Like it's sort of like if Buffy was written by a couple of frat bros
The writing, acting and direction isn't anywhere as good It goes on way too long It's best in the first 4 seasons It becomes a weird comically twisted meta version of itself The actors clearly gave up like after season 6 but stuck around for the paycheck and the fans it doesn't even go on kicking and screaming for a couple of more seasons than it should, it goes on for like 10 more seasons than it should It sort of just...keeps on going? I'm reminded of that How I met you Mother Skit where Marshall's car can only play one song and he explains that you end up hating it but it comes around again That's what this show is like. It fucking sucks for like 4 straight seasons but somehow you keep watching and you end up liking it again, even though it never gets any better --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ...

Irony posted... Everything you listed applies to Buffy as well except Buffy stops being good after season 3 That was kind of my point but I also disagree in terms of severity. Buffy went down in quality generally speaking but it still had some of the greatest tv moments well into season 6. Hush - season 4. Once More with feeling - season 6. The body - season 5. Yeah buffy started to kind of suck, but look at what we're comparing. 15 seasons compared to 7. Supernatural stopped having a plot anyone cared about at season 4. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm currently watching it and am enjoying it. It's really good, but here's a weird feature The actor who plays Sam somehow becomes a worse actor as time goes on, while the actor who plays dean becomes a better actor So the dissonance here becomes sort of jarring after so many seasons --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ...

It was absolutely stronger as a villain nay monster of the week show. The Wendigo episode I remember giving me genuine chills.
Then it became much more about Christian mythology because the writer changed hands. S5 would have been a great ending too. --- https://i.ibb.co/2vRbyC0/Rosa-6.png "Friends don't let friends watch The Big Bang Theory" - mogar002 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think the core actors had fun with it long after season 5 tbh.
I do agree angels and demons stayed the focus too long. Like even after However most episodes were okay for awhile and you still got bangers like the Scooby Doo Episode showing up. First 5 seasons absolutely were stronger. --- I post clips of my cool, stupid and glitchy MH Sunbreak and Tears of the Kingdom gameplay here just for fun. https://youtube.com/user/linkachu1000 ...

I'm on season 14 and it is a serious trial now. There were some really bad lows like I think 6 and 7 were terrible, but it goes through waves. There are some good seasons in there but none hit the highs of 1 - 5. Hell, the finale of 13 was so stupidly poor I thought it was a joke.
However, season 13 has a scooby doo crossover episode that is legitimately amazing. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u223/chocolateFRESH/arts/kraid.png - Thanks GP cosmonaut! http://i.imgur.com/TuJWAR8.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Those first five seasons are some of the best tv of all time IMO
I do feel like they got screwed by being just popular enough to renew the show. If you finished at season 5 before the cliffhanger thats a 10/10 ending season 6 is odd. But then gets going when it reveals the big twist. season 7 sucks 8-10 is kind of bad then its a huge mixed bag for so long. then season 14 really redeems the show and ends on one of the best setups you could end a show on. and then 15 s***s the bed beyond belief. --- Currently Playing: Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age (Randomised) ...

I loved the premise of the series ending itself but it did miss the mark in one big area.
