A true treat for fans of the horror and Sci-Fi genre

Supernatural is one of those shows that comes around every 20 to 30years and is a true hit and has a real cult following. And for verygood reason. The story arc throughout the seasons and for every seasonindividually is very strong and intelligent. It has great writing andhas awesome views on the popular monsters of our culture, Vampires,Wearwolves and such. The two leads, Sam and Dean Winchester are greatcharacters, really well-written and outstandingly acted by JensenAckles and Jared Padalecki. Jeffrey Dean Morgan was perfect casting fortheir father John Winchester. I don't want to give too many detailsaway for the viewers coming into the show but Sam and Dean are brotherswho were raised in the life of hunting monsters and evil creaturesbecause their mother was killed by a demon when they were very young.The show starts out with Sam out of hunting and at college, it doesn'tlast long though as Dean comes to him and tells him their father hasgone missing on a hunting mission and he needs help finding him. Thereare many twists and turns throughout the course of the series, therelationship between Sam and Dean is the true highlight of the show.There's also plenty of great action and suspense as well as hilarioushumor. If you haven't seen the show yet, please pick it up and give ita shot, you will not be disappointed. The show is a well deserved 10out of 10 because it has all the ingredients and making of a greatshow.

Everybody needs to be watching!

TV as of late has completely turned me off to watching it. Too manyreality shows. Too many doctor dramas. Too many crime dramas. I wasflipping through one day and caught an episode of Supernatural called"The Benders". Right away I was immediately sucked in. The stories aresuspenseful and very character-based. They aren't hokey or cheesy asyou may expect from horror or science fiction type shows. The castingcouldn't have been better. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki haveamazing on-screen chemistry as brothers. They have the ability toemotionally charge the episodes. The overall look and detail of thesets make you feel as though you are watching a movie. This show isserious, witty, scary, and dramatic all in the same sense. Too manypeople are missing out on a great hour of television. I highlyrecommend watching Supernatural.

Horror TV Makes Big Comeback with Supernatural

Fans of things that go bump in the night will remember fondly showslike The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone, but not since the originalNight Stalker series (starring the late-great Darren McGavin) have Ienjoyed a weekly horror episodic such as Supernatural. It's the showI've been waiting for. Finally, horror meets mainstream on network TV.(SPOILERS) In the pilot for Supernatural we witness the fiery death ofa young mother as she hovers over her child's crib. Fastforward severalyears to Sam, the son who witnessed this inexplicable carnage. Sam hasseparated from what is left of his family in a desperate attempt toescape this burning memory and lead a 'normal' life. When his brotherDean shows up desperate for Sam's help, they haven't spoken in years.Dean tells Sam their father is missing, gone too long on a 'hunting'trip. Sam is in law school and wants no part of it. It isn't untilSam's girlfriend suffers the same fate as his mother that he agrees tohelp Dean find their dad and the thing that killed the only two womenhe has ever loved.Sam and Dean's pursuit force them to face their demons quite literally.We learn that Dean and his father have forsaken the status quo of dailylife, choosing instead to reside on the fringe of society. Theirtransient existence is solely dedicated to a search and destroy missionof the evil that killed Sam and Dean's mother. Now in law school, Sam'srefusal to join them in battle has led to years of familial discourseand a severing of ties. Now forced into 'the hunt', Sam's destiny issealed and there is no going back. Classic rock blasting from Dean's pristinely restored black '67 ChevyImpala, the search for dear-old-Dad curves and weaves along the backroads of America as they follow clues from Dad's tattered journal andnewspaper clippings of supernatural occurrences across the country.Their travels often take them off-course, placing them firmly betweenthe cross-hares of evil. Battles with frighteningly familiar urbanlegends like the ghostly girl who hitch-hikes along a desolate stretchof highway, Bloody Mary and The Grim Reaper ensue each week, and we areintroduced to characters who are also ensnared in 'the hunt'. This is where my synopsis ends. You will have to check out the firstseason on DVD for any further revelations. Die-hard horror fans may notfind the series satisfies their love of gore, but those who appreciateserial tales of the supernatural on a PG-rated scale will enjoy themysteries that unfold each week. Supernatural offers moments of realsuspense, great visual effects, and a bit of humor to break thetension. The writers also manage to make you care about the charactersand the situations they are placed in, despite the other-worldliness ofthe plot. Brilliantly cast, female audiences will no doubt palpitate over thestrikingly handsome Jensen Ackles (Dean) and the boyish good looks ofJared Padalecki (Sam). Dean's the quintessential 'bad boy' with acheckered past, Sam's the sensitive 'boy next door' hiding a darksecret. Fans of Grey's Anatomy will appreciate Jeffrey Dean Morgan asJohn, Sam and Dean's father. Morgan's role requires real emotion, whichhe skillfully provides; he is adept at capturing sympathies as well ashearts. There is a soft ruggedness to his own physical beauty that addsbelievability to a character you may suspect is too young to play therole. The dynamic between the actors and their characters are true tothe material. Overall, Supernatural provides solid entertainment for the Buffy setand lovers of ghostly encounters. The show doesn't take itself tooseriously, and neither should audiences. It's not as dramatic or basedin reality as shows like 'Medium', but if it's reality your looking foryou should invest your time elsewhere without complaint. If you justappreciate Supernatural for what it is, you will be pleased. The showcombines elements of a good 'buddy' movie with lots of action and a fewfrights that even non-believers of ghosts can appreciate.

