What a "Super" show!

          It's not an easy task to have 200 episodes and still be able to create new content that will keep people watching. Supernatural has done just that. It is in it's 10th season and has no plans to stop according to the show's producer Jeremy Carver. Many people have a lot to say about the show, I found three that we can discuss.

          The first critic is Sean McKenna. McKenna writes for TVfanatic.com and is very informal in his approach. He seems to reference other episodes of Supernatural in order to compare. I find that this is helpful in getting his message across since it's easier to relate and find similarities in the shows episodes. When he writes, he takes care to mention what he liked and how he reacted to certain punchlines or subtext. All in all, I think Sean McKenna is informal yet effective and I would read more of his reviews because they are relatable.

          The next critic is MaryAnn Sleasman from tv.com. MaryAnn talks to the audience, which I LOVE. The first thing she writes is "First of all: THEY DIDN'T SING. JENSEN ACKLES AND JARED PADALECKI DIDN'T SING AND I'M GRUMPY ABOUT IT." Jensen and Jared being the starts of the show. She uses humor and an informal "friend" approach which is very useful for me to keep in engaged in her writing. Along with her cute and quirky dialogue she will occasionally interject with her own thoughts in all capitals, "HOW MUCH IS YOUR GREAT AND TERRIBLE VISION WORTH, MARIE? ARE YOU READY TO SUFFER FOR YOUR ART?" I love Sleasman and her buddy-buddy approach to writing.

Last but not least we have Eric Thurm. Eric writes for the AV Club and seems to be the "Supernatural guy" as far as reviews go on the site. Thurm talks in a more formal voice, but not overly. He is all about informing about the show. He tends to point out what worked in the episode, and then continues to compare it to previous episodes that have done right in the same way. Although he talks about individual episodes he always is able to loop it around to the rest of the series along with underlying themes and references
scattered throughout. He breaks down the episode piece by piece and analysis it from start to finish. He finishes off by writing a section called "Stray Observations" where he talks about things he noticed.
