Supernatural: The Fifteenth and Final Season

Disclaimer: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided us with a free copy of this Blu-ray/DVD that we reviewed in this blog post. The opinions we share are our own.

“Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles), along with the angel Castiel (Misha Collins), have battled gods, demons, mythical creatures and monsters in a seemingly unending quest to save the world. But in the Apocalyptic final battle, they face off against God Himself, triggering God’s decision to end this reality forever. Over 20 extraordinary episodes, the legendary Winchester brothers reach the end of their long, wayward road trip after a lifetime of hunting thing and saving people. In other words…the family business.”

After 15 seasons, Supernatural is finally coming to an end on the CW. Sam and Dean’s adventures battling mythical creatures and demons has been a rollercoaster ride, to be sure, but with the success of this long-running show and its dedication to its fans that seem to be more loyal than most shows, this will be a series that will be missed by many. Season 15 pulls out all the stops as they face down God himself, raising the stakes with reality as we know it in jeopardy.

If the success of this show can be measured by anything, it’s definitely by the fans, who have stuck with the show over such a long period of time. From conventions to the fan-fiction, Supernatural has stuck around longer than I would have thought it would have. To say that fans deserved a good send off is an understatement, and I believe they were able to accomplish just that.