What the heck...?

I really don't know how on earth anyone enjoy watching this show...thisis nothing to even talk about. I can't stand a minute of the it. Thereis no storyline at all,i don't know how they have came up with too manydevil forces, but it's so damn fake. The special effects are not goodenough,every thing seems artificial and unreal...no connection is madewith the watcher.I really was expecting so much more, but i was leddown.I really enjoy more watching Vampire Diaries or EVEN Spartacusrather than Supernatural... . In this genre, there is a better optionlike Primeval...i don't know,in the second thought, maybe the problemis with the genre,not the show.

Borders on being a masterpiece, but gets dragged down by Lowest Common Denominator TV conventions and network interference.

Supernatural is a show about two young brothers who are monster huntersdetermined to kill anything that is supernatural. Sam and Dean aretheir names. They have been raised by their father alone since a veryyoung age, as their mother died under mysterious circumstances when Samwas just a baby. Their father was also a monster hunter, but he wasabsent much of the time, often leaving Dean, the older brother, to takecare of Sam all by himself.The format is schizophrenic. It is about 75% "Monster of the Week"show, aka "MOTW". What MOTW *really* means, is that the MOTW episodesare generic filler with no story in them, and they are "standalone"which means someone with zero knowledge of Supernatural would enjoythem (or not!) just as much as any long-term fans. MOTW is great forratings via "casual viewers" because there is no story or characterdevelopment in them. But for those who want a deep, compellingexperience and for the show to reach it's true potential, they areterrible. For any & every MOTW episode of Supernatural, which is mostof them, you can apply the following template/formula and the episodewill play out *exactly* as the template reads: You know some genericstrangers are going to die. You know Sam and/or Dean are gonna gettemporarily captured and/or roughed up a little. You know by the end ofthe episode the MOTW will be dead and Sam and Dean will be completelyunscathed by them by next week's episode.All the producers have to do is punch the name of the generic MOTW intothe template and they are done. This is made extremely easy for them todo since all the so-called "monsters" on the show actually look and act*exactly* like humans. That's great for saving money not having to useany makeup, prosthetics, or special FX, but it's terrible for creatingmemorable monsters. There is zero suspense in the MOTW episodes becauseyou know *exactly* what is going to happen before it even starts. Themonsters of the MOTW are all 100% interchangeable with each other, asare the episodes themselves. To be honest, the MOTW episodes ofSupernatural are total crap that have destroyed any chance ofSupernatural reaching it's full potential.The MOTW episodes are still watchable for two reasons: the excellentportrayals of Sam and Dean. The actors both do a phenomenal job everysingle time. They both deserve Emmys for every year they've performedon Supernatural. Their dialogue is very good, and often cleverlyhumorous. They are both extremely likable characters that you enjoywatching and rooting for. It's just a shame that the MOTW episodes givethem *nothing to do* other than repeat the same generictemplate/formula every episode.Then, there is the *great* side of Supernatural, the side that borderson masterpiece: story episodes. These are often referred to as"mythology episodes". The term "mythology episodes" was invented as apolite way to sweep-under-the-rug the fact that any episodes that are*not* story episodes are nothing but useless generic filler. By callingthe story episodes "mythology episodes", it undermines the value ofhaving or wanting story put into the show. To call them what they are -story episodes - would be to *acknowledge* that the vast majority ofthe episodes (the ones that are not "mythology episodes") have *nostory* in them. Admitting this is something that a fan may be reluctantto do, so the phrase "mythology episodes" is a convenient scapegoat toavoid being honest that the vast majority of the episodes have nostory.With the story episodes, Supernatural shines brilliantly. Thecharacters get developed in mesmerizing ways. Deep issues are explored.Earlier I said the brothers' job is to kill anything Supernatural, butthey will come upon situations in the story episodes where they have toquestion their own beliefs of if it is really a black-and-white andsimple as that. They will have to confront tough issues such as if anextreme hunter who hates monsters even more than they do is reallytheir ally, or enemy. They have to ask themselves if they want tobecome like him, or if he has taken their profession to too far of anextreme. Dean will have to confront his own fascinating emotionalissues that stem from not being raised in a normal household. Thesesorts of questions that crop-up in the story episodes explore thenature of life, death, and what it means to be human. They are TV atit's best. Tragically, such episodes play second-fiddle to the MOTWfiller episodes. Story episodes only get about 25% the screen-time.In Season 3, Supernatural jumped the shark. The network forced theproducer to add two useless token girl characters and give themcontracts be "regulars". Bela is the worst character in the history ofTV, and will always be hatefully-remembered as the piece-of-crap thatcaused Supernatural to go drastically downhill. She is inherentlyobnoxious in every possible way: her butt-ugly looks, her gratingvoice, her abysmally awful fake British accent, her whole cringe-worthydemeanour. Her groan-worthy lines. The way the brothers and everyone onSupernatural act like total idiots around her just for the sake ofkissing her butt so the producers can try to force love of her down thefans' throats against their will. She's not even a real actress. Shehad virtually *no qualifications* prior to being hired forSupernatural. To add insult to injury, paying the salaries of theseawful girl actresses caused the show to stop licensing amazing,mood-setting classic-rock songs that added immensely to the show in thefirst two Seasons.Supernatural had the potential to be the best TV show ever, but thatpotential got dragged down and severely-limited by the MOTWtemplate/formula and network interference forcing terrible token girlcharacters into the show.

