This show continues to deliver
drprofessorsong22 February 2023
This episode does what The Winchesters does best. It combines genuine thrills with character beats that will make you cry.

I can't review this week without throwing laurels at the feet of Nida Khursid. Without revealing any spoilers, Lata has an incredible, show stopping moment in this episode and Nida delivered it deftly. She was genuinely heartbreaking.

Also kudos to Drake who continues to reveal a deep simmering rage and trauma just below the puppy dog exterior. I didn't think this show would ever make me love John, but watching his villain origin story has actually been incredible.

Throw in some lovely beats about found family and the ties that bind us together and the introduction of an intriguing new face, and this one was nonstop entertainment.

Two more episodes left and the mystery continues to deepen, but the first 11 leave me confident what this team has in store for us will be amazing.

"Ay dios mio..." this show sucks
JabezGill25 February 2023
To quote the cornily written, and cornily delivered, live from the police officer girl, " Ay dios mio."

"That's for Kyle, and that's for my son!"

It is like the writers copy and pasted the most stereotypical, cliche lines that they learned in their first semester of screenwriting class.

This show is in its first season and it is already awful... Supernatural was cheesy at times but the acting and writing was consistent... and the good episodes were great.

One of the biggest issues is that This show is so hellbent on making Latika and Carlos happen as main characters. They aren't. They are side characters that shouldn't get 50% of the episode for their own storylines. This show should be focused on... wait for it... THE WINCHESTERS... I think a weak spot of Supernatural was the lack of secondary characters... but The Winchester got it wrong but making 4 main characters. Too many people, not enough story.

It's just all poorly written as this episode shows. Nobody cares about Carlos, nobody cares about Latika... and to be honest the only reason anybody "cares" about John and Mary is because of who they are to the Supernatural series. Across the board the characters are written watery thin and generic.

Maybe that's why they're building towards bringing Jensen Ackles into the show. Is he the world's best actor? No, but he at least has the Charisma of a lead (something these 4 do not have) and crushes the role of Dean.
