Supernatural: All 15 seasons ranked from worst to best

2. Supernatural season 2

As the chilling curtains of the first season of Supernatural lift, audiences find themselves entranced by the tenacious Winchester brothers, and their deeply etched characters spring to life. Yet, it’s the second season that really serves as the bedrock for this spectral show, adding a great deal of story and depth to the character journeys.

In an adrenaline-fueled chase, Sam and Dean set their sights on the diabolical demon Azazel, who emerges as the centerpiece of villainy in the show’s overarching narrative. The resultant storyline, punctuated with thrilling confrontations and plot twists, unequivocally establishes the first five seasons as some of Supernatural‘s finest offerings. And season 2 is one of the best examples of that.

However, the second season isn’t merely about unearthing deeper layers of villainous intent. It also widens the horizons of the hunter’s realm, sketching new faces that rally alongside our beloved brothers. As the story unfolds, characters such as Bobby Singer, and mother-daughter duo Jo and Elle Harvelle surface from the shadows of the supernatural world. Each with their distinctive flair and courage, these characters effortlessly entwine themselves with the Winchester brothers’ journey. Their introduction not only intensifies the drama but also underscores the continuity of their roles, eventually rendering them indispensable to the supernatural universe, and most importantly, the pulsating heart of the show.
