The Winchesters

As an original supernatural fan, this show is hurting me. It doesnt come close to the original at all.

The acting is stiff and feels forced.

Also, the show has still to explain how the timeline and story is different to what we know from supernatural. Their dad didnt start hunting until their mother died.

Im also getting to much of a vibe that the cast is politcally correct. And it shadows the story.

Ill give it a chance for season 2, as sam and dean also needed some time to grow into their characters, But Im not keeping my fingers crossed.

If you need something to play in the background, then this is a show for it.

As any guy who has fallen for a gal who doesn't reciprocate his attraction knows, chemistry cannot be manufactured. And what made Supernatural a fabulous success was the chemistry between the brothers and the audience. The Winchesters is an honest effort, but the chemistry just isn't there. Instead of being a fun, weekly, TV tryst, each episode of The Winchesters just reminds me of how much I miss Supernatural.

Watching this series generates all the excitement of dating my sister. When I.cannot arouse enough curiosity about the next scene to fast forward through the commercials, there is a handshake and a wave goodbye in the very near future.

This series is acceptable, with hopes that it gains traction soon. Characters take time to develop, but a BIG improvement would be to dump the Carlos character. The acting and chemistry aren't all that great, but Supernatural wasn't either at the start and got better over time.

Has anyone else been turned off by the incessant sighing that Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) did in Supernatural? I noticed that John Winchester is doing that a bit, too. I hope it stops!

Anyway, part of what made Supernatural so good was story lines and characters that were interesting and added that ongoing evil presence to be fought against. Let's see something like them in the Winchesters, soon.

Series starts off okay..plot okay but scripting should be improved on.. conversations reminded me of Tyler Perry's shows and that's not a compliment..this Carlos character can be great if he would stop over the top acting.

My biggest issue is Plot Armour,the fight scenes are quite laughable and if this was the parent series Supernatural,they would all be dead!..lol. The monsters seem amateurish and at some point even hesitate to attack and wait for our heroes to take them out..lol..Jensen, you can do much better brother, considering you have the upper hand advantage of being down that road before.

I was looking forward to The Winchesters, but to be honest, I think this was made for a teenage audience, Supernatural was an absolutely brilliant series with good acting, story, and direction but The Winchesters just haven't got what it takes to hold an audience's interest, the main characters Mary and John were just OK, I didn't feel any connection to them, it all gives off a Scooby-Doo vibe, I was expecting to see shaggy, Velma, Fred, and Daphne come running round the corner. I may watch the rest of season one episodes but I'm not expecting a great deal this is one of those shows that is canceled after the first season.
