Waiting for more.

Nicely written, stylishly filmed, borrowing from urban legend and thestock baddies of countless B and teen horror flicks.The boys themselves provide one level of tension, the straightforwardsibling rivalry, uniting in the face of evil. They share a commonhistory, obviously, but the fact that they've been apart for a while atthe beginning of the series allows for their to be differences inperspective on issues etc.Like Cancerman in X-Files the father is there, in the background,keeping us wondering what his big secret is. There are hints ofsupernatural activity all around, just under the veneer of 'normal'that we're used to and by not having towns over run by zombies,vampires and random demons we don't have to do too much suspending ofdisbelief.I'm thoroughly enjoying the series and looking forward (hoping) there'sa series 2. And 3. And that they don't decide to go all Buffy on uslater ;)

Supernatural

Is a good show with potential to be better if given a chance. Thecharacters definitely play well against each other, there's goodchemistry there. The idea of taking urban legends and myths of smalltowns is well done, and with a little more effort from the writers,this show could become top notch. The actors are very good, and thescenes are pretty authentic.The story of two brothers in search of their father, in search ofmonsters/ghosts and things that go bump in the night, and at the sametime in search of themselves is a good ploy. Not to mention, these guyshaven't seen each other for years and now need to do some catch up. Youcan sense the different worlds they grew up in, as sometimes they havea difficult time in relating to each other. One will mention somethingthat will totally go over the other's head. Different pasts.Supernatural is definitely not a time waster, and a heck of a lotbetter than most of the shows on TV right now.

A great show

I personally think that this show is great. At first I was skeptical towhether or not it would be good. So I procrastinated a bit beforefinally deciding to watch the second season. At first I was totallylost, but I quickly caught on. I even bought the first season because Ilove the show so much. It has some scary parts, that had me covering myeyes and squirming. But there were other parts where I was laughing mybutt off. Dean is very sarcastic, and Sam very sweet, which mixedtogether makes them hilarious. If I can handle some of the scary parts,then I'm sure you can, also. I wouldn't recommend this show for anyone12 or under, though. Over-all, Supernatural truly is my favorite show,so if you want my opinion, you should totally watch this show. Hope youdon't scare easily! ;-)

Possibly the best horror show out there right now..

I am going to keep my review short and simple.Supernatural is an excellent television series. As stated by otherreviewers below me, the cast is all excellent, especially the two mainleads.I have seen all of the episodes for the first three seasons, and I canverily say that every episode has been entertaining and fun; the mainleads, as well as the supporting cast, bring a lot of enthusiasm totheir roles. To be sure, what makes the show stand out head and aboveother shows is the chemistry between the two main leads; they are thecoolest and the hippest television characters I have seen in sometime...they know how to bring to their roles in equal measures theintensity and humor with such natural grace and ease that it is apleasure to watch. Likewise, all of the supporting cast and guests areall interesting and very good.Also, the production value is excellent: check out the sets and specialeffects in every episode...one can clearly appreciate the fact thatmuch care and love went into the creation of each and every episode.Finally, the writing is excellent: smart plots and dialogue. One canclearly tell that the creators of this excellent show are fans of notjust the horror genre, but all genres.In short, my highest recommendation possible.

Oh my god is all I have to say.

I think it is awesome but of course I'm not the only one who thinksthat. Not to mention the two hottest smartest men in the world are init. OK people I'm sorry but Jared Padalecki is a better person inSupernatural and in real life. Anyways I think people should watch itespecially if you like scary sad movies because this would top it. Ohand for the people who don't know what time and channel it comes on its9:00pm on Tuesdays and channel wb11. I also think you should watch itbecause it keeps you in suspense. There is so much more to it too. Ohand for all you Gilmore Girl fans it comes on an hour beforesupernatural, and I know a lot of people like Gilmore Girls andsupernatural. Oh and it is so great because after the credits you getto see what's on next Tuesday and it makes you want the day to come sobad.

Where's it going?

Okey Dokey, another groupie here. I admit to being a Dean girl, not aSam girl or a Dean/Sam girl (am I the only one who that phrase throwsup certain 'images' for?) Although I do think that season six lost someof its 'feel'.The weekly episodes just didn't seem to have that usual kick. Don't getme wrong, there was still a few memorable ones and the dialogue isstill classic (Dean being abducted by aliens 'THEY'RE AFTER ME!' Sam'Third kind already? Better run man, I think the fourth kind is a buttthing') But I do admit to feeling apprehensive to the way the storyline is progressing.Castiel god? Can't really top that fight. And with two more seasonsbeing picked up by the network, hmmmmmmmmmmmm........ certainly will beinteresting to see where it goes. (Mind you, is he really THE God, wealready know about the existence of lesser gods - season five 'Hammerof the Gods') And what about some of the loose ends? i.e Chuck,Fairies, Jesse?My one biggest fear is that the whole of Supernatural will end byfizzing out - loosing it's oomph and ideas. I hope I'm wrong, but Ithink we got a slight taste of that in series six. Supernatural is a series that deserves to end on a high, give the fanswhat they wan't, and for god's sake, let Sam and Dean have some peace!

