The mission of three beautiful protagonists of The Charmed is to vanquish evil from the world

IT is the time-tested good-triumphs-over-evil theme. The Charmed on Tuesdays at 6 P.M. on AXN India holds immense appeal because of the performances of its three beautiful protagonists. The story revolves around three sisters, Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell, who reunite in their ancestral home. When the youngest sister, Phoebe, ventures into the locked attic, she recites a passage from an ancient book, which transforms them into The Charmed Ones — the most powerful witches ever to exist. Now they must vanquish evil and save innocent lives while living normally. The sisters soon realise that life isn’t so easy when you’re charmed.

Cracking the criminal mind

Crime series Lie To Me from Tuesday to Thursday at 10 P.M. on Star World has Dr Carl Lightman (Tim Roth) and his sleuths cracking difficult cases that the law enforcement agencies cannot solve. In fact, Dr Lightman also has the uncanny ability of unravelling the minds of the toughest criminals. A virtual human polygraph, he has the gift of reading ‘micro expressions’ through body language, which helps him identify criminals. The show is said to be based on a real-life American fspecialist, who could interpret even a twitch of the face and crack some of the toughest crimes that stumped the best investigative brains. — NF
