The thrills, the chemistry, and the stunning performances all help create a highly entertaining environment. It is this environment that carries the second season of Supernatural to an extraordinary season finale, which more than satisfies audiences by tying up loose ends and opening the door to an even greater third season.

Special Features:

The second season set offers some fairly decent bonus features but ultimately does not match to the quality of the show itself. All the deleted scenes included in the set are pointless, offering essentially nothing to both devout fans and virgin viewers. Only three of the twenty-two episodes contain commentary tracks. Sadly, only two of those commentary tracks are worth listening to. These poor excuses for bonus content unfortunately hinder one’s ability to be satisfied with the few valuable features.

Jared Padalecki’s original screen test for the role of Sam is one of these few bonus features of value. Although the video quality is not very good, it is interesting to see the effort that helped Padalecki land the role. The set’s gag reel proves to be an even more enjoyable viewing. It captures several botched takes, pranks executed between the cast and crew, and a hilarious collection of clips of Jensen Ackles eating for his role as the always hungry Dean.

The greatest accomplishment within the bonus features is surely a featurette entitled “The Devil’s Road Map”. The documentary covers the origins of every monster featured in the second season of the series. It also offers behind-the-scenes looks at the many facets of the show’s production. Lastly, it includes an incredible making-of video feature focused on the season’s explosive finale.

Supernatural maintains its genre bending style in its second season and grows into a monster of a series. Forgive the lacking special features and give this sure hit a chance.
