Supernatural: Complete Second Season DVD Review (2007)

(Originally published 2007)

Delivers what its title promises and then goes a step farther--it improves upon the first season.

Jared Padalacki and Jensen Ackles return as Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers working through a traumatic past--their mother was viciously killed by a monster, grisly depicted in the first season.

Now, the family business is in hunting down ghosts, particularly the elusive one who killed their mother.

The season opens with Sam, Dean and their father, John (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), all recovering from a car accident that's about to take Dean's life when John makes a deal with the devil that alters the course of those events, particularly when he unleashes a secret.

What ensues is the supernatural at every turn. Urban legends abound, as does a fair measure of brotherly angst.
