Those who have watched previous seasons of Supernatural  know the vigorous roller coaster of emotions we experienced during season fourteen. After season thirteen’s shocking finale, fans were left with a jaw-dropping question: what is going to happen to Dean? Season Fourteen is gripping and it has you on the edge of your seat the entire season. It consists of twenty episodes as it slowly leads up to a major plot twist that no one was expecting, leaving for an epic season finale. Supernatural is the longest-running live-action sci-fi fantasy series. It tells the tale of two brothers and their angel friend, taking on all of America’s darkest monsters. The show starts with the brothers Sam and Dean trying to find their father who has disappeared on a hunt, while the angel Castiel, does not appear until season four episode one. The trio has been called Team Free Will (Dean, Sam, Castiel) by fans since season five when Dean jokingly nicknamed them. “Team Free Will. One ex-blood junkie, one dropout with six bucks to his name, and Mr. Comatose over there. Awesome.” 

 The show is addicting for those who love a good binge-watch, how’s three hundred and seven episodes sound? Those who love horror, emotional tearjerkers, hot guys and mysterious but complicated storylines, Supernatural is the show for you because this one has it all.

The show was written and directed by Eric Kripke until season five when it was taken over by a few other writers. Supernatural’s main cast is Jared Padelecki (Sam Winchester) Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester), and Misha Collins (Castiel).  It has a very loyal and occult following of fans who have been watching for years and still can’t get enough of the boys, I sure can’t! 

In the premiere of season fourteen, Dean is possessed by the archangel Michael as the rest of Team Free Will try to save him before Michael destroys our world using his body, just to get back at his father. “Because he doesn’t care! About you, me, anything. Now, at first, I thought I’d do it better. Show him. Be more God than God. But now? I just wanna burn every one of his little worlds until I catch up to the old man.” Michael said in a confrontation with Castiel when he was still occupying Dean’s vessel. 

The quotes, the plot twists and the emotions that were expressed made the season. One of the best parts about it was Jensen Ackles getting to play two characters (Michael and Dean) when he is known to only play Dean. He did a phenomenal job playing this new and complicated character. One thing the writers could have done better is lengthen Michael’s reign of terror as it was a huge plot altering point for Dean. Yet Michael was only seen a total of seven episodes out of the twenty.   

Putting that aside, the season is one of the best it’s ever made. Which makes me both excited and unhappy for the shows series finale. If season fifteen is anything like season fourteen, it’s going to be an epic conclusion I have been waiting years to see. I’m not prepared!
