If you ever get hold of the series watch season 1 only. Remember this is my own opinion. Good scary stuff. The first episode was one you watched with a partner
People who moved in pictures, haunted houses, ghostly hitchhikers. Name it and it was there. Lots of fun. The second season got stupid. Demonic possesion. People helpless against the forces of evil. And only two good looking dudes to save them. I only got through one episode so maby it got better.
The british seem to get it right. They make a good series and keep it short and sweet. The BBC rendition of Dr Jekyll is an example if you want to watch another out there series. Fantastic acting by James Nesbit.
Actually, there are a ton of "hunters" [as they're called] in Supernatural. It's just that Sam and Dean are the main characters. You have to keep in mind that it is fictional or else it can seem pretty stupid [as all sci-fi shows are if you're expecting it to 'make complete sense'].
Anyway, it's not everyone, obviously... but it's my favorite show... maybe ever...
Tell us more about it. I know I can find information on the Internet, but I like hearing opinions from other, living people. It makes for me bigger difference than "raw" information, which are found to be everywhere.
It's basically a show where Sam and Dean are the sons of a guy who was a "hunter". A hunter is a person who searches out the "paranormal" and "supernatural" and protects people from them--forces that policemen, fbi, doctors, etc. are unable to protect people from because their focused on the 'logical' or 'scientific' solution to 'supernatural' problems. The story gets very in-depth as the seasons continue... you learn that Sam was 'chosen' by a powerful demon to be the leader of an army of demons--to which he "respectfully" declines. Then later you learn that Sam is actually destined to be............................ while Dean is destined to.............. well, i can't tell you EVERYTHING, that would just be rude!
If you love paranormal, supernatural shows, then I don't see how you couldn't fall in love with this one. It has everything--vampires, werewolves, ghosts, zombies, witches, warlocks, angels, demons, gods, etc, etc, etc... oh, and the show is hilarious also! There's also the dramatic side which involves two brothers fighting against each other sometimes as much as they are fighting against the world of darkness... It's a great show.
