I've caught random episodes of the TV series Supernatural many times over the years. I always found it entertaining, but I didn't quite get it. I had none of the background for the main characters. I just knew the main characters were hot. :)
I noticed recently that the entire series was available on Netflix. So one night I watched the first episode…and the second. The next day I watched another two. Ten days later and I think I watched episode ten last night. I'm hooked! I'd love to watch an episode right now, but it isn't at all kid friendly!
In some ways, this show reminds me of Buffy. There's definitely a rhythm to the episodes already and an overarching plot that is moving along, but the episode plots are also diverse and engaging. It's creepy and violent enough to keep my hubby involved for an episode here and there, which is a bonus. lol.
So, if you've been on the fence about Supernatural, give it a shot, especially if you're into the darker side of speculative fiction. I couldn't believe there are 149 episodes. I guess I'll be playing catch up for a while.
