The quality of it sometimes lessens but it never loses the heart of it - the beautiful bond between Dean and Sam. That alone makes spending 10 full days on it worth it to me
SO true. Their bond is unique. :)
Actually the reason why I started Supernatural in 2023 is BECAUSE it had so many seasons. This way the characters become like family and the whole series becomes a dependable escape from the stress of life. Like you said, trying out new shows are exhausting, so I only pick the shows that have stood the test of time.
Can you tell me where can I watch this show for free

Watched all of it about two years ago. It's genuinely one of the best shows I've ever watched. Sure, it has a few bad seasons, but they're still bearable, and completely worth it to watch the rest of it.
Your right
The only season i really disliked is the last one.
The ending is alright, but the main story is horrible.
HELL YES IT IS. 100% WORTH IT, EVEN FOR THE 3 BAD SEASONS.
which 3 are those ?
what are the 3 iyo? for me 6/7/11
I mean it has to include season 7
@@natvelo Season 6, 9 and 10.
@@jamescarr1265 Funnily enough Season 7 was my favorite season until I finally watched Season 12.
season 1-5 is excellent television. The rest of the seasons have their ups and downs, some parts are entertaining enough, and some are a little hard to get through mainly because of frustrating character work IMO. so tbh I think to be able to finish all of it, you'd have to be a fan of the actors and/or super invested in the main characters, which I think most will be after 5 seasons, but prepare to be annoyed by later season's portrayal of your favourite characters.
See I watched the 3 seasons once and planned to come back then never did. Then about a year later I watched all of 1-5, loved it, went onto season 6 and decided to just leave it. Now about a year later I'm on season 4 and trying to watch the whole series start to finish
@@mouthshovelhow it go?
I binged it from February to October of 2021 and yes its absolutely worth it. Episodes like Changing Channels, Fanfiction, Scoobynatural, and more are just iconic and show how Supernatural did what other shows couldnt. I honestly didnt mind the later seasons, I thought they were great.
After School special too. The most impactfull for me
I would add French Mistake episode into this as well! That one was absolutely genius and so memorable!
It's absolutely worth it. You'll be changed forever. It has some of the greatest characters and the most beautiful character bonds in all of television.
So is Walking Dead but i would described it as high highs low lows situation, you have amazing seasons and you have seasons that you can just fall asleep on
The only thing it really lacked... was more episodes. That shit was so GOOD!!
As someone who binged all 15 seasons in about a month and a half. Do all seasons have pros and cons? Yes. Are some worse then others? Yes. But they are all still worth watching. Even some of the worst seasons have some amazing episodes and with the huge amount of episodes you get really attached to the characters and it makes it so much better.
& they explore new places 😁
I am glad to see more people talking about Supernatural that aren't already in the Fandom. I started watching it when it first came out. And watched it religiously until right around season 7. And only really remember the first 4 and a handful of the later seasons.
I watched it through Covid and it really didn't need 15 seasons. But for months it was my routine to watch an episode or two a night to escape what was going on in the world, and when I finished it, I was sadden I wouldn't have my escape anymore. That is my only reason for enjoying the length because of how long it keep me away from the world burning down around me.
I love supernatural, some of the later seasons do have a bit of a decline in quality but it is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. The bond between the brothers and everything else about it is amazing
I agree completely. Best show out there. :)
Yes and the whole thing is worth watching in my opinion. I know people crap on the later seasons and I will agree that the show dropped in quality after season 5, but I feel like I still *enjoyed* it as much as ever because of the cast. I’ve rewatched the show many times and it’s kinda become that comfort show for me. Whether the writing is good or bad, anytime Sam and Dean are on the screen it feels like home.
the writing is mostly good tbh
@@jamescarr1265 I agree but it wasn’t always perfect. I actually loved the ending though and thought it made perfect sense given what the show has made clear up to that point. I think people were just sad to see it go and I don’t blame them.
