Summary: Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki as Dean and Sam Winchester, two brothers who travel the country looking for their missing father and battling evil spirits along the way.

Sam Winchester is a college student bound for law school, determined to escape his family's past - unlike his older brother, Dean. Ever since theySupernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki as Dean and Sam Winchester, two brothers who travel the country looking for their missing father and battling evil spirits along the way.

Sam Winchester is a college student bound for law school, determined to escape his family's past - unlike his older brother, Dean. Ever since they were little their father has been consumed with an obsession to find the evil forces that murdered his beloved wife, in result recruiting and training his two young sons to help him in revenge. They have grown up as hunters of the supernatural. Sam escaped under the premise of going to college, and now has a happy life with his girlfriend, Jessica, and a promising future career. Dean, however, stayed behind with his father to join him in his "hunting".

Dean goes to Sam for help when their father goes missing. Now Sam must join his brother to find him. His one weekend trip to search for the missing John Winchester becomes an ongoing quest after a horrible tragedy ruins any thought of a happy life for Sam.

The two brothers, bound by tragedy and blood to their mission, travel across the country encountering terrifying and dangerous forces most believe to be nothing but superstition and folklore, such as the Lady in White, the Indian beast known as the Wendigo, Phantom Travelers who cause plane crashes, Bloody Mary, vampires, demons and many more.

People Weekly

Tom Gliatto

Season 1 Review: The 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]

Still getting to know the characters in theFor the celebration of the fact that Finale Season 15 has been announced, I feel obligated as a part of the Supernatural fanbase to give my views of this amazing and imaginatively satisfying Lore based series that is still going strong in 2019.

Still getting to know the characters in the first season I implore anyone who is yet too see this show to give your time and watch the first season and enjoy some of the best written versions of popular myths and lore we have all heard and loved, coupled with some believable Brotherly dynamics I have seen portrayed on screen. From Wendigos to Demons to Werewolves to Vampires the Winchesters tackle every lore I have come across and some wholly original writing has made this show one of the best Fantasy Horror series in the last decade and a half.

I am glad this celebrated show is a part of my life and just like the on screen and off screen characters being a part of it's ups and downs.

Keep it up Guys !!!… Expand

I may have to come back to this post once it finally ends this Autumn. After all, endings can be hard but can also be the most rewarding. Supernatural has come along way from its grounded roots in horror and has tippped its toes in many genre's over the years including comedy, sci-fi, drama etc. The heart of the show is its cast and without Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, Supernatural would not have become what it is. Their chemistry shines throughout most of the stellar episodes and can even make the rare bad episode fun. The supporting cast should get an honorable mention to the shows longevity. Misha Collins inclusion as Castiel in Season 4 brought a new sense of life to the series similar to Danny Devitos inclusion in 'It's always sunny in philadelphia'. From the monster of the week episodes to the overall mythology of Gods, Angels, Demons and everything in between Supernatural can leave the audience with a laundry list of emotions. Some good, some bad but all deserved in the end. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a show thats not afraid to make fun of itself. If you are a fan of nineties tv shows like 'The X-files', 'Buffy the vampire slayer' or more recent shows like 'American horror story' and netflixs 'Dark' then you should give Supernatural a shot.… Expand

"“House rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.” Great series with some very tangible characters. Lots of pulls from actual lore,relgion,fantasy and all sorts of background. Found myself hitting up wikipedia and seeing how much was based on "real stories".

Not"“House rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.” Great series with some very tangible characters. Lots of pulls from actual lore,relgion,fantasy and all sorts of background. Found myself hitting up wikipedia and seeing how much was based on "real stories".

Not accurate; but almost all had a base. Reminds me of the Dan Brown style of storytelling a bit.

The good:
-Ton of stories, content, old legends, gods, lore, etc... Just a monster ball of stuff to find out.

-Ghostfacers! some of my favorite episodes. -Some of the ideas and show changes were pure genius. Some worked; others didnt; but they would take huge swings at changing the entire "world" they setup. Anything from dropping main character in a world were they are actors on a show called supernatural (something something thirdwall) to trips back in time. Loved the boldness of trying these out. -Techie awkward redhead was an awesome character (Kathryn Felicia Day)!

The Bad:
-Some of the seasons were meh towards end (but expected with 15 seasons, they ran out of stuff to write about)

-The best stories had some of the worse effects and screening; during the first seasons. Could tell they were on a small budget.

-Drama scenes get a bit tiring and over-used.… Expand

I don't get offended easily but to be honest the finale was just insulting, I mean i'm agnostic but i still found it offensive and it's not just for religious reasons either it's so illogical and stupid. but the reason why the show is insulting is cause of the last season, for the lastI don't get offended easily but to be honest the finale was just insulting, I mean i'm agnostic but i still found it offensive and it's not just for religious reasons either it's so illogical and stupid. but the reason why the show is insulting is cause of the last season, for the last seasons they made God the "bad guy" and some how sam and dean still won :| and how they won is actually the worst piece of writing i've ever seen anywhere, also everyone else predicted what was going to happen when season 15 started. but the reasons why it's just plain illogical is cause in episode 19 when sam and dean where trying to "stop" God, the writers made it seem like God didn't know about anything that was going on and made him seem like he was completely defenseless and was like any other monster sam and dean faced even tho they used the christian God and he's omnipotent and they still made him do nothing even tho he knows the future, can wipe out sam and dean from anywhere instantly, get rid of jack instantly but they did none of that. The whole episode just didn't feel right, it felt like one of those fake episodes that happen before the real finale (the real finale was just as bad to). jack absorbing the "power" from God and God not knowing what was going to happen and God trying to lure sam and dean out with lucifer and michael when God could've just teleported them out of the men of letters bunker, jack not bringing cas back when he "became" God was just so stupid. There's just so much wrong here its insane , hopefully they fix it with the prequel and turns out that God just let them do all of that and they never actually "defeated" him.… Expand
