10 TV Shows You Should Stop Watching Before The Final Season

Remember the days when all the blogs and fan-sites were going crazy over the Winchester brothers? When all the edgy teenage girls on Tumblr were wearing pentagrams and deciding that all they wanted in life was a 1967 Chevy Impala?

Those were simpler times. Happier times.

Supernatural first hit screens in 2005, and boy oh boy did we have no idea how big it would turn out to be. Flash forward fifteen years and we are just now on its final season, though if we’re all going to be honest with ourselves we know they really should’ve bought things to a close about five seasons ago.

The series finale is set to air on 19 November, meaning that finally after FIFTEEN seasons we’re going to stop beating this dead horse.

For the first few seasons, Supernatural was a fun, slightly spooky and dorkishly loveable show about two brothers trying to save people from monsters. There were attractive people dealing with interesting monsters, there were boys with daddy issues, there was a spectacular classic rock soundtrack. What wasn’t to love?

Sadly, as things went on the series fell victim to its own tropes: it got repetitive and predictable and some convoluted and eventually consequenceless storylines left the show with little of the magic it originally held.

For the most part, there’s no huge end-point that you’re waiting for through most of the series, instead there’s smaller events that often rely on an end-of-season cliffhanger. Because of this you can drop out whenever you please, so if you’re just in it for some folklore and monster-hunting fun then you’ll probably find your investment coming to a natural end around season six or seven.
