88The series' grim tone and overall look of a grimy world in perpetual need of dusting or wiping is a long way from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and closer to Japanese movies like The Grudge. [12 Sep 2005, p.45]
-
80This creepy storytelling carries extra punch because the drama has an excellent, easy-to-root-for cast.
-
80Padalecki and Ackles are hunky, funny and a joy to watch.
-
80It's likely to startle you the way no show has since The X-Files.
-
80"Supernatural" is unlike anything else out there and should build a following among viewers who appreciate its combination of spooky mythology and mystery adventure.
-
80A creepy, atmospheric, sometimes downright scary hour of TV.
-
75Ackles and Padalecki are good-looking, yes, get to drive a '67 Chevy and will undoubtedly run into a lot of really hot women in peril, but "Supernatural" works. It's just serious enough, just hip enough and, as advertised, more scary than imagined.
-
75Of all the season's new dark-arts adventures, WB's aptly if generically named Supernatural may be the simplest and the scariest.... It wants nothing more than to frighten you -- and tonight, it does.
-
70A loud, believably unbelievable ghost story, a different ghost from classic lore guest-starring each week.
-
70"Supernatural" plays like a high-octane B-flick. You could be mildly ashamed at how much you like it.
-
70It's a romp and a half.
-
70It is a well-made little show of horrors that's likely to scare and thrill its target audience.
-
60There isn't much in "Supernatural" to engage viewers older than Sam and Dean, but it's certainly not the worst of the new troop of spookers.
-
50The stars are appealing WB veterans, but it is hard to believe that subsequent episodes will carry the same edge as the premiere. "Supernatural" is not "The Sixth Sense," it's "Ghostbusters' Creek."
-
50The creep factor runs high, and it had better in a series called "Supernatural." But the series also has its overly familiar and just-plain-silly moments.
-
40A perfectly serviceable if not particularly inspired bumper.
-
38Leaden, predictable and, at times, unintentionally funny.
-
30Genre fans used to the emotional depth and extraordinary storytelling of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" will find that this show is not even remotely in "Buffy's" or "Angel's" league.
-
30As unimaginative as its title.
-
30As flat and robotic as the show may be, a teen "X-Files" meets "Red Eye" is likely to pull in high ratings.
-
Supernatural's shortcomings could have been mitigated were its plotlines authentically scary.
-
20These brothers are like most WB stars and starlets, pretty faces with negligible theatrical skills.
