Supernatural

Saw a trailer in the cinema yesterday for a new show coming soon to ITV2 called Supernatural. I think it was described as a sexy horror. Does anyone know anything about it as the trailer looked pretty good?

Its a good show, two brothers travel the country looking for their father and helping other people who have paranormal problems (ie ghosts, spirits, etc....)

I really enjoy this show.

I caught this last night and it was actually a bit scary. Quite suprised as I've not found anything particulary scary since X-Files first aired way back when, hope it continues!

Hi,

"Supernatural" starts on terrestrial TV tonight, on ITV1 at 11pm-Midnight! However, I've heard that the show isn't that great - very Teenager oriented, and hence, not very scary. Kind of "The X-Files" meets "The OC"!

I didn't find it interesting enough. Will probably give the second episode a go next week but after that 24 will be on at the same time and there's no competition there imo

I'd advise you to stick with the show as it does get better with each episode, some of the episodes also nicely 'rip-off' some latter day horror flicks, too. I wouldn't describe it as a "Sexy Horror", unless of course you are female, then I guess it is . It also looks and sounds fantastic in HD with 5.1 sound.

Song sounds like 'Killing Moon' by Echo and the Bunnymen....a very fine song!

Watched this last night and enjoyed it.

I was worried it might be aimed at the younger end of the audience, but it seemed pretty adult orientated to me. Plenty of action, and a few laughs thrown in as well.

Must admit I preferred it to Invasion and Surface so far

Ian.

I'm of the same opinion regarding Invasion and Surface.

And just how sexy was The Woman In White (Sarah Shahi)?

I'm definitely not a fan of the horror genre, but the first episode was such good drama (regardless of genre) that I'll keep watching for the time being. I just hope it won't be too scary (!) and that there will be some good continuing story arcs, as I'm less keen on single-episode stories. More stuff on the fate of their parents would be appreciated.

Im with the above comments I enjoyed it, and look forwards to more episodes. Far better than Invasion.

I don't know whether it was because I was in a better mood than last week but I really enjoyed tonights episode. Starting to like the two brothers and I'm intrigued to find out more about what happened in the past regarding their Parents. Will definately be watching next week and be recording the rest

Yes, another thumbs up from me again. The budget must have been cut from the pilot as the affects quota was a lot less than the pilot but it still managed to look and feel like a creepy show. Liked the tech culture references in the camp too, good stuff.