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I'm obsessed!!!

This is the best show EVER!!! It's got funny parts between Dean andSam, and still it has it's scary parts! It's not like any otherprogram, it's never boring and it's always great to watch, whatevermood your in! It certainly is frightening, but it's not like a wannabehorror program, if I can call it that... It's seriously the BESTprogram on earth, if you like scary movies and can't get enough of it,this is the program for you!! Not to mention my two hot Winchesterbrothers!=D I first saw Jensen Ackles's talent in Smallville and Ithought "I want to see more of this guy!" Because he's such an amazingactor, and he seems like a great guy!! In the show he's kind of a badboy, while his brother Sam is more of a "softy" but he has his outragessometimes too, it so cool because those two kinda balance each other.And the whole story is great too! Excellent show!!!!!

great show, yet...

I really enjoyed this series, with few exceptions (some episodes werejust drawing out the time, going astray from the main story that keptyou hooked). The 4th and fifth seasons were particularly awesome. Now with the last episode from the fifth season they had completed thestory and made it round, perfect. I had a definite sense of closure,everything added up just great. Then they had to give in to ratings andall that and renew the series. Consequently they managed to turn itinto a worthless, repetitive, indigestible, even laughable piece ofwork. I don't know what's with these American producers, they just don't knowwhen to stop! I guess it's all about the money...

Angelboreanaz89 (2012-05-20 23:05)

Beautiful, an absolute masterpiece

The show starts great from episode one and only gets better. Sam andDean are two brothers on a quest to find their dad and answers. Alongthe way they meet various people who need their help. In Pilot theywere made to battle a woman in white. In that episode we wereintroduced to the main characters of the series and what they've beenup to since the time Sam and Dean's mother died to the hands ofsomething still unknown. The two brother's are reunited after whatappears to be a long time.Dean is the cooler and more sarcastic one of the two. He's followed thepath of his father in the hunt for finding his mother's killer. Sam isthe brother who went to college and wanted to have a normal life.There are only two complaints I have for this show. The 1st is that theplay to many re-runs. The 2nd is only the single episode of Bugs. Ifyou can get passed these two things, I would recommend this show.

Just the good old boys (hunting evil)

Supernatural features some of the most comical entertainment on The CW.The dialog is downright hilarious at times. Not the usual cup-of teafor the "teeny bopper" geared network, yet appealing to the genre atthe same time. (Although more than just teenagers are sure to enjoy.)Story lines cover some of the most outlandishly popular spook storiesyou heard growing up, but put a fresh spin on things.Two (gorgeous) brothers travel across the nation fighting the evils ofthe usual suspects- demons, spirits, shape shifters. Yet, every now andthen writers throw bloody Mary or evil killer clowns into the line-up.Not typical of The WB's past supernatural geared series since theseboys have 'everyday guy' characteristics rather than the squeaky clean"life is so precious" outlook. They throw back a few beers at the bar,drive a chrome polished muscle car, and sometimes get inappropriatewhen chatting up a good looking lady or at least Dean does. Sam'scharacter is more of the get down to business, I wear my heart on mysleeve, smart guy.Their mother was claimed by 'something' when they were young whichbegan the Winchester tradition of hunting down evil SOB's. (So, goodlooks aren't the only thing that run in this family.) Now picking upwhere their father left off, the boys travel near and far hoping thatwhile ridding the world of the supernatural, something will bring themcloser to explaining their loved ones' fate. All the while possiblydiscovering what their own destiny holds.All I have to say is, when are the Winchester boys headed toPennsylvania? Cause I sure would like to join the team.

