Supernatural




 When Supernatural debuted i was intrigued but the WB stigma  stuck out. It was not until season 5 that i finally watched it. My uncle gave me the first season on DVD that he found at a garage sale. I binged it and then borrowed seasons 2-4 and caught up with season 5 online. Season 5 was supposed to end the series so i stopped. Years later a coworker convinced me to catch up with season 6 to 8, so i did. I continued to watch 9-11. And the show while contrived was always a blast. During season 13 i caught up with the next few seasons mainly to watch the Scooby episode. Then once again stopped. Now i am all caught up, and season 15 is the first since season 5 that i watched weekly. The show celebrates america, backroads, dinners, horror, folk lore, it is a great show with well timed humor, decent gore and suspense and lovable characters. This season was a bit spotty but the last 3 were excellent. The second to last SHOULD have ended it but i loved that the finale showed Sam and Dean post hunting. It makes sense for them to get sucked back into it though and the finale was truly touching. Dead is dead and it shows the afterlife, YEARS down the line after all the characters have passed, it is quite like Lost. In fact i wish the show ended with the Winchesters reunited with all their old friends in one house. Thank you for 15 years!
