Supernatural: Season 11 [Blu-ray]
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
In the show’s tenth season, Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles) faced their most personal threat yet. The all-powerful Mark of Cain threatened to consume Dean, turning him into one of the monsters he has spent his life hunting. Meanwhile, a formidable witch, Rowena (Ruth Connell), rose to power to claim her position at the right hand of the King of Hell, Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard). Once Rowena revealed herself to be Crowley’s mother, the King was forced to choose between his family and the Winchesters — all while Sam, with the help of fallen angel Castiel (Misha Collins), Crowley and some unlikely allies, waged a desperate battle to save Dean from the Mark of Cain. Taking matters into his own hands, Dean paid a terrible price to break free of the curse, but with Death defeated and Darkness freed upon the Earth, the Winchesters will need all the help they can get.
As cautious as I am going to be, its possible this review contains spoilers.
At the end of season ten, when the darkness was unleashed, I had high hopes for season eleven. It definitely has it a high points, but let me start where it’s lacking. First, the dragging thru the first few episodes felt like filler. I understand the concept behind what they were trying to do, but it just felt blah. Second, the darkness and Dean’s connection just wasn’t well portrayed. I just wasn’t getting the vibe that they had any chemistry, and personally, the actress who plays the darkness was average at best. So far all the characters in the series seemed to be played well by their actors/actresses, but the performance of the darkness just seemed lacking.
Neither of these took away from the season in my opinion for a few reasons. First, Misha Collins new role was exceptional. He has portrayed every part in this show impeccably, but this may be my all time favorite. Second, the introduction/ reintroduction of an old character who most were sure fell out of existence (no spoilers here but every one knows who I mean) was the pivotal moment the season was leading up to. Seeing them last season, I knew something big was coming, and it hit the nail on the head. Third, the show still manages to stick to its roots. I love the new monsters, that’s what hooked me in the beginning and it still entices me today. I love the laughs I still get, I think they are more prominent as the seasons go by. I love the general feels from this show, the roller coaster of emotions. Last but never least, Jim Beavers tolkien episode always reminds me of the good old days. I hope they keep that up thru the course of the show.
Overall, I was highly impressed. The great outweighed the minimal amount of bland and I’m looking forward to owning season twelve.- ElizAGrBo
I feel this show gets better and better every season. It’s no different than most shows, as the main idea of the show repeats throughout the seasons, but unlike a lot of recent series, this one continues to find new, engaging trials and tribulations for the two heroes, alongside their normal “Saving people, hunting things” ethos. Not to mention the great blend of comedy, drama, suspense, and character building that makes this series worthy of all of the Netflix binge memes it has spawned. The menus/episodes are easily accessible, unlike some TV series DVD’s, there’s some good extras, including a pretty funny gag reel, and for buying it right when it came out, I felt I got a good price on it.- Someguy
