When a television series opens its new season with a lead character crawling out of his grave after escaping Hell itself, one cannot help but wonder: how will the rest of the episodes ever follow that? In the case of Supernatural's fourth season, the answer comes from above with the introduction of Misha Collins's Castiel, an angel dispatched to rescue Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) from infernal torment and reunite him with brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) for a very special mission. That quest--to stop the demonic Lilith from opening the 66 seals required to bring Lucifer to Earth and launch the Apocalypse--forms the backbone of the 22 episodes, which takes some fairly adventurous risks with the core of the show. Chief among these is the rift that deepens between Dean and Sam as they attempt to work together, despite their divergent destinies; also agreeable is the season's tonal shift away from its previous Monster of the Week format (though that's still intact for many episodes) and toward a single, more ambitious story and thematic arc. The sea change deepens the show's drama, intensifies the level of suspense and stakes in each episode, and pushes it several big steps away from its teen-friendly origins. Of course, there's still plenty of the show's trademark irreverence and humor to be found, especially in the clever "Monster Movie," which pits the brothers against a Shapeshifter that takes the form of classic movie fiends, and "The Monster at the End of This Book," where Sam and Dean discover a comic book with plot lines very similar to their own lives. By the time Supernatural's fourth season reaches its cliffhanger ending with "Lucifer Rising" (the title neatly sums up the plot), viewers should be fairly hungering for the next episode--a good sign that a veteran series is still hitting its stride. Extras on the six-disc set include commentary for three episodes: "In the Beginning," with executive producer Eric Kripke and writer Jeremy Carver; "When the Levee Breaks," with director Robert Singer and writer Sara Gamble; and "Lucifer Rising" with Kripke. Extended scenes are also available for several episodes, and the features are rounded out by a trio of somewhat ponderous featurettes on the concepts of Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell, as depicted in scenes from the show and discussed by its writers, theologians, paranormal investigators, and the like. Clocking in between 10 and 25 minutes apiece, the docs feel padded and somewhat undernourished in the information department. However, they're unlikely to detract from one's enjoyment of this stellar season. --Paul Gaita

OMG this is great November 22, 2009
Samantha Holmes (Cupertino, CA)
I stumbled upon this series a few months ago and it was like discovering Star Trek the first time. Did they make this series just for me? It has plenty to offer everyone from some great one liners and physical comedy to chilling stories that make you remember what a good old horror movie was about.
The Winchester boys, Dean (Jensen Ackles) the elder and Sam (Jared Padalecki) the younger have seen their relationship evolve and besides one lapse on the writers side to make Sam do something a lot of people what "what the hell was he thinking" I think they jabbed and joked around like only brothers could. The funniest thing is that Sam is the responsible one, and Dean who pretty much raised Sam as their father was absent has regressed into a pretty fun hedonistic character. And yet he is the one that gets allied with the Angels while Sam, the one who prayed and tried so hard to do right was the one slipping in with the demons.
Although each episode does stand on its own most time, if you really want to enjoy the series start at the beginning. If you are into this type of action adventure (horrors-que) with great brotherly interactions this is show for you.
Most awesome show ever! November 22, 2009
Borge Eiring (usa)
The fourth season of supernatural is one of the crazyest seasons yet. Sam and dean are no longer fighting just evil spirits, warewolfs and such, they are now fighting for the truth! The truth about how Dean came out of hell. Is he still Dean? And most importantly which side will they choose when heaven and hell are brought in to the mix. And sam is practising his demon.blood powers and the season is the sickest one yet!
 Supernatural Season 4 November 17, 2009
Rita Fowlkes (Tulsa, Okla)
I thought the first season was a little moronic and too teenage like. However, I stuck with the show and kept watching and it is greatly improved. It is a little scary, but a good bottom story about the brothers and their Dad is worth watching.
 Too Far Afield? November 16, 2009
Mr. Steven N. Downie (UK now Florida :D)
Is this fourth season moving too far afield concentrating as it does on an approaching Armageddon and war between putative Angels and trafficking with Demons? I personally preferred the first seasons where the emphasis was on Ghostbusting although the story threads are now deeper (and I would guess offend some people).
Production values remain unchanged and it's still a good 'watch' if you're into this type of programme but i'd like to see a return of the humorous aspects evident in the earlier series.
Either way - if you enjoyed the first three series, you'll still enjoy the fourth, but maybe not as much.
Jump the Shark? No way! November 2, 2009
Christine Thompson (Scotand)
I don't know how they do it but Season 4 of Supernatural is as good, if not better than the first 3. Angels, Demons, Ghostfacers...this series has genuine scares and yes, you will be shouting at the TV in despair (SAM!! - D'oh!!), but you will also be laughing too. The episode where the brothers discover a series of books have been written about them is just superb - especially the "slash" fan revelation...
Loved it, can't wait for series 5.
