The Winchesters

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.

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.

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.

I was looking forward to The Winchesters, but to be honest, I think this was made for a teenage audience, Supernatural was an absolutely brilliant series with good acting, story, and direction but The Winchesters just haven't got what it takes to hold an audience's interest, the main characters Mary and John were just OK, I didn't feel any connection to them, it all gives off a Scooby-Doo vibe, I was expecting to see shaggy, Velma, Fred, and Daphne come running round the corner. I may watch the rest of season one episodes but I'm not expecting a great deal this is one of those shows that is canceled after the first season.

Everything is there to make this show live up to the supernatural name but it's missing something to make it do just that. It's literally like Sam & Dean 2.0 in the form of their parents with substance in the plot and immediate callbacks to the supernatural show. It obvious has a ton of potential as a show but right now it's just falling flat on the expectations I had for it. I hate to say it but the real achilles heel has been the acting so far for me. It feels like a B or C style movie/show and I try to be forgiving and invested but sometimes the acting actually takes me out of the show. I guess it just needs more time to settle in and develop but right now I'm struggling to stay committed to the show. Like I said it has potential and it's not always bad but it still has some work to do to really get things going and live up to its name. I'll change my ratings when or if that happens... until then I have to be honest and say 4/10. I find myself sometimes scrolling on my phone instead of glued to the tv like I was with the OG show.
