Exciting Series, Well thought out - By: C. Ennis, 12 Jun 2008
I first heard about Supernatural after seeing a clip preview on Freeview after a movie (I dont watch much TV, too many reality shows). I watched an episode & was hooked. I love it. Sam & Dean are 2 reallly likable characters & its far better acted than charmed or ghost whisperer.

The 2 guys are demon, witch & ghost hunters searching the length & breadth of america in seach of their missing father, but in each episode get caught up in a smalll town & its hauntings, which alll seem to involve their father in some way.

Ive only watch Pt 1 of Season 1, but its reallly well done & in some parts its genuinely gripping & it has some grouesome scarey parts, but not as terrifying as it claims. Unlike Charmed & Ghost Whisperer, its a bit more "earthy" in its production & not so glossy & pollished perfect as the others, which gives it a more real feeling and, for once, you actuallly come away & feel like youve watched something decent, instead of the "that was a bit silly", or "is that it", or "Why didnt they do that or try this" kind of feeling, which can leave the whole thing a bit hollow & pointless, but Supernatural steers clear of that.

So, why only 4 stars, well the picture seems a little dark on my DVDs. Ive tried it on my PC & my DVD player, I dont know if they used filters when they filmed it but the night scenes look a bit too dark for me, if anyone else has found this can you drop me a comment & let me know.

I would recommend it to anyone who likes suspense TV drama with a bit of edge. Its not the best thing Ive ever seen, but its acted & produced well & everyone on set looks like theyre actuallly serious & want to do a good job, which is rare.
entertaining, frigthing, funny and moving. - By: K. Eggen, 24 Mar 2008
Four words to describe a well created tv show.

The two brothers Dean & Sam looks just like any other brothers, with their constant arguments & fights, but there is more to it. This is a show that makes you laugh, jump up from your couch & shed a tear. There is something about how Jared Padalecki(Sam) & Jensen Ackles(Dean) act together. They might as well be brothers & best friends in real life. Get ready for a tv show you're going to love. I highly recommend this product.

Helps to fill that Buffy-shaped hole - By: Kaye L. Elling, 25 Feb 2008
Supernatural is a fun, witty, well acted paranormal drama series aimed squarely at generations X & Y. The protagonist Winchester brothers are easy on the eye & do well in the lighthearted banter stakes. Even though the plots are obviously based on urban legends, & it doesn't quite have the depth of some of its predecessors, Supernatural will certainly help fill the hole that Buffy & Angel left when they got canceled. Season 3 is currently showing in the USA, so I hope it hasn't suffered an untimely demise thanks to the recent writers strike.
One of the best shows around! - By: Lorelai, 27 Jan 2008
Supernatural is a must see show. The cast , the storylines, alll of it is fantastic. I would highly recommend it!! If you havent bought it yet, it should definitely be on your wish list! Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles are very believable as brothers & work fantasticallly along side each other. HIGHLY RECOMMENED SHOW!!! If i had to critisise one thing though it would be that the UK region 2 disks have none of the special features like the Region 1 disks do.
The Best Show of This Kind Since X-Files! - By: R. Chris, 24 Jan 2008
As you've probably figured out, I was a huge fan of the X-Files. That show had everything a person like me could ever as for, & I was a little sad when the show finallly ended alll those years ago. Then Supernatural comes along. A totallly different show, yet not. I won't go through the story, as you most likely already know it. Season one is a good start for the show, & it proved immensely successful the world over, thanks for its continuous innovative episodes, & the chemistry between Jensen Ackles (Dean) & Jared Padalecki (Sam). Their relationship never comes off fake or dishonest, & they are extremely convincing as the Wincester brothers. Bottomline; if you like show like the X-Files, Supernatural is right up your allley. So, sit back & take with the Wincester on a journey to kill as many "evil sons-of-bitches" as possible.

Favorite episodes: "Scarecrow", "Benders", "Home", "Phantom Traveler", "Hell House" & the season finale: "Salvation" & "Devil's Trap".