How can you not love Sam and Dean?

Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are amazing. Its so easy to believethey are brothers. Dean in all his get in there, demon ass kicking,chick goggling and wise cracking is the perfect parallel tosweet-hearted younger yet strangely taller , vision getting puppy dogeyed, Sam. I am really interested in seeing how there issues with theredad will develop. The Vampire episode was good. It was interesting howboth brothers at some point spoke up to there dad.Sam who is SO muchtaller. After speaking up they swallowed hard and I could actuallybelieve theses were grown men still feeling like kids around dear olddaddy. This show is excellent and I can not wait to see what happensnext season!.

Hardy Boys + Kolchak: The Night Stalker + Blade

This is a series that is tailor made for....just about everyone. Forfans of mysteries, thrillers and especially science fiction/horror thisis a series that is well worth taking a look at. Also, since it is onthe WB, it is coated with eye candy for both genders.This is like the Hardy Boys and Kolchak: The Night Stalker rolled intoone, with a little bit of Blade thrown in for good measure.The series follows two brothers, who when they were very young (Sam 6months, Dean about 3 or 4) tragically lost their mother when she waskilled by a supernatural being. Their dad managed to save them and hemade it his life's work from that point on to hunt Supernatural beingsand try to find an explanation for what had happened. He also trainshis sons to do the same thing.The series picks up twenty three years later, with Sam at college andDean still hunting. However, there dad is missing and Dean wants Sam tohelp him look for him.

Brilliant show!

Supernatural is a story about two brothers who hunt & kill all sorts ofsupernatural beings such as demons, spirits & the likes. I have toadmit that, season 1 got a bit repetitive. However, season 2 onwardseach episode had a completely new theme. This show is very fast pacedand thrilling! You are anxiously waiting as to what's going to happennext. Jared Padalecki is perfect as Sam Winchester. Jensen Ackles isbrilliant as Dean Winchester. The supporting characters are effectiveas well. Ackles' character Dean, provides comic relief from time totime, which is a welcome break from all the spooks. Padalecki'scharacter Sam, on the other hand, is more intense, which gives the showmany emotional scenes. However, Supernatural is not just about ghosts,possessed people, demons & other supernatural creatures. It's alsoabout the love shared between Sam & Dean and how they will go to anylengths to protect each other. The background score by ChristopherLennertz & Jay Gruska is one of the high points of the show, as themusic in a horror/thriller show is extremely important. So, if you wantto spend an hour watching an incredible show, filled with horror,action, drama, comedy & the love shared between the Winchester family,then, Supernatural is just the show for you!

Just keeps getting better.

I got into this show when the show itself was well into its 2nd season,just because I thought the theme of the show was going to end up beinglame and childish. CW producing the show didn't help its firstimpression either, but after watching the pilot, I was hooked. Wellwritten scripts and very natural dialogues, well acted and thought outscenes has kept Supernatural on my "To Watch" list for few years now.Two brilliant Texan actors, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, hasmatured into true actors throughout the show, and unlike any otherprime time television series, it has kept its original characterchemistry and plot depth all these years, if not gotten better. Hope'Supernatural' can continue the success its had so far.

wicked series

Supernatural is by far the best series i have ever seen, i think it'soriginal, humorous and scary, it's by no means cheesy and that's alwaysa good thing, i'm a big fan of cult series about demons vampires andghosts, compared to Buffy the vampire slayer and charmed i thinksupernatural is better than both of them put together, Buffy became atad far fetched and charmed became too cheesy, more like a fantasy thana cult, but supernatural is still based on a real world where thingsthat people hear about that no one knows whether they really do ordon't exist do exist in this series, the story lines are always good, ihaven't watched a crap episode yet, and the banter between Dean and Samis always amusing, both of which are great characters, people comparesupernatural to the X-Files and say its a rip off, i disagree, its likethe X-Files in ways but is no means what so ever a rip off of it

Excting, fresh and scary!

