Default What's on TV?

Well?




Supernatural blasted back onto our UK screens on ITV2 on Sunday, and it was literally a Dean Out Of Hell moment.

In brief, the Winchester brothers are monster hunters.
They travel from place to place hunting and dispatching demons.
Although many episodes work well as stand alone stories, there is often a sub plot weaving it's way through the series.
At the end of series 3, Dean had been dragged to hell.
Now he's back, but you'll have to watch to see how he got out.

Luckilly for me, a pal of mine has errrrrrm, borrowed most of the current series off the internet so i've watched most of the series over the last two nights.

Supernatural is great TV.
The supernatural is a difficult thing to get just right.
It can come over as too OTT, or just plain silly.
It's hard to find the right balance to give the viewer a chill.
That said, Supernatural is always good for at least one funny episode per season where the plot twists and laughs come hard and fast, but no matter how bizzare a plot seems to be, all ties in nicely by the end of the episode.
It helps that the stories are sound, and that both Winchester brothers are played by actors who play their characters skillfully though quite naturally.

Jensen Ackles in particular continues to give a stunning performance as Dean.
As the more flippant brother Dean is often funny, but like the clown crying on the inside, there are much more revealing moments throughout the series, and these trully are well played and believable.

So far i've seen 11 of the 15 episodes to this season, and I must say my favourite was episode 8.
The comedy episode quite often is.
All that i'll say about it is that that Teddy Bear redefines the word AWESOME.


Catch Supernatural every Sunday.
