Why supernatural is the best show




















It was announced Aug. Following the conclusion of Supernatural , a prequel, spinoff series titled The Winchesters was announced. Told from Dean's perspective, The Winchesters will focus on Sam and Dean Winchester's parents, John and Mary Winchester, in the early days of their "epic, love story," and will follow the two characters as they "put it all on the line to not only save their love but the entire world.

Originally, Supernatural kicks off with monster-of-the-week episodes as Sam and Dean search for their missing father. Raised with a dad who hunted supernatural creatures and tracked down urban legends, Sam wants no part of the hunt , while Dean is following in his father's footsteps. It causes a lot of tension between the two, but they bond over the course of the season, setting up their deep bond for the rest of the series.

If the first season of Supernatural introduces the audience to the Winchester brothers, it's the second season that really sets the foundation for the show. In it, the brothers track the demon Azazel, who is the primary antagonist in the early seasons - and clearly, some of the best Supernatural seasons.

The season also expands the world of the hunters, introducing several allies for Sam and Dean. Season two brings the Harvelles, Ash, and Bobby to the fray who become huge parts of the show moving forward. What is the best season of Supernatural? The best Supernatural season also happens to be the shortest.

With just 16 episodes, Season 3 was shortened from the original 22 as a result of the writer's strike. That shortened season seems to work in the fans' favor. In season two, Dean makes a deal that would send his soul to Hell a year later. Much of the third season is spent trying to make sure that Dean doesn't wind up in Hell. This brings about the introduction of Ruby, who claims to be able to find a way out of Dean's contract.

It also introduces the idea of Lilith - because she holds the contract on Dean's soul. The season even features an homage to fairy tales in "Bedtime Stories" that remains a fan favorite episode full of Easter eggs. Amanda is a freelance writer in Florida.