I started watching Supernatural last year, the promo's looked soawesome I just said to myself "You HAVE to see that", and so I did andI haven't missed an episode since then. I remember how I stood by theedge of my seat during the whole Pilot, it was awesome, I've alwaysliked things involving horror and scary stories so this show was likeheaven sent, but don't get it wrong either Supernatural does have thescary factor but it also includes a lot about families and the problemsthat they go through, it has drama and even humor, let's just say ithas a little bit for everyone.Supernatural is an awesome show that I'm sure will have you on the edgeof your seat during an entire hour every week, horror, cute boys, rockand a kick ass car, how not to love it?

This show serves it's purpose, with grace!

Now this show is not without problems. I'll be the first to admit it.It's very basic premise and sometimes convenient plot turns are notlost on me. Two monster hunting brothers travel cross country andextinguish a different monster each week. Not too much on the originalside, I know. However, I can't help but watch this show every week witha fondness for my old junior high days. For those who don't know I wasa huge sci-if/horror geek in my younger years and I loved reading about"The Crazy Hook Man who kills Teenagers" or "The Ghost of the Lady inWhite". I ate those stories up, and apparently so did the show'screator. This show takes me back to the years before I learned whatcharacter arcs, and plot contrivances were. It strips that all away andjust lets me enjoy what it was like to hear ghost stories. What it waslike to get chills down my spine every time I rode down a dark road atnight expecting an apparition in white to appear. What it was like tocome so close to saying "Bloody Mary" to the mirror and then passingout. There is a likability to this show that can't be ignored, andthere's even some great moments with the two main characters Sam andDean (played quite well by Padalecki and Ackles) but it is thatnostalgic feeling above all that brings me back each week.

Love love love this show

I'm not happy with the way the boys have grown apart, but I still lovethe dynamic of the show and of the family element. This is one of myfavorite shows and I hope that they give us many more years. So happyfor the new season and can't wait for some great new episodes!! Thebrothers are the best part of the show and even though there are othercharacters that add to the story. I also love Bobby and think thatwithout him the brothers would be lost. One of the best things aboutthis show is the humor mixed in with the drama and action. I've alwaysliked shows that can mix all the elements together, making you filterthrough a whole array of emotions and still feel good about what youjust watched. If you haven't seen this show, give it a chance it willhook you and keep you reeled in. I came into the show on season 3 andalthough I want the brother's back together and their relationships tobe mended I love every episode they've put out.

Carry on me my wayward son, You'll be sad when it is gone!!

This show is and will always be AWESOME! It follows two brothers whofight demons and the likes. Back before it started, I saw thecommercial. I have to admit I thought that this was just another boringshow like "Ghost Whisperer". It 100% isn't. I got hooked. I watched itevery week. Nonstop every time of the day, I thought of new creaturesthat Sam & Dean could kill. I wrote these different essays about thisshow and about the creatures that are in this TV-Show. It is AMAZING!Oh and don't forget you have the Incredible Metallicar! BTW: OnFacebook become a member of the group " The Metallicar is better than aFerrari".I have to tell you this!: WATCH IT!

best show on TV

OK as i always say don't listen to the critics they never like anythinganyway always watch yourself and make up your own mind.I have beenwatching this show since it started 7 years ago and each series isbetter than the next,the characters/the plots/the running story's aresuperb the mix of horror and fantasy will keep you on the edge of yourseat and waiting for the next episode.For anyone who likes this kind ofthing this is not to be missed.there are many TV series on TV that aresimilar to this show but have not hit the mark like supernatural has ithas been running for 7 seasons and has potential for many more.So ifyou like fantasy,horror,a bit of humour then this show should not bemissed.

Pretty boys, the occult - what's not to love?

This show kicks ass. Thematically it does borrow from the X-Files andBuffy more than a bit, but it's well worth watching in its own right.Ackles and Padalecki are easy on the eyes (read: hot), and Ackles inparticular is doing a great job in the acting department. Thesecharacters were written for them and it shows. There are some plotholes (some episodes are worse than others in that regard) but thedialog is sharp and funny and the overall arc dynamic and interesting.Guest stars vary from mildly annoying to excellent (Angel's Amy Ackerwas pretty good in the second episode, Loretta Devine was great in theninth) but don't take away too much from the enjoyment of the show. Ilook forward to spending many more hours in the company of theWinchester brothers!
