deadly sins, the sisters and Leo become infected by them and cause serious problems!" How each of the characters got infected was funny!!! Phoebe becoming the whore, Piper over buying, Prue being....more Prue-like, and Leo being such a slob!!! The Demon That Came In From The Cold-Great Episode!!! "After Cole and Phoebe are attacked, Cole goes undercover in his old coven, the Brotherhood. But his sudden evil deeds makes the sisters wonder has he gone back to the dark side!" This was a dark episode that really shows how good Cole can be!! But the ending leaves many wondering what will happen next!!! Exit Strategy-Great episode!!! "Raynor devises a plan sending Cole after 2 amulets that combined could become powerful, The sisters try to save Cole while Piper tries to control her destructive new power!!!" It was funny seeing Piper using her new power, especially when she knocked Prue out!!! It was so sad seeing the sisters turn on Cole at the end though!!! Look Who's Barking-Good episode!!! "When tracking down a Banshee, Prue becomes a dog while Piper tries to deal with her new power and Phoebe deals with her pain over losing Cole!!!" Alyssa really shines in this episode, and your just hoping Cole and Phoebe will be together by the end!!! Prue as a dog brought a lot of funny moments like Piper and Phoebe cleaning her poo!!! All Hell Breaks Loose-Incredible episode!!! "After vanquishing the demon Shax, the sisters are exposed on national TV, which causes terrible consequences as the whole city is at their doorstep!" This is by far, the best episode of the series!! Everyone gives an amazing performance, espeically Holly who makes her death scene so real!!! Also, this is Prue's last episode, and boy does she leave her mark!!! So Season 3 really shows what Charmed is all about and the show was at it's pick!!! Shannon Doherty is a great actress and her presence as Prue was truly missed after her exit! So go get the dvd, and re-live the Golden day of Charmed!!!

This review is from: Charmed: Season 3 (DVD)
Je suis très heureuse d'avoir le coffret, car contrairement aux autres celle-ci vient avec la version en français. Malheureusement, c'est la dernière saison dans laquelle joue Prue et meurt à la fin.c'était ma préférée.

The One with One Story Arc,
By A Customer
This review is from: Charmed: Season 3 (DVD)
In this season, which when it aired was considered the best, is for the first time a season with one story arc. If you prefer the semi monster-of-the-week setting of S1 and S2, skip this. If you prefer it, buy this season before any other (if you're on a limited budget).And even if you don't like the season in its whole, this package is worth the money just to get to see the daring, shocking and pivotal series episode "All Hell Breaks Loose". It's well acted, supernatural fun.
