10 Reasons Why You Should Watch Supernatural

Written by Camila Gutierrez

Supernatural is one of the most popular TV shows, mainly because of its longevity, a lovable brother duo, and a cute and hilarious angel. Despite this, there are still many people out there who are hesitant to watch it, possibly because it is so long or maybe because they aren’t really sure what it is about. But fear no more! Here we present to you only ten reasons (because there are more, honestly) to watch this CW show!

1. Amazing Plot

There’s no denying that Supernatural has a pretty great plot. It starts off with the Winchesters, a happy little family. There’s the mother, Mary, the father, John, and two adorable little brothers named Sam and Dean. When Mary is killed by a supernatural being six months after Sam is born, John will do everything in order to find it and kill it, even if it means dragging his children into this hunt. So, the brothers grow up in this dangerous life of hunters, and there’s no better way of explaining it than with this line:

Twenty-two years after Mary’s death, everything is going as good as it can in the lives of the Winchester men, but when daddy John goes missing, Dean goes looking for Sam’s help, since Sam got away from the life to go to university. Together, they will try to find John, but nothing is that simple for Sam and Dean, and they encounter all kinds of beings along the way.

So, in other words: the most badass, coolest plot ever, right? It’s a crazy ride filled with ups and downs and there’s all kinds of moments: action, hilarious, the not-so funny and also downright sad moments that you will feel right along with Sam and Dean.

2. Best Brother Relationship Ever

One of the best things this show has to offer has to be the relationship between Sam and Dean. Dean is the protective big brother, willing to do anything to keep Sam safe, while Sam is the little brother that can be annoying sometimes but cannot live without his brother. They care so much for each other, and they will do anything not to lose the other. They have gone to great, and I mean GREAT, lengths to ensure the other’s safety, sometimes not even caring about the consequences. Their bond is so strong that it is definitely one of the reasons fans have stuck with them and this show for so long. The fans live for these brotherly moments and trust me, there are plenty of them for you to enjoy.

3. Good Looking People Everywhere

OK, this one might be the most superficial one, but true nonetheless. The actors in the show are stunning! Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester), Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester) and Misha Collins (Castiel), besides being spectacular actors, are extremely good-looking. I don’t know about you, but that definitely contributes to the enjoyment of the show in my opinion. Plus the list can go on with other supporting cast members such as Jeffery Dean Morgan, Genevieve Cortese, Katie Cassidy, Sterling K. Brown, Alona Tal… Honestly, The CW knows how to do one thing well and that’s to find some serious jewels for their shows!

4. It’s Still Going So There’s Plenty To Watch

And actually, it has been recently renewed for its 14^th season! With more than 250 episodes, you are guaranteed for a few months worth of Supernatural. Once you’re finished, you can rewatch episodes especially the mind-blowing ones which is always a good solution if you want more.

5. Fantastic Supporting Characters

Since it has been on the air for so long, there are a variety of secondary characters for you to fall in love with. Even if the only appear in one or two episodes, these characters have a way of getting into your heart. From really grey characters to strong female characters, there’s a little bit of everything. That being said, don’t get too attached, because there’s one thing Supernatural is good at: making fans suffer.

6. An Excellent Soundtrack

Probably the second best thing in the show has to be the music. Dean is a rock and roll junkie, and pretty much the whole show is filled with these awesome classic rock songs. The songs convey just so precisely the show and the brothers. Also, there are songs such as Carry on My Wayward Son by Kansas that will stick with you forever, since most of the time they are a symbol of the show. Trust me, if you are not a fan of rock, this show will convert you.

7. The Fandom

Supernatural has a pretty big fandom considering its longevity. People even think of it as one of the best fandoms, and Jensen and Jared themselves have said on many occasions that the fandom they have is awesome and supportive of the cast and crew of the show. There have been ups and downs, but certainly this fandom is more than just that: it’s one big family. Also, take this in mind: Tumblr is where the Supernatural fandom lives. You for sure will find most of them there. It is scary what the fandom can do in there.

8. The Mythology                               

Let’s face it: Supernatural has a wide range of rather interesting creatures. From angels, demons, vampires… and even faeries! It gets a little weird sometimes, but that is one of the reasons people love this show. They are unlike anything you will ever see on TV. It tackles a lot of lore and ancient creatures, including leviathan, the four horsemen, reapers and so many more!

9. Jared and Jensen’s Chemistry

Jared and Jensen are best friends in real life, which just adds to the feeling that they are truly brothers. They have said in many occasions that they consider themselves best friends, and even their wives and kids are friends too! That is maybe why the relationship in the show works so wonderfully. Jensen has even stated that the show wouldn’t have lasted this long if he and Jared weren’t friends and as committed to the show as they are. Their chemistry in the show is INSANE! It is no surprise fans already think of them as real-life brothers.

10. All Set To Binge