Supernatural wicked and totally uplifting

With the premiere of the first episode of Supernatural my friend wasall excited and trilled of the Hot guys on the show, i thought tomyself, (oh no, not those lack of plots boring shows again.) Though atthe end of the day the eagerness of my friend got the better end of meand when i switched it on, boy was i hopelessly falling for the show,the myths, demons, childhood spooks, the amusing brother relationshipand of course Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki.* And all too soon wasi wrapped up on the journey with them, with their witty remarks,hilarious looks and moments when being beaten up on a problem. This isthe show that leaves you craving for more. And if you got sick of LOSTleaving you down the hatch, don't worry, Supernatural solves things!And now that the second Season is up, i feel so energized and pumped,with a lot of fun and uproarious moments you have to be tuning intoSUPERNATURAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great trio of opening seasons, then hits obstacles

If I could break this down, I would rate the first three seasons at avery healthy 8 or 9, with the last two seasons averaging at a 5bringing the total score down. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles aretwo polar opposite brothers thrown together in the hunt for assortedmonsters and demons when their "hunter" dad goes missing in Season 1while on the hunt for the yellow-eyed demon responsible for the deathof the boys' mother many years before. Along with the search for thefather, each episode would feature the guys either being fed tips byother hunters or locating clues themselves to supernatural phenomena invarious towns wherein they would attempt to determine the cause anderadicate it. Part of the interest was in seeing what new beast orspecter would be the villain for the week and how the guys would pooltheir resources (with the help of guest stars and recurring characters)to defeat the evil being. Padalecki and Ackles shared a nice pricklychemistry and proved to be adept at action, drama and comedy, as thematerial called for it. Despite sometimes being gruesome, the earlyepisodes were reliably scary, fun and imaginative. Unfortunatelystarting in the fourth season, the tone and quality became jarringlydifferent. The creators altered the focus away from demons andcreatures of the night and started utilizing the mythos ofJudeo-Christianity rapture fanatics to the point where it became thefocus of nearly every episode. The result - with Lucifer and variousangels making weekly appearances - has been humorless, depressing andsolemn to the nth degree. Every third or fourth episode, the creatorswill throw in a fun non-angel/rapture-centric one that will remindviewers of why they originally loved the show, but it is getting to notbe enough. The dialog between the brothers usually now goes along thelines of "I can't trust you!","Yes, you can!", "No, I can't" and soforth - just alternate the brother saying it. More often than not,Ackles and Padalecki face each other with pained expressions like theyare suffering gastric discomfort or a stubbed toe, while mouthing thesame angsty platitudes back and forth. Recurring characters from theopening seasons have by and large been killed off with little fanfareand replaced by utterly pointless characters. Misha Collins is gravelybeautiful, but utterly pointless as a rogue angel added to the cast tobasically unveil nonsensical exposition in as unexpressive a way aspossible, while occasionally he gets an alternate universe episodewhere he gets to do comedy by showing an emotion. The show has a majorproblem writing recurring female characters as well - they usually endup dead or insufferable (or both). Alona Tal and Samantha Ferris faredbest, but then they were all but forgotten after Season 2 and then onlybrought back in the latest season to be offed. The less said about thesnotty British con artist the better. Katie Cassidy'sis-she-or-isn't-she-good demon Ruby was adequate at best, and thenreplaced by the laughable Genevieve Cortese in the same role.Supposedly this last season bids adieu to the rapture lunacy that hasclipped the show's wings and grounded it in angst and bleakness, so ithas the potential to return to some of its better days, but only timewill tell.

stop cutting it down and think!

This show is not perfect. Nothing is. But it is about as near as youcan get...all through the first season we had Sam and Dean-who bothplay difficult parts and do it pretty damn well- and the whole monsterof the week storyline which set the scene and I think really worked. Itshowed them dealing equally with the monsters and their own feelings,as well as the family saga idea. The plots thickened in the secondseason where we had the sense of a real epic battle coming, far fewermonster of the week episodes and those that were there were usuallyconnected somehow. I have to say I didn't like season 3 so much,through an old prejudice that it didn't feature Sam so much although itwas a really good season, but in season 4 the old spooky horror stuffwas widened into a huge field of good vs evil, angel and devils andnone of that angels are unconditionally good rubbish-I'm a Christianand I can still say that. In season 5 we went into the apocalypse whichwasn't that well done but you can see why-they were still in its earlydays and there was still a chance to stop it, effectively. The thingthat got me about this season was how all the plot lines were tied upand even just Sam and Dean's brotherly relationship was put into thecontext of the age old Michael-Lucifer battle. I call that the end of astory and started again with season 6...which I will reserve judgementon for now. Basically the makers of Supernatural have mixed horror,emotion, the awesomeness of the epic apocalypse struggle, and based itall around two characters who by this point ARE their roles and perfectfor them. They weren't chosen for looks-Jared Padalecki portrays'college- boy, sweet kid with an evil destiny turned harder anddesperate by the pain of his world' Sam Winchester to the point ofperfection, and Jensen Ackles is great as Dean too though I'm not goingto obsess over him-sorry, Deangirls. Looking back at season 1 in thecontext of all that has happened since is amazing. This show has becomea really big part of my life and I don't get how people that are OKwith horror and sci-fi can think it lacking. It has everything. Theoriginal idea was fascinating, dark and creepy, and they blew it all upinto something absolutely mind blowing. How can you go from ghosts anddemons to the rise of the devil? It's not something just anyone coulddo. Looking at it objectively it is an amazing piece of film andstorytelling and it's like nothing I have ever seen before.

