Superstition

The first episode was awkward in its flow, but once you get past that its actually a really captivating show. I'll admit that at times the production is different, which although it kind of catches you off guard, becomes one of the more endearing elements of the show.

The characters are all pretty interesting and some are surprisingly well acted.

The show kind of makes me think of a more freeform/less mainstream procedural version of grimm.

Anyway, I encourage viewers to wade through the first episode and get to the more captivating parts.

But I have it time, and that zombie show is one of my all time favorites. Superstition - of course won't replace my Winchester boys - but it's actually a pretty entertaining show. Stop trying to compare it to other shows, I mean, if you're saying that it ripped off Supernatural, then Supernatural ripped off Buffy, etc. etc. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Pretty much figuring it won't be renewed for a second season, and that's too bad.

From the opening episode Superstition tries to place itself on the same footing as Supernatural, even making a direct reference to "Sam and Dean".

That is, however where any purported similarities between the two shows end. Superstition is an inept knock off, that has about as much appeal as a Chinese Rolex. The scripting is dismal, narrative corny and in more than a few instances the acting is downright bad.

Indeed, if there is anything positive to come from watching this nonsense its simply to remind fans of Supernatural just how fresh and enjoyable this show is several seasons in.

In short an other worldly comedy of errors. Two out of ten from me.

I initially saw this and wondered if it was a Supernatural knockoff or if it was something semi-original. Turns out, it was the latter and a poor knockoff at that. In the first episode, they even make a reference to Supernatural "Sam and Dean's" arsenal in their car trunk; so, at least they acknowledge it.

As for the show itself, I gave it 3 stars, not because it's a poor knockoff of Supernatural, because it's not that good. I understand as much as the next person that most of these shows are "B" type flicks. However, the acting is really kind of bad and the nobody seems like they want to really be doing the show. On top of that, it seems like they rushed to unfold/evolve everything in the pilot, which made it less interesting, like they didn't have a good product and were just spit- balling for something to grab you attention.

Because I'm a fan of shows like this, I will stick it out for at least the first season to see if they can settle things out; hopefully they can.

Okay, we all know this is a "Supernatural" ripoff. That said, it really wasn't as bad as some of the reviews claim. Pilots have a tendency to be shaky, as they are introducing characters and backstory - so I intend to give it several more episodes. I like the premise, and having the family running a funeral home is just so *right*! Now they need to spend more time on wasting evil and less time on interpersonal relationships.
