Just because it was produced and sold on digital television does not make it a good program.
This program has been on Netflix for 12 seasons. This program is garbage.
"Supernatural" (click here)
It is one of the cheapest programs produced on television. It has no respect for the viewer in producing this disaster of a program. I can't believe it has lasted 12 seasons.
The description of the program is too kind to the content. It actually sounds like a fun experience, but, there is nothing fun about it. It even lacks excitement so much as pure gore.
Siblings Dean and Sam crisscross the country, investigating paranormal activity and picking fights with demons, ghosts and monsters.
This program came before me recently and I was appalled at the violence, the understanding of blood and gore and the inclusion of words such as suicide frequently used within the script of one show. Whoever is writing the script desperately needs a good job.
There is nothing entertaining about this program. It uses demons as if real, introduces fear more than Freddy Krueger ever tried to expose viewers to and the ideas reach into the treatment of the elderly. There is no respect for the mind of the viewer. It is gory insult after gory insult after gory insult. It is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre on steroids and it occurs weekly.
Media has ethics and this show ignores them all. It insults the human mind with ideas that are unnatural and very upsetting. There is no minority inclusion and in some ways that is a blessing. This is probably the one show where minorities are not demonized. Literally.
I wish this program was gone from viewing by anyone. It is horrible. It is horrible with impoverished sets used to shoot the program and it horrible from the lack of inventive scripts and moral content. It completely insults paranormal activity.
When I was 13, there was a soap opera called, "Dark Shadows." It was about the supernatural as well, but, it had a storyline. The characters were victims of a particular vampire. The show was about 30 minutes daily and it was entertaining. It never suggested any sort of violence, except, the fear of being bitten and becoming a vampire. It didn't insult the viewer's intelligence.
"Supernatural" is a horrible program. I find no redeeming quality to it and it needs to be reviewed by peers to provide guidance as to the ethics in media. The viewer is supposed to be entertained without assaulting their own emotional well being. I sincerely believe this program insults the well being of it's viewers.
It is my opinion the program is popular at all because the actors are cute. It is definitely cultish in it's viewing experience.
