This haunting series follows the thrilling yet terrifying journeys of Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers who face an increasingly sinister landscape as they hunt monsters. After losing their mother to a supernatural force, the brothers were raised by their father as soldiers who track mysterious and demonic creatures. Violent memories and relationship-threatening secrets add additional burdens on Sam and Dean as they investigate all things that go bump in the night. As old tricks and tools are rendered useless and friends betray them, the brothers must rely on each other as they encounter new enemies.

Mike Hale New York Times In its new Wednesday-night slot the show has been flat-footed and dull, with no snap in the writing and no life in the story. Oct 3, 2012 Full Review Phil Dyess-Nugent AV Club Supernatural is ready to start trying to once again build a mighty, steadily escalating end-of-the-world scenario that will reach to the skies. Rated: B- Oct 3, 2012 Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews As long as Supernatural can deliver at least this well, it's welcome on my TV. Rated: 3/4 Apr 21, 2020 Full Review Andy Wong We Got This Covered Season 8 of Supernatural feels unevenly paced with almost too much going on. I understand that this show went through a major turn in direction, but it should still feel like a continuation of season 7. Rated: 5/10 Sep 27, 2013 Full Review Ethan Alter Television Without Pity Supernatural returns from a mostly terrible seventh season to a slightly better eighth year. Sep 10, 2013 Full Review Edward Brereton What Culture A surprisingly simple and nostalgic premiere episode. Rated: 4/5 Oct 9, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review jenn c Lo único malo en esta temporada es la vida normal que tuvo Sam, me genera una bronca la tipa JAJSJA pero igual tuvimos a uno de los mejores personajes, Benny, como lo extraño la vdd TT aparte el final es DEMASIADO HERMOSO, la caída de los angeles y luego la escena que más me rompe el corazón, Crowley en esa iglesia diciendo que merece ser amado :( Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review Fernao R Not that bad, but still a no. This is the most forgettable season. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Freedom T While a bit better than season 7 it's no where near as good as the show used to be Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
