I love Supernatural! I've seen every single episode to date. The recent episode on the mythological gods was epic. I didn't expect that twist on the show; I suppose the twist with mythological gods makes the show stand up to its name 'Supernatural': Now the show is actually about a universe in the perspective of Sam and Dean Winchester where every supernatural belief in 'reality' is true.
answer to your question: My favorite shows presume the supernatural is out there but unknown to most people - 'Medium', 'Supernatural', and even 'Fringe' has its supernatural elements. I don't know why I enjoy these shows so much. Perhaps I think of them as more of a satire of reality than something I should take seriously as many people do when they watch shows based on supernatural ideas. My mom actually thinks demons are out there in the world and she would probably imagine them as they appear in 'Supernatural'. I remember watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose with some classmates and they found themselves determined in the existence of evil using the argument 'if good exists, evil must exist' I tried to explain the true background of exorcisms in reality and explain that their argument is a distortion of what in viewed as 'good' in our daily lives since 'good' deeds or behavior whatever is not manifested as an angel destroying a demon and we've never really seen someone spin their head 360 degrees. I was so excited to explain all the details that I appeared more crazy and unstable than the movie at the time.