@@LuckySevens i feel like there’s a bit of bias against network shows these days. even Grey’s anatomy was really good for about 8 seasons. my favourite show of all time is Lost which is THE network show.
@@jamescarr1265 Yeah. Streaming has taken over and I’ll be honest, most of these newer streaming shows aren’t even good tv. They’re more like movies spliced into parts. Sure they look good, but the episodes aren’t satisfying on their own. Disney is the worst about this. Not to mention how many shows these days have so few episodes.
@@LuckySevens so true! this comment is exactly what i’ve been thinking for ages. i cant even tell episodes apart from each other because they’re made as parts and not individual stories that build to form a whole story. Succession luckily avoids this as do new shows like The last of us and Yellowjackets but Disney truly is an offender for this, although i thought WandaVision did a good job at being episodic and serialised tv for about half a season.
Supernatural is SUCH a quality show. It def steeped off around the last season or 2 but for 12 seasons straight you had MOSTLY bangers!
I agree 100%
I have watched the entire show many, many times and I still watch several episodes every night. I would love to see new seasons. Supernatural is my comfort show.
Can you tell me where can I watch this show for free
Without even starting the video, YES, YES IT’S WORTH IT! I just got done binging it from season 1-15 and I also never missed an episode when it was on. I grew up with SPN as it aired when I was 17 & ended when I was in my 30s with a husband and kids lol. Idc how long it was on, I MISS THEM!!!!
I also binged season 1 to 15 in two months
Its amazing that there exists a show thats as amazing as spn is and has 15 seasons, 20-23 episodes per seasons and an episode is atleast 45 minutes. 😍
100% worth it. Far better than a lot of the shows that are out there
Agree Supernatural is one of the biggest shows out there. No other shows gives me good vibes than Supernatural. This show is something special. Sad it ended. Wouldn’t mind a lot of seasons. Jensen became my favorite actor when I started watching show. So Stranger Things & Supernatural are those shows I really love
Exactly. Current shows are mostly unwatchable.
@@deanandsamAO3 try last of us. Looks good
when my brother forced me to watch this show at first i wasn't heavily invested in it but i watched some more before i was going to quit and that was my best decision i watched more and more and i was hooked so much so that completed all 15 seasons in about 2 weeks and yes my sleep schedule was messed up mmm yeah good show
I started on 2017 so i only had 10 seasons to really catch up with the show at the time on Netflix and I gotta say, overall the show is a mixed bag with some meh episodes and fun ones. I'm so glad you're trying to go on this different road! Your TWD vids already get me watching consistently, so I can't wait what you have in store!
I've watched it from start to finish a few times since it ended. Totally worth it...even when it's being wonky.
Its so worth it. I grew up watching this so im biased when i say this but this show has some of the best characters in television.
DEFINITELY in fact I have watched this series multiple times. And because there are so many episodes and seasons when I’ve finished I start it all over again I absolutely love it and miss it very much!!!!
Omg! I love your videos and I am beyond excited to see you covering Supernatural! It has a special place in my heart and it's so worth it. I'm gonna be rewatching it and looking out for your videos!!!
I’ve never finished anything this long but I’m giving it a shot. First season was good!
Absolutely worth it!!! I also enjoyed the 1st season of the prequel show The Winchesters, I seriously hope they get a 2nd season.
It’s absolutely worth it, I don’t think any amount of seasons is to many as long as the characters keep you hooked, I loved the series because of Sam & dean, even during some story arcs that weren’t that great the brothers is what kept me invested in the show.
I watched from the pilot, but got behind s11. It took me years to decide on catching up because I wanted to research from s1. I finally did it early this year - took a little over 3 weeks - and it was very satisfying. When SPN is meh, it's entertaining enough, but when its good its fucking GREAT. I think its great to catch up on if you're not in a mood to watch/binge something serious. V gratifying for viewes who started almost 20yrs ago.
