Review

I saw the pilot last night and was very happy with the production team. David Nutter who was involved on the XFiles hence giving Supernatural that "XFilesish tone" is a fantastic director. He is a veteran of this field having directed XFiles Roswell Dark Angel Smallville Disturbing Behavior Millennium etc. One of the producers McG has produced The OC and has directed both Charlies Angels movies. Jared and Jensen are placed in roles they are familiar with Jared is playing Sam a character who seems to be a tougher version of Dean his character from the Gilmore Girls. Jensen is playing Dean a character who is extremely close to being a human clone of his sarcastic character from Dark Angel Alec. Opening a WB show with such great effects scores big with me not giving anything away the special effects are what Nutter and his team are capable of. Sarah Shahi as a guest star was icing on the cake. The only problem I see with the show is the fact that it is not geared towards the main demographic of the OC and Gilmore Girls (which airs in the time slot before Supernatural) and it may turn away a group of older viewers who may really enjoy it. As long as they dont call it the "teen XFiles" or "Buffy meets Twin Peaks" it will be fine. Trying to make Roswell be the next "Buffy" ruined the show and it would be a shame to ruin Supernatural.
