Supernatural Sam and Dean looking curious
Summary Despite finishing four years ago, Supernatural still ranks as one of the most beloved, long-lasting, and enduringly popular series in The CW's history. Following the Winchester brothers as they take on a smorgasbord of spooky phenomena, Supernatural ran for 15 seasons – each of which enjoyed near-universal critical acclaim – and featured storylines focusing on God, Lucifer, and everything in between.
7 Supernatural Is Much Scarier Than I Was Expecting It Emphasizes The Horror Close Given Supernatural's status as a made-for-TV fantasy thriller, I was expecting it to be an entertaining, yet fundamentally unscary viewing experience. Here, I was mistaken. The show features some incredibly effective chills, with its horror evolving as the show progresses.
6 Supernatural Has Distinctive Eras The Show Clearly Changes Through Time Although every season of Supernatural has its strengths and weaknesses, a key takeaway for any first-time viewer is that the show has clearly defined eras. Seasons 1-5, for example, which are overseen by original creator Eric Kripke, embrace the show's horror roots. While there are broader story arcs , they are balanced against the need for self-contained stories.
The show's success can be attributed to the ingenious combination of "monster-of-the-week" stories popularized by the likes of Doctor Who and The X Files, with urban legends and mythology with which everyone is familiar. While sci-fi shows can feel completely fictional, Supernatural has such a basis in common cultural heritage that it always feels grounded – even when the Winchesters are fighting demons and ghosts.
The show is arguably at its weakest when its stories begin to feel stale and repetitive. Particularly when watching multiple installments in one sitting, it was notable in season 1 that the main mission of finding Sam and Dean's dad seemed to fall by the wayside, aside from a cursory mention at the start of an episode.
2 Supernatural's Supporting Characters Are The Real Stars Sam And Dean Soon Take A Backseat Close In early seasons, Sam and Dean Winchester are the undisputed stars of Supernatural. However, although they remain center-stage throughout, other characters steal the spotlight as the seasons progress. The first of these is Bobby Singer, who despite being initially intended to play a peripheral role, soon became an indispensable part of the line-up.