My wife and I are about halfway through season three. I've watched the series before but have forgotten the minor story beats, and she's never seen it. Its been really great.
1-3 are really good and absolutely worth your time, but 4-5 are honestly some of the best seasons of television I've ever watched. They introduce some cool sci-fi elements (but with angels and demons and shit instead of laser guns)
Watched it back in covid era and became one of my fav shows.
I LOVE this show! I've watched the complete 15 seasons--twice! With it being 15 seasons, you might find it worth doing two episodes at a time. "Yellow Fever" is one of the funniest episodes, ever. There's also the shout out to Negan/Jeffery Dean Morgan that is awesome in it's subtlety. I'll watch with you--as far as you go!
what does "two episodes at a time" mean
I rewatch this show over and over it’s great
Hell yes, as soon as we finish all episodes we started again, it is that good.
Hell yeah. I binge watched it this year. Can't get enough of it, and plan to rewatch it soon.
Seasons 6-7 are okay, there are some classic episodes that are amazing, some great development for secondery character.
Seasons 8-11 are very good and have the best storyline after 1-5.
Season 12-15 are pretty bad, but they still have interesting new characters, great filler episodes and some great moments.
I would say the whole show is worth watching if you feel attached to the characters, even if it never reached the level of seasons 1-5 story arc.
Watched it all 2 or 3 years ago and now I'm watching it again with my daughter, no problem. I started out saying to her "Wait til you meet Bobby Singer" , then it was "wait til you meet Castiel" then it was "wait til you meet The King of Hell" and "you'll love Rowena". Best bunch of characters ever.
I'm interested in your follow up. I'm also curious about you asking the over-arching question in your video "Is Starting Supernatural in 2023 Really Worth It? And then for a single frame that flashes by at 6:13/7:35, you answer that question with a resounding "No." Curious. I will share with you that I found this show during the 2020 pandemic and had the time (seeing as the whole world shut down) to take it all in. Seasons 1-5 are some of the best television I've ever devoted my time and attention to - no question. There are seasons that don't measure up to 1 thru 5, but then there are individual episodes are that so, so good - you just have to give it up to all those who had a hand in creating them; like the episodes "Baby" & "Red Meat" in season 11. And there are others, but to do the show credit, there are too many to list here. Linear television gave it's viewers the gift of making them wait 7 days before they saw the next episode. It kind of cleansed the palette. Watching them one after the other streaming-style has its drawbacks. The constant bickering between the brothers could rub, but all-in-all, it's a wild joyous ride. Some of the comedic episodes are the best. Enjoy! Can't wait to see your next posts on the show.
Definitely worth it! Although I watched it every year it came out so it was nice have a enjoyable constant to look forward to.
The last season did let it down a bit though.
I started Supernatural early this month, and am just starting Season 5 now
Just stumbled across your channel, so i will be in part a part of the ride!
I'm curious to see how i get on with it too, as im aware later seasons are not all that great conpared to the first five,
But as long as the two characters and actors stay as good as they have been , plus the great recurrning characters ,
Then it'll continue being a great ride for me!
Yes. Period. Looking fwd to your future videos on it.
Watched all 15 seasons this year, and I loved it! Show really took off for me after season 8, and the only time I was mildly unentertained was during 13/14a.
I'm actually watching GoT right now, but I keep checking youtube every 20-ish minutes. Since I've already started watching the show though, can't really stop! And comforts me knowing it's only 1/3 the length of Supernatural!
Oh yes, I am a big fan of Supernatural. As I watched all 15 seasons and have them all on DVD, now am I happy with everything they did, no, but I always enjoyed what I saw and the monster they fought.
According to my mom, a watcher of all 15 seasons, the first five seasons are a really cohesive story that could have been the whole show, and season 9-12 got a little repetitive with the Angels vs Demons conflict. But the show never dipped too far in quality that there was a season that she would call bad.
