Review

*Supernatural* has become a true cult series. For any fan of horror, fantasy, myths, and legends, it is an absolute must-watch. It’s perfect for a cozy night in front of the TV—whether you’re watching with family or on your own. Once you start with a single episode, you’ll likely find yourself wanting more.
That said, you might need a bit of perseverance. As strong as the series begins, it does hit a bit of a slump at one point. After a few rather sluggish episodes—or even entire seasons—in the middle of the run, things pick up again, bringing back that familiar feeling that hooked us right from the start.

Plot (spoiler-free)

When they were boys, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. Subsequently, their father raised them to be soldiers. He taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America ... and he taught them how to kill it. Now, the Winchester brothers crisscross the country in their '67 Chevy Impala, battling every kind of supernatural threat they encounter along the way.
