What Supernatural Season Is The Best For a Rewatch (And Why It’s Season 2)

Summary:

• Supernatural is The CW horror mystery show that aired from 2005 to 2020.
• The show followed two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchesters, on the quest to fight supernatural activity all over the States.
• Fans believe that the best season of the show to watch separately is season 2.

There are certainly some downsides to being a fan of a long-running TV show like Supernatural. While the 15 seasons are more than enough material for just about any fan edit you might want to make or fanfiction you might want to write, watching such shows from beginning to end can be a challenging task.

Considering how many people got into Supernatural as teenagers and young adults with not many responsibilities in life other than their studies, rewatching all 15 seasons now may simply be too time-consuming to even think about.

Besides, as with any show that crosses a decade threshold, the quality of later seasons doesn't compare to earlier ones.

This is exactly why the fandom is set up to believe that if you are going to re-watch a particular season of the show, it has to be season 2.

What Is The Best Season Of Supernatural?

According to the original idea of the show's mastermind Eric Kripke, Supernatural had to end with Season 5.

This is why the last episode of the season feels so final and why Kripke himself left the team behind the show. Many viewers tend to think that the first 5 seasons were the best in terms of quality.

If you were to watch Supernatural again, you would probably want the nostalgic feel of the Winchester brothers' banter without overcomplicated season arcs and an army of supporting characters to help the main characters along their journey.

That, plus the adrenaline rush of some truly scary stories and creatures, is what the old Supernatural was all about.

If you want to re-watch a season, it has to be of the highest quality. Among Supernatural seasons 1 through 5, there are only two seasons that managed to get a 100% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, seasons 2 and 5.

While season 5 also received a 76% rating from audiences, season 2 easily takes the lead with a 95% rating.

Of course, the choice of the perfect rewatch season would differ from one's personal opinion on the arcs and the nostalgic feelings one shares for some of the specific storylines. For fans of Dean and Crowley's hilarious banter, the perfect rewatch might be season 10, and for those who love Charlie, seasons 7 or 8 would always be the best.

However, according to the voice of the majority, there's no other season that manages to give you as many nostalgic feelings while remaining impressively great in tears of quality as season 2.

If you're already sold on the idea of rewatching, go ahead and stream whatever season of Supernatural your heart desires on Netflix.