One of the best series. That lasted 10 seasons with 4 additional movies was STARGATE SG1.
Show is the one of the best shows I've ever watched with the first 5ish seasons being the best. That being said its all so good and watched all 15 seasons!
Yes I have watched all 15 seasons in real time and I'm actually now watching The Winchesters and so far it's been pretty good
I never started watching Supernatural because of the length of the show, however my favourite tv show Doctor Who will be starting its 40th season next year.
After watching the complete Supernatural, The Winchesters and SPN animation, i can certainly say, that
.
..
.
.15 seasons is 100% worth it. Hell I want more
started rewatching a few weeks ago. last it binged it, i stopped around season 8 or 9, when season 10 was still airing. i got burned out, but im ready to get back in to.
It’s 100% worth it!! It’s scary folklore with good acting, comedy mixed, and the characters are built over time and become familiar.
I’m not great with gore ( I can manage blood ect, not so much guts and very gore) so would I still be able to manage watch this?
I was asking myself this question, HUGE thanks for that
I started binge watching it in high school on Netflix that was 2015 2016 by the time I binged watched all the seasons they were on season 13 on cable season 12 and I watch the rest of the show on cable!
I'll watch 20 seasons of Supernatural. It's awesome. My favorite shows of all time.
Its a cw show, with over 300 hour long episodes. As someone who is a fan of the arrowverse I have thought about watching but still havent pulled the trigger
Do it!!! Right up your alley then!
i started watching it in about march or april 2023, a few episodes nearly every day. it’s now december 30 2023 and i only have 6 episodes left out of 327. i’m gonna finish it in the first day or two of january since i can’t watch it dec 30 or 31. i think it was definitely worth my time and it’s my favourite show.
I Watch all of them, religiously. And boy it was quite a ride, lots of them filler episodes got nothing to the main story but still. Its feels good watching them. And the last season also delivers, one of the best endings in the sea of bad endings TV shows.
Yes. The finale was epic. :)
Watched it and got hooked, will watch again
I’m currently just starting on season 3! I’m totally addicted I can’t wait to get through all 15!
Havnt seen it in so long but love this channel
You already got me starting Lost, so good luck with this journey!! 😅✌🏾
Ahh, Lost! Now that was a show I committed to that was a complete time sucker and a waste of my time. I’ll put up with just about anything, but Lost was a huge disappointment.
I watched every single episode and it took me about 4 and half years on and off but it was my “I’m bored show” so I would put it on and watch it when I was bored or had nothing else to watch. It’s a great show I recommend a slow burn watching of the show. It’s not a beige show.
Hey ! Just wanted to know where to find or which tags you use to find the « on stage pictures » to illustrate your videos, because I’m curious to find these as well as I never seen those before (for example in your videos about the walking dead, where we can see very specific pics about the precise episode you talking about). Thank you and I like your videos very much, keep it that way please :)
Thank you! Do you mean like specific screenshots of the episodes? Cause I have all the episodes downloaded and then take screenshots of the moments on screen that I’m talking about. Cause yeah most of the time I can’t find them online anywhere. But check the IMDB episode gallery first!
@@thethriftytypewriter omg okay I’ll go check that thank you for the tips and be well !!
