Amazon.co.uk Review
Three seasons into Supernatural and brothers Sam and Dean Winchester are still attracting trouble. For the pair have a talent for battling the kind of spirits and creatures that are best kept locked away in nightmares--and it’s fair to say their journey has taken its toll on them.

As we join them in the third season of Supernatural, their travels and adventures take in a mixture of increasingly intriguing threats and foes. Among the highlights is a man who has become trapped within his own mind, the day that Sam continually has to live over and over again (Groundhog Day style) and a sinister threat to Dean that underpins much of the series. Not forgetting a Christmas episode with a bit of a different feel to it than your usual festive special...

While the series was shortened a little due to the writers’ strike that was ongoing in America while it was being made, the sixteen episodes in this Supernatural boxset nonetheless offer ample entertainment. Cleverly weaving together action, comedy and horror, it builds and improves on the second season, and while it may rush things a little come the finale, it’s still a terrific and underrated programme. Here’s looking forward to season four. --Jon Foster

Synopsis
Dean and Sam Winchester are two brothers with a special talent. Well-versed in the supernatural after their father became convinced that their mother was captured by unholy spirits, Dean and Sam dedicated their young lives to hunting down these otherworldly terrors. But adulthood saw Sam drift away from these preternatural activities, instead choosing to settle down in a life of domestic bliss with his girlfriend. But when the Winchesters' dad goes missing, both Dean and Sam know what they have to do, leading to some epic cross-country trips as the brothers try to find their father. This release includes the complete third series.

Customer Reviews

outstanding series with extras
This box set consists of 5 discs, the full contingent of 16 episodes (damn the writers strike). With lots of extras. There is:

- a gag reel (although some of them are now looking staged for the purpose rather than true errors);

- a short film called from legacy to reality (look at the special effects);

- a featurette on the impala (metallicar history and how they kitted it out to make it special);

- a Ghostfacers confessional (I know that this isn't a popular episode with some but I like it);

- a number of "a closer look" featurettes (one for almost every episode);


Missing, however, are the commentaries and the "filming with Jensen and Jared" featurette, and extra blooper reel which my friend in the US said are on there's.

This is my favourite series (sorry CSI NY you came a close second).

Summary of show: Firstly (and obviously) this season 3 (if you haven't got them I would suggest that you purchase the first 2 seasons so you know what's happened and what's going on).

The deal that Dean made in "all hell breaks loose" is due for payment at the end of this season, and as we travel the road with Sam and Dean we watch them try to come to terms with what's going to happen. One again (as usual with Kripke productions) we see new characters introduced, the return of some favourites.

I have to say I like the idea of the demon Lilith, although Katie Cassidy's demon "Ruby" does tend to get on my nerves (and I can't put my finger on why). I did find that I 'sort of' liked the character of Bella.

Out of the episdes my personal favourites are:

#3 - Bad day at Black Rock - the boys find that dad, John, had a storage unit after it is broken in to (this is the only mention of it in this season). They then go in search of the missing item.

#11 - Mystery Spot - after the initial shock, when I realised what was going on, I started to laugh. Poor Dean.

#13 - Ghostfacers - Ed and Harry are back with a mickey take on Most Haunted et al.

I recommend Supernatural as my secret pleasure.

The best season of Supernatural
Finally this series has hit it's stride. I've seen all of the episodes on ITV2 and they are superb. The first series ripped off too many horror films for my liking and as a result it was very average. The two leads and the cool car kept me watching! The second season was a huge improvement but it still contained the odd clunker. The third series doesn't have a bad episode (the new charachters are well received) and it has a excellent season arc that continues from the season 2 finale. The central idea is that Dean will die in a year from now (the first episode of this series) Along the way we have a demented Christmas episode, a groundhog day style show, a Vampire hunter turned vampire, the seven deadly sins and much much more. My favourite episode is situated in a prison. Dean and Sam have been arrested and a horde of Demons is on it's way...first class

Supernaturaly brilliant
I've been a huge fan of Supernatural since my best mate forced me to watch the first series a year ago and I'm happy to admit I'm pretty obsessed! All three series are brilliant, I'm happily in love with Jensen Ackles, yum. This series is great also, not as heartbreakingly sad as series 2 but it has alot of humour, espeically 'bad day at black rock' and sams temper in 'mystery spot'.
I recommend this to all fans, and if you haven't sen it yet, order it now!
