The Winchesters

I went into this without high expectations, and it did surprise me a bit that it wasn't bad. The actors are likeable enough -- I was more impressed with the supporting characters than John and Mary who seemed a bit bland. So far the voiceover from Jensen Ackles doesn't really add anything. There's of course the issue of the whole John and Mary story being retconned. As others have mentioned, the VFX isn't great but then again the SPN leviathans were pretty bad. I'll keep watching in hopes that it may provide something more compelling, but as it is its not a bad way to spend your time with a show.

Sorry, Jensen but you should go back being Soldier Boy (or do something else). That was a good role but so far this show is absolute garbage and a waste of time. It brings nothing new to the established lore.

Bad acting, bad casting, zero chemistry, insufferable characters, stupid dialogues, nonsensical behavior, boring and illogical plot, copied premise, "blurry" image, cheap CGI, uninteresting monsters, talk-diarrhea about feelings, Scooby Doo imitation without the dog, usual CW teenage trash... Should I continue?

I simply cannot find anything good in this cringy Supernatural afterthought.

The ending of the first season is a colossal disappointment. Such a lame way the deal with the "big" bad. Some fan-service is not enough to make it good.

As an original supernatural fan, this show is hurting me. It doesnt come close to the original at all.

The acting is stiff and feels forced.

Also, the show has still to explain how the timeline and story is different to what we know from supernatural. Their dad didnt start hunting until their mother died.

Im also getting to much of a vibe that the cast is politcally correct. And it shadows the story.

Ill give it a chance for season 2, as sam and dean also needed some time to grow into their characters, But Im not keeping my fingers crossed.

If you need something to play in the background, then this is a show for it.

Series starts off okay..plot okay but scripting should be improved on.. conversations reminded me of Tyler Perry's shows and that's not a compliment..this Carlos character can be great if he would stop over the top acting.

My biggest issue is Plot Armour,the fight scenes are quite laughable and if this was the parent series Supernatural,they would all be dead!..lol. The monsters seem amateurish and at some point even hesitate to attack and wait for our heroes to take them out..lol..Jensen, you can do much better brother, considering you have the upper hand advantage of being down that road before.

It was never the monsters that made SN great.. It was Sam and Dean. The love they had for one another. The chemistry Jared and Jensen had. It was Cas, Crowley, Rowena, Chuck, Gabriel, etc.. All these great characters!. Hell, even Lucifer (pun intended).

The characters and relationships made Supernatural!

This show takes place in that universe (I guess). But, the bad writing, bad acting, and lack of HEART make it unwatchable to any true SN fan.

This show just reminded me how special Supernatural was. And goes to show that no one can recreate that magic. I think Jensen should stick to playing Soldier Boy for now. Maybe one day he and Jared will give it another shot.
