Despite it being on
the air for five
seasons and soon to
be six, the CW’s
“Supernatural”
hasn’t been a show
in the mainstream of
things. Lots of
people have heard of
it, but lots of
people haven’t and
that’s why the first
season of the show
coming out on Blu-Ray
recently is the
perfect introduction
to the show for
newbs.
The show follows
supernatural chasing
brothers Sam and
Dean Winchester. Sam
is played by Jared
Padalecki and Dean
is played by the
excellent Jensen
Ackles. The two
brothers travel from
town to town looking
for instances in the
paranormal to
investigate and take
down. That’s the
premise of the show,
but underneath
there’s a lot of
intriguing qualities
about the two main
characters and the
storyline that will
keep you coming back
for more.
This season comes on
a four disc set and
most of the good
episodes come on the
first disc and the
last disc . The real
scares and thrills
come during those
shows, the middle
shows all have their
moments of thrills,
but they are far
less intense than
the first and last
discs in the set.
The music in the
show is intriguing
with a lot of use of
old school rock
music like AC/DC and
Sabbath. They use
some modern stuff in
spots but the rock
music is a welcome
change from shows
like Gray’s Anatomy
using the same
hipster soundtrack
over and over again.
This is a show that
you should check out
on Blu-Ray. There
are a lot of people
out there who’ve
never checked it out
and should do so
now. Jensen Ackles
is fantastic as
Dean, and even
though he’s not
amazing Jared
Padalecki is decent
as Sam. Some of the
shows are terrifying
while others are
just entertaining.
This 22 episode set
features a few down
episodes in the
middle of the season
but for the most
part, it’s an
entertaining
adventure into the
unknown.
