Another secondary gum from CW Well, I overcame the first series of the series “Winchesters”.
It is unlikely that there will be spoilers, because this is the first episode of the next series from CW.
The creators (and among them Jensen Ackles) did not even start steaming with a tie and went on an already familiar path. The main character, Mary, her father goes hunting and disappears. This has never happened before, because their family is very close and they always go hunting together, and they have no secrets at all, which is why Mary begins to look for her father. The main character, John, also loses his father, only it is said that he has already died. Now, a guy with PTSD who has just returned from the front will have to reveal all the secrets that his father kept for many years.
Of course, the heroes accidentally met, and immediately a spark flashed between them. Now the guys have to uncover many ancient secrets, find out how their fathers are involved in this and, with luck, save the world from alien monsters. Such a difficult task can not be done without friends. Latika is a smart but fearful girl, Mary's father saved her life a year ago, and now she wants to repay in kind. Carlos - a very eccentric young man, probably bisexual - became a hunter after his entire family was killed by ghouls. I think it's a great team to save the world.
This is just my opinion on the show. That's bad. Even Jensen’s rare voiceover and pleasant musical accompaniment do not save. Pleasant flower color during the day, immersing us in the 70s is overshadowed by the terrible special effects of action. It is not interesting to watch, but probably not the picture is the main thing in such series. I think a lot of people loved Supernatural for the atmosphere, the interesting characters and, at first, the logic of the plot. In the Winchesters we have neither one nor the other nor the third. Of course, projects need to be revealed, but already now there are a huge number of questions. Am I the only one who got tired of stereotypical female characters? Mary is cool because she's all so cocky, confident, rough and tough, and then she turns out she's actually a very vulnerable person, but she's forced to do that because of who she is. Walking cliché. You can make such a character, but interestingly, to beat the characteristics of the character, and not serve everything on a platter. John seems more interesting, and let’s face it, the actor looks something like a young Jared Padalecki.
In general, to play on the feeling of nostalgia did not work. It is difficult to perceive this as a separate project, but if you try, the series still seems raw, weak and with notes of speculation in the already beloved world.