Do with this as you will. I watched it for the first time during the start of this year, then I proceeded to binge the hell out of it because I absolutely loved it. However, I will say this, you really start to notice the decline of the series after season five. That is because the showrunner Eric Kripke left (he’s the creator of this and The Boys). The show was only supposed to run for five seasons. I am conflicted about this, because on one hand, I’m glad they continued, and the other side of me is saying they should have just called it at five seasons. You also notice the point in which they begin to cater to a young female audience due to that being the bulk of the fanbase. What really made the show cave in on itself was continuing on after key characters that were more complex and interesting than Sam and Dean had been killed off. Hate me if you will and go off, go to town. I’m saying what I’m saying, although, I won’t mention those character names due to potentially spoiling it for others who haven’t watched it yet. Real fans with a brain and not an ounce of Sam & Dean fan girl (who have also written or made up their own fan fiction) in them know which characters I’m referring to. Don’t get me wrong, Dean is probably one of the most tragic characters in the history of television, nevertheless when it comes to favorite characters in the show, he isn’t at the top for me. After season five all the way through to fifteen, there were some really bad seasons, I couldn’t stand them. They became repetitive, the plot was obvious and all in all they were outright pointless. In saying that, there were also some great seasons as well. Would I recommend watching it? Absolutely. Will your life and everything collapse and will you go into financial ruin, leaving you homeless without your family or will you become a fugitive and hunted across your entire country if you don’t watch it past season five? Absolutely not, so don’t sweat it if you don’t commit to it.
After Season 5, it becomes more complex and goes over the heads of some viewers.
@@helenwood8482 it doesn’t take a genius to watch it. I understood everything I was watching the first time around. I wouldn’t exactly list it in the ‘Philosophical’ category of television shows in history.
I couldn't agree more
After your SPN journey I’d love if you treated yourself to Eureka. It’s only 5 seasons and one of my all time favorite shows!
I think I'm the only one addicted enough to supernatural to watch whole show thrice, in three consecutive years.. 😬😬😬😬 but hey it's better to trauma bond with a show than with humans as they say
Subscribed. Please also do the Ash VS The Evil Dead as well. 😊
It shouldve ended around season 10 - 11. They keep adding more but overall its probably my second fav tv show. Season 2 and 8 were peak tv.
Also started this journey not too long ago... I am currently at season 4. I'm not sure I will stick around for all of it but I'm going to at least get to the point where I finish season 5... after that I'll take at least a break and watch some other things and maybe go back to it later.
I binge watch this series at least twice a year.
Season 1-5 is the best! From then on it’s only for the fans I’d say
I started in July, and finished right after Thanksgiving. I'll be starting my second go-round next month. It's totally worth it.
Obviously haven't seen the video yet but I'd argue it's worth it.
Truthfully, you don't have to watch all 15 seasons.
Seasons 6-15 are so disconnected from the first 5, and the first 5 have such a good ending to them that wraps up every single plotline, that you can really stop there and consider yourself done with this amazing show.
Seasons 6-15 are debatable, some people hate em, some love em, some are indifferent to em and think they have great moments like me.
Buut even if you dislike everything past season 5, it's so disconnected from the story of the first 5 that it doesn't matter if you don't like it or want to watch it
Seasons 1-5 are legitimately great tv and well worth the watch, with 4 and 5 being some of the best tv out there in its genre. Everything past that point is hit or miss, lowering in quality as the show goes on and starts to run out of ideas.
I’m staring it in 2023 …. For the 50th time DVD all the way
This is my favorite show of all time and have literally watched the show anytime I have free time:)
I started when it first came on and dropped off in series 3 then came back in series 5 and after that i started to rewatch the seasons until they came on to netflix i think i dropped off intermittently between 7 and 13 but i would without fail after season 10 iust start full series rewatches. Its like going back home sometimes. Not all of the series is good and you can tell when they lost direction as well as when they were trying to spin off different shows ( the all female one would have been so great: wayward sisters) but it still had a bond between dean and Sam and still had episodes that made you think even 15 seasons in. You asked what comes after fighting the devil? So much more and a lot of it is pretty fun.
Watching 2 bros fighting monsters and ghosts to save ordinary people. Heck yeah!
Just finished binged watching it I loved it
It took my wife and i a year to finish it with multiple binge days in a row. We just restarted a month ago, and finished s15 two months ago
So where are the other videos? Recently restarted Supernatural for the 3rd time and I’m ready for this content.
