I want to like Supernatural, really I do, but it's so damned clichéd.

I so want to see an episode in which the brave knights Sam and Dean don't prepare for war against the supernatural to protect a helpless maiden; just once I want to see them help an ugly man of mid-forties or older with no girl or young kid in sight. Just once I want to see the police/sheriff in question act at least moderately like they/he would in reality (letting them leave town with no fixed address when there's still an open murder investigation?! Please.). Just once I want Sam and Dean to encounter unsurmountable problems when attempting to investigate the crime scene, get the victims to talk to them, or evade the attention of law enforcement.

When it started, this series felt like it had so much potential, and then the producers simply threw it all away. And it's not getting better.

Supernatural is good standard, but ultimately doesn't live up to its promise. Sad.
