Ive yet to see a single episode of Supernatural. Is it worth seeking out?
The odd trend of tv shows based on 20+ year old action movies (Lethal Weapon, Training Day) is one I've never really gotten on board for. True Lies has an interesting premise for a tv show tho. Could be fun.

Ive yet to see a single episode of Supernatural. Is it worth seeking out? The first five seasons...yes. Everything after that...not really. Imho, everything after Season 5 (which is where it was originally meant to end) just became the same old crap repeated over and over. Considering I started out loving SPN, it was rather sad that from Season 6 onwards, every time people thought it was going to be the last season, only for it to be announced that it got renewed, my reaction was pretty much... I did buy the first five seasons of SPN on DVD/Blu-ray...but have no desire to rewatch any of the other seasons (even though there was the odd good, or even really good, episode once in a blue moon). Hopefully Winchesters doesnt go for 15 seasons lol I think going through the sheer torture of that again would just about kill me.

Thanks for posting this^. First thought when watching was...man, Jensen Ackles' voice sounds quite a bit different (though obviously that's to be expected since...you know...actors age). Apparently he'll be providing regular voiceover. It does look to be 'typical CW' (which is a weird thing for me to say, since we don't have such a network here in Australia, but from reading various comments I've come to understand what that means). It's also weird to me seeing new actors playing Young Mary and Young John (I really liked the ones they originally had during Seasons 4 & 5 of SPN), but again, it was inevitable that they'd have to recast since the original actors who played them are older now. The actress playing Young Mary here reminds me a lot of Kathryn Newton who played Claire Novak in SPN, which'll take some adjusting to. I'm sure there'll be those who will hate seeing a female characters kicking arse in the show, but I'm just grateful we'll FINALLY have a female character who's a 'regular' in and SPN show who CAN'T be botted from the series because of whiny fangirls (which sadly happened with the only two female regulars SPN had back in Season 3). Doesn't matter how much bitching they do, Mary won't be going ANYWHERE - which is a relief. I imagine the show will take a while to find its own footing and not just be heavily relying on foreshadowing/references to the parent show. SPN's tried several times to get a spin-off off the ground and been unsuccessful. Hopefully this one succeeds. Assuming it's ever on TV here, I'll certainly check it out (as I figure it can't possibly bore me more than the original show did after Season 5). Oh, and to the people complaining about it 'retconning'/contradicting the original show's continuity...I'm pretty sure SPN already did that to itself after Season 5 at least several times.