Series started slowly...

If I was to rate the first few seasons, I would rate them a 6 or so.Its only in the last season that the series has really taken off. WhileI was hoping for the whole angel storyline to have the angels acting alittle bit more Christian then they seem to be acting...it still makesa for a good show. 8/10, and it seems to be getting better! The firstfew seasons were slow, in fact the first season I would only give a5/10. Each season seems to build and get better as actors and dramaseries typically do.Jared P. does a fantastic acting job, and if these guys continue tobuild a large cult following then perhaps we can be looking at a moviedown the line!

This show doesn't screw around, it jumps head-long into its supernatural themes and embraces them wholeheartedly

A lot of other shows try not to go "too far" with their supernaturalcontent to stay realistic, but that only makes you notice the stuffthat's completely unrealistic and harms your enjoyment. Supernatural isthe kind of show that doesn't pussy-foot around its "make-believe"content. It takes for granted that YOU are going to believe the stuffthat happens in each episode could very well be happening right now,and it's a much better show for it. This is precisely why I love theshow.It jumps head-long into its supernatural themes and embraces themwholeheartedly. I've watched shows like Medium and shows similar to it,and I often find myself "reviewing" the episode as I watch it, ratherthan simply enjoying it. "This is totally unrealistic, stuff like thatwould never happen.", "Man, this psychic ghost-talking mambo jumbo isBS", and so on. Supernatural has stumbled once or twice but NOT becauseof the Supernatural themes. You don't question the validity of what'sgoing on because you're not focusing on how realistic the show is,you're focusing on the story and characters while they live their livesas hunters of the supernatural.So if you like a good horror/thriller with supernatural themes, youshould be chasing up Supernatural. I know I will be, for as long as theshow is on the air.

Excellent fantasy series if you are sick of regular "In the end everything is the best you could imagine" series.

This is a very nice series, I have seen the first 4th episodes and ican't wait to see the next ones.I little about the series now - without telling too much. The seriesstarts with a big tragedy to a family with two sons, this tragedy makesthe father spend the rest - at least this far - of his life "hunting"supernatural/unnatural things. And his sons is of course interested intheir fathers "job" so they go in his footsteps at least until theyoungest of them gets in to college where everything is going gooduntil one night when the older brother comes on a visit. The olderbrother says that the father has been gone for three weeks "hunting"and he haven't heard anything from him during this time.And it's pretty much now the series start, the brothers have some kindof supernatural creatures they hunt while they is searching for theirfather. The most wonderful of this is that it doesn't have endings thatyou could imagine! It doesn't have to be and ending when the hero getshis girl and saves everybody and I for one love that.

Why Supernatural is so very cool

I've been watching Supernatural since the very first episode and I lovethis show. The use of great music is right on with the feel of theshow. I thought the show would be really good from the previews of it.I just didn't know how good. The writing is excellent. The cast isstellar. The story lines are really cool.If you enjoyed The X Files as much as I did you'll enjoy this show. Atfirst it looked liked just a freak of the week type of show. Like itwould only be about what the Winchester boys were hunting. It turnedout to have an excellent central story line that looks like it could goon for a while. The show also has a great sense of humor that is muchin-tune with my own sense of humor. So I highly recommend this show toanyone.

Really enjoyable spooky, freaky funfest!

Having been a huge fan of Angel and Afterlife I am always on thelookout for new Supernatural mystery programmes with great stories andblack humour. I watched Charmed and Ghost Whisperer but found both tobe rather soft and not quite as gritty as I was hoping, then along cameSupernatural, the stories are original, the chemistry and banterbetween Sam and Dean is totally believable of two brothers and the factthat they are both human makes it easy to watch without comparing it toother shows such as Buffy and Charmed, I also feel that this is one ofthe first shows of it's kind that it aimed at an older audiencetherefore making it more frightening and edgy than anything that hasgone before. I think that it more than capable of replacing any othersupernatural shows that people may be missing, and having two leadingmen that are both quite yummy also helps....
