Why Supernatural Is One Of The Best TV Shows

 

If you don’t know what Supernatural is, you’re probably from another planet. Just kidding! But seriously though, the show aired back in 2005 and is now on its last, 15^th season. Someone who has been following them since the beginning, this year is turning out to be the worst one in a century. With Supernatural ending, oh, and the pandemic, it seems that an era is ending.

The show, Supernatural began as a TV series in which two young men, who are brothers, did a few things like, and I quote, ‘Saving people, hunting things, the family business.’ A simple ghost here, a vampire’s nest there, that’s how things went for the first few seasons, and to be honest, it was fun to watch a pair of guys doing the shady yet brave work.

But as the series progressed, there was a shift in the usual family business. When the show began, the two protagonists, Sam and Dean, got together to search for their father who did not come back from a hunt. Sam, in college and looking forward to a future in law and a life beyond their family business, is dragged back to the hunting life. As much as he hates this life, having several demons (literally) from his childhood, he is convinced by his elder brother to join him for the search.

I won’t spoil the show for you, if you decide to watch it after reading this, but in short, the hunt never ends. And as the show ends this year, I’m hopeful their hunt ends and ends for good.

After the initial seasons, we begin to see the changes, as the show becomes much more personal, much more intimate and intense. As the brother hunt their way through America, there seems to be no end to the hells they go through, the pits they enter and come back from, and their nights spent in their home, their Impala.

I won’t lie, there are a few lags here and there. You'll feel that they’re dragging the plot and running the show just for the sake of it. But, just as you’re about to skip to another series, they’re back. The show does not lack Gods, demons, and entertainment from the Devil himself, so there are rarely any dull moments. The show runs smoothly when the brothers are back in their Impala, riding through the night, to save people, hunt things, and carry on their family business.

And this is where the beauty of the story lies, the story is ultimately about two brothers against the world, fighting for it, and they portray it so beautifully, you just can’t let them go. You cry with them, you laugh with them, and you sing along with them as Dean plays through his cassette collection.

In this show, we see two young boys turning into men. Men who are tough, sensitive, honest, and willing to fight everything and everyone for the things they love. The show teaches us through the lives of these brothers that a life spent loving someone is a life well spent. Several characters come and go, some died, some betrayed them, but Sam was there for Dean, and Dean for Sam. Sure, they fought, but they always found their way back home. Through the depths of their depravity, through their highs and through their lows, they stuck together, till the end. There is nothing wrong with spending a life with someone you love, no matter who that is; mother, father, sister, boyfriend, girlfriend, a dog, it doesn’t matter. Love is love, and beyond it, nothing prevails.

Finally, yes, Dean, Bon Jovi rocks, but only on occasions. But you rock, always, and you’ll be missed. So carry on, there’ll be peace when you’re done. Lay your weary head to rest, don’t you cry no more.
