Absolutely wonderful series to watch and rewatch over and over. The Pilot began it all with a compelling storyline which after 15 seasons led us to the beautiful, bittersweet Finale where our two handsome brothers reunited in a moving embrace. An unforgettable masterpiece thanks to Sam and Dean.

When you give showrunners who already ran a show into the ground, aka Batwoman, a new toy to play with, all one can expect are the same results. Atrocious writing, teen characters with zero appeal or charisma, cheap sets and confused storylines. Gotham Knights ticks all these boxes and like Batwoman, fated for cancellation.

All they had to do to make a good prequel to SPN was to follow canon. John and Mary were brought together by a Cupid's arrow. From there we could have followed their courtship and marriage, meeting new characters along the way, up until Mary dies and John finds out about the supernatural. We could have been introduced to the younger versions of the characters we knew on the show, such as Pastor Jim, Caleb, Ellen and her husband, Missouri, a younger Bobby and of course kid Sam and Dean. Following canon would have been far more engaging than the ridiculous, confusing, bland and boring show that is The Winchesters. I can't quite understand why Jensen would have signed off on such an inferior show compared to the awesome Supernatural. The casting was bad, the story-lines unengaging and the writing worse than what many fanfiction stories contain. A failure on all front, imo.
