5/5
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
All in all, this was a very solid season opener. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

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 Mateo L @RT64788986 Aug 13, 2022 My rating for the s12 is a 8.0/10 See more Read all reviews
