Looks like it will be a cute, easy watching show that should appeal to a wide range of family viewers. No big, deep messages or morals, nor roll in the aisles comedy, but keeps you smiling the whole way through. The three women work well together, their very different personalities contrasting and complementing just like the very different powers that they possess. Jaime Ray Newman is totally believable as the "doormat" housewife, and mother of five (and the favorite character of our five kids). Lindsay Price and Rebecca Romijn also fit their roles perfectly as the scatterbrained journalist and the earthy artist. We will tune in to see how this "dynamic trio" will come together to confront the ideally cast demon Paul Gross, and the small-town small-minded community that they are about to be unleashed upon.
"Eastwick" which is a spin off from the 1987 film "Witches of Eastwick" is actually a pretty good and quite interesting series. As it is based around a trio of witches who deal with their daily lives and work with the devil himself mister Van Horne. This series has pretty good chemistry among the characters it's trio of women Joanna(Lindsay Price "Lipstick Jungle" and "90210" alum)Roxie(the beautiful and attractive voluptuous Rebecca Romijn)and Kat(newcomer Jaime Ray Newman)all live and work in a beautiful New England town. They seem normal as they have children and date then all of a sudden Darryl Van Horne(Paul Gross) comes to town and the strange happenings and mystery enters their lives. They don't know what to make of him friend or foe. As with any tale involving witches this show has your typical magic of the women being able to see into the future, spell castings, and moving objects. And a real treat for viewers is how it's blended with sex appeal as so far many episodes has featured the witch gals in hot steamy love making scenes. And many times they look sexy as each have had scenes in sexy colored bras. Overall this series is a nice mixed bag of mystery and drama like sex appeal nothing great yet it's a watch to refresh the imagination.
You can't compare it to Charmed, it's different. Eastwick has it's own aura that's very enjoyable to watch. Following the lives of 3 young women in the small town of Eastwick, this series contains drama, mystery, humor and sexy ladies for bonus. The characters are very likable especially Lindsay Price, she is very cute and gorgeous to watch. And another thing that caught my eyes, is how beautiful the set is, very nice design give it a small town spooky look.
It has some flaw, but definitely not a bad show at all, and was disappointed they cut it off. I enjoyed watching it, and maybe you will too.

Yes, at times the story is predictable and some characters are cliché, but the show is straight-up fun to watch. There's plenty of "girls nights," embarrassing situations, fun flirtations and female empowerment. The writers have managed to developed interesting, likable leading female characters, each with their own quirks and unique perspectives.
The magic portrayed in each episode is subtle enough that it could possibly be seen as coincidence, which is a nice touch. My only qualm so far is that there aren't any well-developed and likable male leads. However, definitely give Eastwick a chance. At least watch the first few episodes, they are much better than the pilot. They just might get you hooked!!!!

I was skeptical when I first saw the previews. I thought, "This looks like The Witches of Eastwick." Which, it turned out, it was. I immediately wondered how on earth they would be able to drag the story out long enough to create a series. I'm also not the biggest fan of Rebecca Romijn, and wasn't sure if they would destroy the love I have for Jack Nicholson in the role of Darryl in the film - but I had nothing to worry about. Rebecca is hilarious and Paul Gross is brilliant as Darryl. Granted, my expectations were low for the pilot, and I was surprised at how much I loved it. These actors work well together, their relationships are believable, and some of the lines have made me laugh pretty hard - all adding up to a good time. I am thoroughly enjoying the series so far - and I hope it continues to be as good as it has been.
