Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune Sep 18, 2008
Supernatural has carved out a nice little niche for itself, and even though I'm not a particular fan of horror-related fare, I think the show executes what it sets out to do with quiet efficiency and well-earned confidence. Go to Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews Apr 21, 2020
3/4
Supernatural's Season Four is literally apocalyptic, but that doesn't mean the series' writers have forgotten to crack wise and take comedic risks as well as storytelling ones. Go to Full Review James Rundle SciFiNow Feb 10, 2020
4/5
Laced with the humour and action that make the show great, season four delivers on nearly all counts, while the sense that the story is building in momentum towards a crescendo has never been more palpable. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Feb 7, 2020
This has consistently been one of TV's best. But it has, of late, become so dark it's not nearly so much fun anymore. Go to Full Review Demian Television Without Pity Sep 16, 2013

Ava S @avast Oct 10, 2026 definitely a different vibe from the earlier seasons See more Rowan C @RowanC3 Sep 8, 2026 Supernatural Season 4 is very good and an awesome setup for Season 5. Lilith is the main threat this season because she is trying to break the seals to free Lucifer. We got to see Angels come down for the first time in this show, and Castiel's (Misha Collins) entrance was so cool. This is the main one who pulled Dean out of hell, because Dean was worth something to them. Sam went down a super dark path this season, and it really tested his relationship with Dean. Sam became a lot more powerful, and having him be the one to bring Lucifer back to life was crazy. Another huge thing that caused this to happen was Ruby's (Genevieve Padalecki) betrayal, and that was the most shocking point. The finale was packed with action, surprises, and a huge cliffhanger that will carry over into Season 5. Some of the random episodes in this season, I didn't really care for, but the last few episodes were absolutely peak. Overall, I really liked Season 4, and I am insanely stoked to watch Season 5. See more Rafael S @RT29537273 Oct 9, 2025 Very good season, I liked practically all the episodes, the ending is very surprising See more Noah T @RT05670249 Oct 18, 2024 Great i love this season See more Peacemaker T @RT96855271 Jun 5, 2024 Brilliant season. 10/10 See more Fernao R @RT09230367 Sep 1, 2023 It's good.
