THE PREMISE: 22 years ago, their mother died hanging... no, wait... flat on the ceiling of Sam’s nursery. Their father saved them but there was a fire and everything was gone. Present Day, Dean visits Sam and tells him their dad has been on a hunting trip and hasn’t been home since. The catch was that their dad was hunting the thing that killed their mother 22 years ago. Thus was born the moster-hunting duo of the brothers Winchester.The series centers around brothers Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) while they travel across the country in search for their missing father. We learn that ever since their mother died, their father has been training them to prepare for anything supernatural because their mother was in fact killed by a demon.
Taking cue from other hit-shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the X-Files, Supernatural unleashes a variety of demons and monsters on an unknowing world. The season is split in dual narrative form as each episode features a self-contained story while building on the mythology of the entire series much like the aforementioned shows. Anyone who's a fan of the supernatural (no pun intended) will dig the show's mix of monsters & drama.