Trust the process 🙌🏻
stopped watching at season 7 then i started watching Grimm a show that reminded me about supernatural Grimm is really good i wish people would do vids on it
I've watched all of them more then 15 times. I would start from the first one for every season that came out then watched them atleast 3 time a year
Funny thing, my boyfriend just started season 1 and wanted to surprise me but as soon as he was watching it, I instantly knew which episode. He pulled up random clips on RUclips and I knew which season and which episode. Lol.
Plus, I told him I can't marry him unless he watches it. My wayward brothers and sisters wouldn't approve other wise. 😂
I started s1 at the beginning of September. Today it's October 1st, and i'm at s10. You tell me if it's worth it
Yes, my man, yes.
“BALLS”💪🏾😎‼️❤️💯
Watched it for the First time Last month and completetd it in like 3 weeks it was worth it
I finished the last season yesterday and it is worth it. There are frustrating moments for sure but overall it was fun exciting ride for me. I prefer to have monster of the week type of episodes where the big main story progresses in the background. In later seasons on they focused more on the big world ending stories and sometime it was tiring but still worth watching for Sam, Dean and Cass. SNFW
I have not watched the video yet but my opinion on the subject is: yes, it still worth it :) This year we started to re-watch it and I can say that it still is way more better than lots of streaming series. The writing is so good. Back then i did not like the 7th season but right now, I think it still has the charm.
Please, do the series. It's amazing
Yup. I’ve watched the whole show start to finish now, 3 times.
6:10 YES.
Personally I’m an advocate for as many seasons as possible. I just finished Greys anatomy and rushed to Law and Order. And I’ve seen all 15 seasons of Supernatural 3 times.
I abandoned this show years ago during season 8. In the last few months I started again from where I stopped (over the years I've rewatched the old episodes sometimes) and I'm currently at the end of season 13. I personally think I will rest a little, watching something else before the last two seasons.
The problem of Supernatural is that it's so long that it jumps the sharks several times, alternating good parts and bad parts.
The one constant is that the characters are likeable and it's easy to care about them.
The show can be divided in major story arcs.
Seasons 1 - 5: the show as originally intended. It was supposed to have only five season, we all know about it. If you want to start now you can easily just watch this arc and then stop. This is the best part of the show probably, the quality is constant, the plot is very coherent, from the very first flashback at the beginning of season 1 to the end of season 5.
You can ignore the open ending and pretend this is the show if you don't want to continue.
Season 6 and 7: the writers were experimenting, trying to find a new way for the show. The problem is: what can the Wichester brothers do after saving the events of season 5? It's hard to find a new path for a story after it's supposed ending.
The two season are coherent, a big story in two acts. It expands the worldbuilding, develop the characters, however it doesn't have much influence on later season.
(I hate how they dealt with the big villains of season 7)
Season 8: the nothingness. I hate it. I wasn't invested at all in the major plotline. I never thought for even one second that the Wichester's quest in this season (you know, the "trials") would actually have an effect on the world. And the main villain simlpy can't work, he is not an actual villain.
Season 9 - 10 -11: I didn't like much season 9 for a series of reasons, however it can be considered the begininng of the arc.
I love season 10, this is probably the best season in blending the main plotline with the monster-of-the-week episodes. The only problem with season 10 is that I think they shoud have given more episodes to a certain thing that happens with Dean.
And then there is season 11, which is the second perfect ending for the show. For the first time after season 6 I've felt this show was actually the sequel of the first 5 seasons.
I wished I've stopped there.
And then there is the arc I'm wathcing now, from season 12. I'm kind disappointed, I really don't see where the show is going.
(I mean: I know the plot of season 15, I know where this is going, but it seems like a desperate attempt to finally stop the show).
Show is a complete banger top 10 shows of all time in my opinion pulls heart strings hard
Just started it 👍🏼
and after school speical was also a good one too
Yes its worth it for me. My favorite show
15 seasons & it still felt like they rushed the last episode
Used to watch this growing up. Catch believe it's still running
It ended in 2020
