There's nothing about the central family story in 'Supernatural or its bland actors that makes it addictive. It's horror rehash that never quite takes flight.
A series with a weekly horror story is intriguing, and the investigators being brothers, and on the wrong side of the law, makes it different from other programs on television.
So many true-to-life issues surface in this series that astute viewers will see it's much more than a pretty-boy drama (although the fact that the guys aren't bad to look at is a bonus).
