Supernatural Season 1: A remarkable TV show

Advantages: Humour, suspense, good acting, attractive characters.
Disadvantages: Long plot, special effects aren't great.

...Season 1 of Supernatural is the story of the Winchester boys, Dean and Sam, who are trying to find their father after he disappears. Each episode features some kind of task involving the supernatural (of course!) and the boys must use their father's journal that he left for them to identify each creature and how to destroy it. As well as their "adventures", the main focus of this show is the relationship between Dean and Sam, and finding the monster ...
...the show and have watched every episode that is available in the UK so far. Lucky for American viewers, you are half a season ahead of us. But I recommend buying the seasons on Amazon as they are very cheap and good quality. It's a terrific show, funny and full of suspense. It is definitely worth giving a try. ...

She was healthy for all we knew, but she had a minor heart attack so my heart ...
...Billy breaks a rule and Gremlins spur from all over the place... The gremlins becomes the bullies and bully poor cute Gizmo. All kids would cry at that bit. But what will happen after? Will Gizmo be happy again? Will the gremlins die? What havoc will they cause? Would Gizmo leave? Or will he die? I shall not answer these questions, but you must be eager to find out. There are 2 different covers, there's the one that you would find nowadays which ...
