Season 12 is off to a good start. I'm optimistic and intrigued. I'm digging the girl power and the traditional quips between our favorite characters and their adversaries. Let's see where we go from here. Go to Full Review Christine Laskodi Tell-Tale TV Feb 7, 2020

All in all, "Keep Calm and Carry On" was an intriguing, if somewhat uneventful, episode that nonetheless offers a promising preview of the rest of the season. Go to Full Review Rueben TV Equals Jan 31, 2017
What is most troubling now... is that Mary Winchester was talking to Mick Davies about the British Men of Letters' plan for the United States: no more monsters. Great for everyone - sure - but at what cost? Go to Full Review Jessica Breaux TV Equals Oct 17, 2016

Rowan C @RowanC3 Oct 12, 2026 Supernatural Season 12 was pretty good, and I liked it more than most people gave it credit for. The addition of Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith) was interesting, and I didn't really care for her character. The British Men of Letters were awesome, and I loved the conflict between them and the American hunters. Mr. Ketch was also awesome. A lot of the random hunting episodes were good, and some of them were pretty mediocre. Having the other villain this season be Lucifer was awesome, because he just makes everything more interesting. His grand plan to have a kid was huge, because the power that his kid now has will be insane. There were a couple of shocking moments in this season's finale, and they were surprising, to say the least. Mary took one for the team and trapped Lucifer and herself in that alternate world. I liked how this season ended, and I'm curious to see what Sam and Dean do with Lucifer's son, Jack. Overall, I really enjoyed Season 12, and I think it was overhated. See more Матвей О @RT08649794 Feb 3, 2026 As far as I'm concerned, it's been a pretty good season. There have been some really good episodes, and so on. Sam and Dean are still good; it's not a bad story. I don't know why. See more Maikevin F. Z @RT84177907 Oct 29, 2025 The most boring season, and probably the worst See more Peacemaker T @RT96855271 Jul 22, 2024 This was a great season! I found it really entertaining. I don't get why it's so hated! See more Fernao R @RT09230367 Sep 1, 2023 Probably 2nd or worst season. I was just waiting for it to end. The villains was horrible. The only reason i could stand watching it was because of Lucifer. Lucifer carried as much as he could. Love Lucifer See more skyler K @RT15726497 Jun 14, 2023 So many good ideas that just went to complete waste. And killing off characters right when they get character development. This season makes me mad in the worst ways. I hate almost every decision they made. I dont know what they were thinking See more Read all reviews
