Dramatically a good choice to reign in the lead characters without it being from a rando demon.
Design wise its a bit too Christian looking. A huge flaw in the later series.
And that non-actor with the beard who we see a couple of times as the Elder. That actor had no business being an actor.
I think it's interesting they started as a moral authority only to be revealed as largely having been corrupted by their status and power in various ways. I feel like the lady one and the guy who was Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince were the least bad but most of them sucked.
They were horrible. Look at Gideon when he tried to kill Wyatt for "the greater good". They sent the cleaners to wipe Wyatt of the face of the earth. They tried to redeem themselves in the end by sending Coop to Pheobe.
Irritating. They go from saying they don't get involved to actively trying to control outcomes. The whole trying to kill a toddler thing & forcing Leo to choose them over his family was punch worthy. The fact Piper didn't take any of them out is a miracle.
