Feature: Thank You, Captain Obvious: Definitely Not Your Average Supernatural Review

Dean and Sam Winchester fight all things weird and often obnoxious in Supernatural. One common thread links the demons, vampires, shape-shifters, and other oh so lovely ghouls that seem to populate a frighteningly large proportion of the United States: the line between good and evil is often a blurry one. Oh, and that Impalas rock.

What happens in Supernatural doesn't stay in Supernatural; many of the show's dilemmas take root in day-to-day, current global dilemmas. Too bad we don't have a real-life pair of Winchester-like brothers, helped by a real-life Castiel… So this review will just have to do! Combining a sometimes acerbic humor with enthusiasm that would make fan-girls everywhere proud (and boyfriends everywhere cringe), these reviews focus on the social criticism Supernatural is.
