I watched this show from the very first episode because its premise caught my attention and was pleasantly surprised by just how good it turned out to be. The two actors who play the Winchester brothers play very well off of one another and have great chemistry. Jensen Ackles, who plays the older brother is really the break out star of this show as his performances are outstanding. On the surface he appears to be little more than the smart ass big brother who simply wants to hunt down and destroy any supernatural creature he possibly can. It doesn't take long for us to see that Sam (the youngest) is not the only compassionate brother. They both want to find their father and avenge their mother's death as well as help others along the way. Add the character of the father to the mix and things get even more interesting. This show is not just about two demon-hunting brothers. It also skillfully explores the complicated relationship not only between the brothers, but between the brothers and their father as well. Supernatural only gets better and better as the season progresses and has become much more than just a monster of the week show. Every episode has wonderful, witty dialogue and unlike some other 'generic' horror/sci-fi shows targeted at younger audiences, Supernatural purposely tries to be different and to stand out from the crowd (and succeeds). By the end of this first season, I was completely enthralled by the storylines and looked forward to the show every week. The action only gets better and better until the season finale that leaves you wondering, what are the Winchesters going to do next and how will they possibly top this in season 2?Read full review
Supernatural is a great show in my opinion. Sam and Dean are two brothers that you actually get into whats going on with their lives in the show. Driving around in a classic muscle car, killing a different monster each week, with some big bad always looming in the shadows of each season. The writing is good as well as the plots. Lots of interesting takes on classic monsters and plenty of new, unique baddies as well. A little sy fy mixed with some magic, occult, monsters, sibling rivalry, and Americana. Great supporting cast as well. I give the first season an A-.

If you're a fan of good tv featuring "things that go bump in the night", then Supernatural is for you. Season two had just began when I started watching the show, and I quickly became hooked. I had to purchase season one to catch up on the backstories. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles play Sam and Dean Winchester, estranged brothers brought together again by the disappearance of their demon-hunting father. As the search for their dad deepens, the supernatural experiences they encounter bring them closer together as Dean, who has assisted his father for years, helps Sam come to grips with the realization that this is the path he is meant to follow. The two are in stark, but perfect contrast to each other: big brother Dean's wise-cracking, hard as nails, black and white persona is offset by Sam's sensitivity and systematic approach to the situations they encounter. We see time after time that the brothers' greatest weakness, the love of family, proves also to be their greatest strength. As for the multitudes of ghoulies and ghosties the two must face along the way, we see old urban legends (Bloody Mary, Hook Man) brought to fascinating new life, along with the series' own macabre creations of terror. As Dean and Sam cruise the highways, searching for their father while battling evil, you'll be glad you came along for the ride.Read full review
Supernatural is a show about two brothers who hunt various demons and other monsters on the back roads and small towns of the country in an attempt to locate and kill the "Yellow-eyed Demon" who murdered their mother. That's the show in a nutshell. If you're already a fan of the show, then you can stop reading now. If you have never seen the show, then trust me when I say this is one of the better shows on television. The show begins with Sam and Dean Winchester trying to locate their father, John, who has gone missing while on a "hunting" trip. What John was "hunting" wasn't an animal but the demon who murdered his wife. They figure if they continue the "family business," they'll eventually locate their father. The different hunts take them through various small towns battling demons and urban legends. This show takes what could have been easily a monster of the week premise and crafts its own rich mythology. Once you get into the show you'll understand the purpose of the Colt and it's mysterious 13 bullets, a shotgun that fires rock salt, and what happened on November 2, 1983. They consistently come up with new takes on old legends such as Bloody Mary, Hook Man, and Route 666. They also understand just how far out the material is and somehow they don't take themselves too seriously. The relationship between Sam and Dean is exactly what you would expect from a dysfunctional family that has been hunting demons for over 20 years. The actors (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) play perfectly off of each other and