Ghosts, demons, fight scenes, sex, blood, and a little bit of comedy what else can you want from a perfect show? Supernatural is a horror show on the CW, which features two young men, who are brothers, and their journey to help rid the world of monsters that people may not believe are real, but they are. Innocent people are dying and it is up to Sam and Dean to save the day. This is my favorite show that I like to watch every Thursday at 8pm CT. It appeals to me and many other supernatural lovers. It takes your horror films or horror stories and puts them into the plot of the story. Now this is the best show if you like horror films and even if you don’t how can resist two hot guys fighting monsters. I mean come on people you know it’s awesome!
Supernatural is probably mostly geared towards teen to young adult men because of the violence and bloodshed that is shown in most of the episodes, but it can be appealing toward teen and young adult women because of the young men that are the main characters of the story. I mean don’t get me wrong there are girls like me that like the whole horror movie kind of story, but for some people that don’t it may just get them because of the main characters. The show is mostly portrayed to basically both genders and to a white, middle class audience. It is also mostly geared towards people who believe in the supernatural and through this show they bring all those stories that you have heard and have people experience them in the show. The media is finding out that we are the people that just don’t want to see the same old drama show with teens having sex and getting pregnant. We need a real show that has suspense and really wonder what will happen next without having to wait for the next horror movie to come out.
As any other show the media believes that sex will always sell and that is where these two guys come into this. Basically as I can recall all shows have some reference to sex to attract the audience to their show. It seems to work for the most part. That’s what the media tries to do if they can’t get them to watch the show at first. I personally don’t watch it because of that I just love it because it’s suspenseful and that it’s about supernatural beings. I believe that these things exist and that probably why many people watch enjoy watching the show as well. Supernatural brings everything together angels, old myths, demons, family, and even religion plays a part of it. It just can show how complicated life can really be and brings all these elements into the story. Life can be scary and that’s what Supernatural shows. Watch Supernatural on Thursdays at 8pm CT and you’ll just see what you’re missing.

cool beans. I've watched the show once, not a huge fan, but it was interesting for one view. :)
ReplyDeleteYou do a very solid job here talking not only about what differentiates the show from other, similar, media texts, but also talking about what its appeal might be for its audience. A little more detail--more on characters, plots? Maybe referencing a specific episode of the show?--would be really useful--to make room, you could get rid of some of the casual universal claims: " even if you don’t how can [you] resist two hot guys fighting monsters. I mean come on people you know it’s awesome!" If I knew that, why would I need to read a review?
ReplyDelete*A* link is progress, but I'd like to see them become a more integral part of the review--not just tacked on at the end.
