- Very good fun
This is a very, very good TV show. If you have never seen it, it is definitely worth buying for the (very low) Amazon price.
I find myself loving this series an inordinate amount, probably against my better judgement. But its charm and wit are more than enough to mostly obscure its faults.
It is wonderfully shot. The tone is dark and moody with the characters often shot in silhouette and I love the way in which the set, car and props seem dusty and used. Unlike many current TV shows everything is not clean and characterless and sanitized. It is this that partly makes the show believable. It does not take place in the bright lights of the modern city with its shiny labs and FBI offices but in the more timeless diners and motels of small town America.
It is also very funny. The two brothers, especially Jensen Ackles (as Dean), have fantastic one-liners. Any TV geek will love the "what would Buffy do?" and the "I'm Mulder, you're Scully" moments. The concept too is ridiculously good fun. Every week the two brothers set out to investigate an urban legend come true. What follows is sometimes scary, often funny and always entertaining. The fight scenes, car and disguises seem to be a perfect formula for enjoyment.
However, this is never going to be the best TV shows ever. The dialogue is sometimes clunky ("we're better as a family Dad and you know that" springs to mind) and you find the actors occasionally struggle with the "manly melting moments" which increase with frequency as the series progresses.
But please, please do not let me put you off too much. This series is not always great but it is almost always good fun.
And I will admit it; this has so be one of my favourite, if admittedly not one of the best, TV shows around.
Rating: - A superbly written and executed show
I greatly enjoy any stories that have to do with the unseen and supernatural. I was immediately blown away by this show. It has it all - great storyline, good acting, superb special effects to make it all real, twists and side stories. The characters are well developed and the lore behind the supernatural seems well researched which dedfinitely adds credibility (if such a thing exists in the light of the subject matter) to the wild imaginations of the writers.
If you like hearing about demons, ghosts, tortured souls, redemption, in other words - THE SUPERNATURAL then this show is a must see for you!
Rating: - Another late night gem I missed first time around.
This is a brilliantly well written, well acted and visually stunning show. As well as the horror themes, which are often quite intense, it is packed with humour and so many tributes to many other shows and movies of the genre. It's also littered with rock music trivia, some I got straight away e.g. "Fathers Simmons and Frehley" and the Blue Oyster Cult motif etc. but there are so many I would have missed due to the fast pace of the show.
The two stars click well as brothers with more than their fair share of brotherly issues as they search for their missing father and to avenge the death of their mother. As they journey across America, funded by their skills as con-men, they meet all manner of legends, urban myths, serial killers as well as demons. It is a long way from being just an X-Files clone.
The box itself looks great and is pretty sturdy. Horror and classic rock music songs are a winning combination for me and I'll certainly be buying the other series.
Rating: - Supernatural rocks my world
I hate that i get so addicted to tv shows! Supernatural is one of the ones that i can't get enough of.
Brilliant story lines, characters and two super hot men. very very good!
Rating: - Great show and great dvds too
The show is just great. I like the idea of a new story for each episode as you can just watch without really having to know what has happened before. Well written and directed.
The dvds are great value too, buy them while you can!
