Supernatural, the American dark fantasy drama created by Eric Kripke, has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. With its iconic duo, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, playing the brothers Dean and Sam Winchester, the show has become a long-running favorite. Running for 15 seasons from 2005 to 2020, Supernatural has solidified its place as the longest-running fantasy show in the US and one of the greatest of all time.
The series begins with Dean and Sam searching for their missing father, while also battling monsters they encounter on the road. They later discover that their mother's killer is a demon named Azazel, setting in motion a deeper and more complex storyline. As the series progresses, it incorporates elements from various mythologies, expanding beyond just hunting monsters.
Another factor in Supernatural's success is its ability to balance darkness and humor. While initially a horror series, it quickly finds its unique voice by incorporating comedic elements. The show becomes self-aware, acknowledging its dedicated fanbase and even featuring episodes where Supernatural is a book series within the show itself.
Even when the effects may appear cheap, it adds to the overall charm and aesthetic of the series, paying homage to B-level horror films.