a person could actually believe they were brothers. You can tell when they're being playful as well as when they're getting on each others' nerves just like a real family. The grounded realism their relationship brings is one of the keys to the show. That plus the truckload of weapons that they carry in the 1967 Chevy Impala just to deal with said demons. All to a soundtrack of 80's rock. For you technical ones, this is the first season of the show and the set contains the first 22 episodes of the series on 6 discs showing a 1.78:1 aspect ratio, with English (2.0 Dolby Digital) language and multiple language subtitles. The extras contain deleted scenes, audio commentary from cast and crew, easter eggs, photo gallery and a couple of fluff featurettes. If you're a fan of horror movies and/or the buddy cop genre, then you should enjoy this series. Once you get into this series you'll be hooked. (Pun definitely intended) I highly recommend this series and I think that you'll enjoy it as well.Read full review
Although I'am probably best known for my Resident Evil Reviews i do like other things to one of the main things i like on T.V at the moment is Supernatural. Becuase hear in the U.K there is very little good Television and most of the good shows come from the U.S.A and this is no exception. Although some but not all episodes are scary that dosn't stop this being great entertainment its funny,emointal and action packed aswell as the odd scary bit now and then. For me the best episodes are the Benders,Bloody Mary, the Pilot and for a real scare Provenence and in my opinon the best Faith. All the episodes range from good to great and you can watch them agian and agian with out getting bored. The main charecters Sam and Dean Winchester are very in depth and went you think you've got them figured out somthing unexpected happens. The story is laid through all the episodes all the way to the nail bitting final The Actors play of one another exelently both the Whinchester Brothers and there Dad as well as the Evil Meg who shows up in some of the episodes as well as Bobby singer who only stars in the last episode but becomes more promonent in the second Serise. Its great for fans of Horror and mystery an in my opinion far better than the X-Files since i had to buy both volume one the first 11 episodes and the second volume the last 11 episodes which cost around thirty pound each which is sixty pounds in English money which is about $100 dollars i would recomend this Dvd Set to any one as you get all the great episodes for a fraction of the price. Thanks for reading David.Read full review
For anyone who shyed away from Buffy because of the teenager angle this show is for you. Supernatural is about 2 brothers who take up their father's fight against evil supernatural forces. The episodes in season 1 primarily deal with American folklore. Most of us know the stories of the escaped crimial with a hook instead of a hand or the tale of Blood Mary. This show retells those classics with a fresh spin. The show doesn't rely too heavily on special effects which is a good thing. Most TV shows, especially those on smaller networks cannot pull off big budget effects. Most every effect on Supernatural is done well, instead of overshadowing the story it aids in the telling. Any good TV show lives or dies with it's actors abilities to make the viewer believe what they are watching. On a sci-fi type show this is even more important because the material is outside of the normal, everyday experience. Whoever cast the two brothers on the show deserves an A+. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki are completely believable as brothers and demon hunters. In many review I've seen Jensen receives the accolades while Jared is referred to as just being there. This is unfortunate and misguiuded in my opinion. Jensen's character Dean gets most of the good dialogue while Jared is the more understated, down to earth younger brother Sam. Like the main characters the guest stars are very well done. From the father to the bad guys and every secondary character, the actors do a magnificent job. Fans of sci-fi/fantasy shows will recognize many of the guest actors in season 1 episodes of Supernatural. If you are looking for a show with great writing and acting with a mix of sci-fi and horror this is definitely for you. Each episode is a mini thriller with just enough humor and sibling rivalry thrown in to round out the story.Read full review
