In 2005, a story about two brothers searching for their father while they went up against ghosts, demons, and all manners of creatures that go bump in the night premiered on the WB. When the WB became the CW, Supernatural moved to the new network, its mythology expanded, and it became the longest-running WB series on the CW. After 15 seasons, it's comes to an end.
Thanks to websites that compile both critical and audience reviews like Rotten Tomatoes, fans can look back and see just which seasons were most loved. Supernatural, even with its ups and downs over the years, has an average series score of 93% from critics, and one of 84% from the audience. The audience has rated these ten seasons of the show the best.
10 Season 8: 79%
One of the most fascinating parts of Supernatural is just how it tackles its own mythology when it comes to angels. Their story gets significantly expanded in the eighth season as Dean Winchester returns to Earth from Purgatory, and Castiel finds himself resurrected and used by another angel to achieve her own ends.
This season also sees Sam and Dean cross paths with their grandfather as the man uses a time travel spell to get to the future, expanding on the story of the Men Of Letters, which becomes a big story point for the show moving forward.
9 Season 6: 80%
The fifth season marked the end of original showrunner Eric Kripke's plan for the series. With the sixth season, the story picked up a year later, revealing Dean attempting to live a normal life, but unable to when Sam returns from Hell.
Over the course of 22 episodes, Dean discovers that, though his brother has returned to him, his soul hasn't come with him, and he formulates a plan to get it back. Castiel also becomes a surprising antagonist as he works in the background with Crowley to release all of the souls from Purgatory so that he can absorb them and take over the role of God himself. It provides the right balance of mythology-based episodes and a focus on the relationship between the two brothers.
8 Season 11: 82%
The eleventh season of Supernatural is all about The Darkness, also known as Amara. Expanding on the show's mythology surrounding God, Amara is revealed to be God's sister, and she wants revenge for being banished.
The season-long struggle sees the Winchesters turn to Lucifer for help, who uses Castiel as a host. Angels and demons even unite in the struggle against Amara, though she eventually reconciles with her brother - and even grants one of Dean's biggest wishes. The season ends with Amara resurrecting Sam and Dean's mother, moving the show into some new territory for the following seasons.
7 Season 9: 84%
Another season that focuses on the conflict amongst angels, this one sees two separate factions going after Castiel. With Castiel having previously lost his grace, he has no angelic power, forcing him to live as a human and making him vulnerable.
Sam and Dean differ on how to handle multiple situations, causing them to go their separate ways. Their separation causes them to take desperate courses of action. Dean decides to get the Mark Of Cain to give himself the power to wield the First Blade against an enemy, but it has serious consequences - including him being turned into a demon at the end of the season.
6 Season 1: 88%
For a lot of long-running television series, the first season is not ranked near the top. The first complete story arc of Supernatural, however, is looked upon extremely fondly by fans.
Originally, Supernatural kicks off with monster-of-the-week episodes as Sam and Dean search for their missing father. Raised with a dad who hunted supernatural creatures and tracked down urban legends, Sam wants no part of the hunt, while Dean is following in his father's footsteps. It causes a lot of tension between the two, but they bond over the course of the season.
5 Season 10: 88%
Though Dean begins the tenth season as a demon working for Crowley, Castiel and Sam find a way to make him human again. The Mark of Cain, however, proves to make things difficult for Dean throughout the season as he gives into his darkness repeatedly.
While Dean's struggle is the big story of the season, it's also known for introducing a fan-favorite villain: Rowena. The witch turns out to be Crowley's mother, and it's Rowena that rids Dean of the Mark of Cain, releasing the villain that comes into play the next season.
4 Season 2: 93%
If the first season of Supernatural introduces the audience to the Winchester brothers, it's the second season that really sets the foundation for the show. In it, the brothers track the demon Azazel, who is the primary antagonist in the early seasons.
The season also expands the world of the hunters, introducing several allies for Sam and Dean. Season two brings the Harvelles, Ash, and Bobby to the fray who become huge parts of the show moving forward.
3 Season 4: 94%
The big arc of Supernatural's fourth outing is Lilith attempting to break the 66 seals that will allow Lucifer to walk the Earth. Castiel is also introduced as he rescues Dean from Hell and tries to help the Winchesters prevent Lilith from succeeding.
Sam and Dean, as is par for the course, find themselves on opposite sides of a big issue - even though their goal is the same. Dean is worried about Sam embracing his darker side, and Sam thinks he can control his darker side, that it's a risk he needs to take to stop Lilith. Lilith does eventually succeed in her plan, having used Ruby to manipulate Sam right into her path. The end of the season brings Lucifer to the series in the flesh.
2 Season 5: 94%
Originally, many fans believed the fifth season would be the last of the show. It is Eric Kripke's last season as the showrunner, and the last season of the original story plan for the series.
With Lucifer released from his cage at the end of the fourth season, this one sees the Winchesters try to stop him on earth. Sam is meant to become Lucifer's vessel, while Dean is meant to become the angel Michael's. Both brothers try to avoid their fate as much as possible, but nothing works out the way they want it to. Their half-brother ends up as Michael's vessel, while Sam gives his own body to Lucifer, using his own body to trap Lucifer in his cage all over again.
1 Season 3: 95%
The highest-rated season of Supernatural also happens to be the shortest. With just 16 episodes, it was shortened from the original 22 as a result of the 2007 writer's strike. That shortened season seems to work in the fans' favor.
In season two, Dean makes a deal that would send his soul to Hell a year later. Much of the third season is spent trying to make sure that Dean doesn't wind up in Hell. This brings about the introduction of Ruby, who claims to be able to find a way out of Dean's contract. It also introduces the idea of Lilith - because she holds the contract on Dean's soul. The season even features an homage to fairy tales in "Bedtime Stories" that remains a fan favorite episode full of Easter eggs.
