And the whole occult world always has a strong pull on our collective imaginations which works in the show’s favor. Every member of the group has a clear goal to save the world with the engaging setup of monsters popping up as obstacles along the way. They all have tragic backstories that can be explored as the show progresses. There’s a cast of interesting characters that have nice chemistry. Mary is determined to go deal with it on her own but John convinces her that like it or not, the whole group is going together.Īs a new show with no connections to Supernatural, I think The Winchesters had a solid start. Along the way, they have their first hunting encounter and come out the other side with all their fingers and toes, and a stronger bond to boot.Īfter meeting Ada Monroe ( Demetria McKinney), a rare book dealer whom Samuel was working with before he went missing, the group learns of a bigger threat looming on the horizon. The foursome goes off to gather more information about what happened to Mary’s father, and potentially John’s father too. LtR: John (Drake Rodger), Mary (Meg Donnelly), Latika (Nida Khurshid) and Carlos (Jojo Fleites). She is mainly a researcher when we meet her but she wants to stretch her wings and this road trip seems like the perfect opportunity. She is a timid girl who got dragged into the world of monsters when Samuel, Mary’s father, saved her from a monster at one point. I found him rather obnoxious, as stereotypes usually are. Image every stereotype of a dramatic gay man and there you go. Carlos has a very over-the-top personality. We’re also introduced to two of Mary’s fellow hunters, Carlos ( Jojo Fleites) and Latika ( Nida Khurshid), who join them on their journey. She tries really hard to convince him that he wants no part of her world but of course, guys rarely walk away from cute blondes so he doggedly pursues her. The play between naive John and world-weary Mary is cute. It harkens back to Sam and Dean’s reunion in episode one of Supernatural, where their father has gone missing and they set off cross country to find him. John and Mary bond over their missing fathers and decide to head off on a cross-country road trip to find them. The Winchesters premiere is great for newbiesįrom the point of view of new watchers, the show has a lot of promise. Having seen the pilot I think the show needs to be evaluated from two different views Supernatural fans and new watchers. Adult Dean ( Jensen Ackles) narrates with beginning and end commentary attached to each episode. It follows Sam and Dean’s father and mother, John ( Drake Rodger) and Mary ( Meg Donnelly), as they meet and fight monsters before the boys were ever even thoughts in anyone’s head. The Winchesters is a prequel to Supernatural. Now the CW is attempting to lift them up with their new show, The Winchesters, but will fans accept this replacement? Many Supernatural fans were left in a state of despair two years ago when their beloved show ended after fifteen years.