In fall of 2005 when the new television line-up was paraded out for all to see an overlying theme was prevalent in several new shows: horror. Surprisingly, the new genre has produced some of the most entertaining television in years. The WB, a fledgling network in comparison to its older siblings, has launched a television show that not only embodies the spirit of this new horror fascination, its very title defines the current obsession dominating the entertainment industry: Supernatural. America’s newest preoccupation with death, life after death, and in general all things spooky have produced some pretty interesting television shows these past few seasons. The WB’s newest journey into the unexplained is a fiction drama called Supernatural that follows the journey of two brothers who travel the highways of the United States searching for the origins of unexplained tragedy. Every week Dean and Sam Winchester scour the Internet and various newspapers looking for mysterious crimes, bizarre accidents, and unsolved murders. The brothers travel every episode to a new location on an endless road trip with the purpose of silencing the evil that few only know about. Most of the time the brothers find themselves facing off against the inspiration of a well-known ghost or horror story. It’s when they find these urban legends or at least the ideas that inspire them that the plot line takes on a whole new level of interest. The fact that a show like Supernatural has a plot at all is amazing. The horror genre is not known for riveting story lines. In Supernatural the plot is detailed and focused and most often is the driving force behind any of the action. Sometimes the plot line can be so involving it becomes a character of its own, just as important, if not more than the show’s two male leads. A theme addressed in almost every episode is family. Dean and Sam are brothers and when one is in trouble the other will stop at nothing to come to any rescue. John Winchester, the patriarch of this crusading clan isn’t around much. In fact, an on-going sub-plot of the first season was the brothers’ mission to find their father as he had gone missing on a demon hunt. As unusual as the Winchester family appears, when together, they are a strong force to be reckoned with. Father/son issues, brother issues, lost love issues; general angst rules the relationships that dominate the main characters of this show. These men are human; they have very human problems even if what they do for a living is very inhuman. These problems, heightened by unusual circumstances, relate the characters to the show’s audience. It’s refreshing to see two brothers who care about each other, who miss each other and connect by way of a relationship not overcast by testosterone on television. The humanity of the show is just as important as the fantasy. It keeps the viewers involved. This is one of the best shows that TV has offered the horror/ sci-fi/ fantasy community in a hell of a long time. After being frustrated by horribly written clunkers like LOST that just keep viewers positively “lost” in an ever changing plotline, Supernatural actually delivers on the mysteries it presents each week.Supernatural is a fun, fulfilling TV show worthy of praise! I hope that the viewers keep watching and show the big bad networks who’s really in charge (US!)& to give the fans what they want! SUPERNATURAL!Read full review
Whether or not you believe in the supernatural, this show is bound to pique the interest of all suspense/horror fans. This is a slick well-written, well-produced show that I look forward to watching each week. In fact, it's one of the few shows that I watch in reruns over and over. The actors are very good and the dialogue is well done. The only issue I have with the show is that it is on the small, little known CW network. If you like Heroes and Lost, you are bound to like this show. I bought the Complete First season last year and I'm watching it again. When the Second season comes out on September 11, I'll be one of the first in line. I really love this show. I highly recommend it to anyone even thinking about buying the 5 CD set. If you have a brother like I do, it's easy to understand the love/hate relationship Dean and Sam share. This is an awsome show, and I know you won't regret buying it. Enjoy!Read full review
I love this series....the characters are very likable and easy to fall into their lives....it is addicting .... at least I am totally addicted. Love the way we go from place to place and always some new adventure. I had caught a few of the later episodes and liked it ...wanted to see how we got there and am enjoying the journey they are taking me on. Easy to lose track of time when watching this series. Always something new each episode. Would recommend to my friends but not for kids. They really get into some scary stuff and some pretty scary characters come out in the dark....I think would cause some really bad dreams for little ones. Be careful....I think parents might want to watch it first.

This show has a way of sneaking up on you and scaring you even when you're prepared for it. I've found every episode exiciting and to play on the one before it to round out the whole. The actors involved--Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are phenomenal in the roles. The one thing I wish they'd show more though is the balance of good and evil because so many times its the latter that seems to shine through. And hey, aren't they supposed to be the good guys?! Still, you feel for the family and root for them to win over everything they face. Love the interviews and behind the scenes on this collection as well as deleted goodies we missed on some of the episodes first time around. The second season has gotten off to a great start to--demon clowns, The Reaper, a dead mass-murderer. Can't wait to see what's next!Read full review
