Opis:
Supernatural, like so many successful shows before it, starts
with a simple concept. When their father goes missing, two
brothers--Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki)
Winchester--head off across the country to try and find him. But their
journey isn’t easy, especially when you consider the assortment of
spirits and nightmarish creatures that stand in their path.
On paper, that sounds a derivative mix of many shows that have gone before it. And to some extent, that’s what Supernatural
is, yet its mix is nonetheless compelling. What lifts it above the norm
is the quality both of the writing, and crucially, the direction of the
show. There are moments that are spooky, and some that are downright
scary, with plenty of suspense linking the two. And while the 22
episodes have their fair share of peaks and troughs, Supernatural has an edge about it that easily carries it through its slower points.
At
the heart of the show, ironic considering the number of other
programmes it tips its hat to, is a desire to do things its own way, and
for that reason, come Supernatural’s maiden season finale, it
leaves a real thirst for more episodes. Fortunately, the second season
is already in the can, and we suspect it’ll continue to grow the number
of fans that Supernatural is rightly earning for itself.
