'''''Supernatural''''' is an incredibly [[Angst]]-heavy show based around a [[Monster of the Week]] structure topped off with an [[Myth Arc|over-reaching arc]], while simultaneously retaining humor through various means of [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]. It features Dean ([[Jensen Ackles]]) and Sam Winchester ([[Jared Padalecki]]), two brothers who hunt creatures based on [[Urban Legends]], [[Classical Mythology]] and [[Heaven and Hell|Judeo-Christian theology]]. The first season featured the brothers searching for their missing father, but, for the most part, the series features them [[Walking the Earth]] as they travel from town to town in search of supernatural problems to solve. It uses a diverse score of classic rock songs that feature heavily throughout, to encapsulate the gritty rock-and-roll life they lead, and features Dean's [[Cool Car|1967 Chevy Impala]] as [[Companion Cube|almost a third character]].

'''Famous for three main things:'''
 
# The [[Mr. Fanservice|ridiculously attractive]] cast.
# The sheer amount of [[Mood Whiplash]] it has.
# How it raised torturing its two leads and its numerous secondary cast (emotionally and [[Gorn|physically]]) to a [[Deus Angst Machina|fetishistic art-form]].
