I’m loving it so far! It’s really showing us who John and Mary were before hunting really hardened them. I love the parallels they make between Sam and John, and marry and dean! And it’s not John apologist, it actually kind of shows you how he could become the guy we know after Marys death!
For people who are just soooo obsessed with John not knowing about the supernatural before marry dies… why does that matter? In SPN cannon John does learn about supernatural then his memory is erased. Why can you excuse that but not this. Obviously they are all going to loss their memories some how, like it’s not “breaking canon” by telling this story.
And for those of you who think that “the casting is bad, why didn’t they just use the old young John and marry!” Well that is very simple to answer, they are to old to play those characters. The new cast is amazing in my opinion, they all have great chemistry and I think their acting is great for a CW show. Like what were you guys expecting.
And for the people who think this is “woke” or whatever… no. Just because they have a bisexual character and poc people in the show does not make it “woke”. And it doesn’t make it inaccurate to history, these people have always existed and have been friends with white straight people. Like??? There is no “woke” agenda. Move on and stop nitpicking for nitpicking’s sake.
I am really enjoying it and for people who watched the fist 5 min and then shut it off because “it can never be SPN” first off, yeah no shit… very VERY few things could ever come close to spn. Spn is incredibly unique and would be incredibly hard to replicate whether or not it’s a sequel that you want. For many of us no show could ever come close to the connection we have with spn. If you are always expecting shows to be on the same level as supernatural then I’m afraid to say that you won’t be enjoying any media for a while. You with be missing out on so much just because you can’t connect to it in the same crazy impossible way that many of us did with spn.
My only advice is that if you go into this KNOWING that you will hate it, then you will hate it. And if you go into it thinking that you will like it then you are most likely going to enjoy it. Trust me when I say that this show is really good and that you should try it and leave behind your superficial excuses to hate it. Because it’s not “breaking cannon” and well, it won’t be able to “live up” to supernatural nothing can, and certainly no sequel could not even wayward sisters. All I got to say is give it a chance and leave prejudice at the door.
