Supernatural

Right now you can watch Supernatural in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Stan, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. 15 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. 8,534 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Jared Padalecki anchors it with a performance that grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

There is a reason Supernatural keeps coming up in conversation. What makes Supernatural work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. When they were boys, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. Subsequently, their father raised them to be soldiers. He taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America ... Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Across 15 seasons (2005–2020), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. Supernatural resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Supernatural a chance. If you have already watched Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, Supernatural is a natural next step. 15 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Watch for Jared Padalecki in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

Supernatural wrapped up in 2020, created by Eric Kripke — and 15 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
