To anyone who may be thinking of watching Eastwick,I won't presume to tell you what you should and should not watch, but I do with to warn you in advance. SPOILER. There is no reasonable excuse for the depiction of rape by Joanna Frankel (Lindsay Price) in episode 8 (Paint and Pleasure). In the afore mentioned episode Frankel forces (ie. against his will) a man to have sex with her in order to make herself feel better about herself. Later it is revealed that the man is is a happily married gay man, and her rape will likely result in the end of said marriage. The show treats this horrific event as light-hearted humor.You have been warned

"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.

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!!!!

It has been a long time since I've given a show a try and fallen in love so quickly...before the first half hour finished! The cast works amazing together, they're very believable in their roles....and not just the main roles.It's light and dark at the same time. My only complaint was that some of the commercial breaks weren't quite long enough for me to dart to the bathroom. I feared I might explode before the end, but I didn't want to miss even a second! I can easily see myself waiting on the edge of my seat after the finale. I'm already itchy for next week. I hope they can keep up the 'oomph' that the pilot has! Way to go, it's certainly a winner!
