Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) The Righteous Man. A blue-collar hero who masks a traumatic childhood with classic rock, cheap food, and a sarcastic wit. His journey from loyal soldier to a man willing to say "No" to Heaven defines the series.
Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) The Boy with the Demon Blood. The sensitive intellectual who yearns for a normal life but is trapped by a dark destiny. His struggle against his own nature drives the central conflict of the show.
Castiel (Misha Collins) The Rebel Angel. Introduced in Season 4, he is a soldier of Heaven who learns to love humanity more than his orders. His friendship with Dean provides the show's moral compass. Supernatural Seasons 1-5
Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) The Surrogate Father. A gruff, no-nonsense hunter who provides the brothers with the home and guidance their father never could.

The Weaknesses:
Conclusion: Seasons 1 through 5 of Supernatural represent a complete artistic statement. It is a story about two brothers in a beat-up car fighting destiny, devils, and angels. It is scary, funny, and deeply sad. Whether you watch the subsequent seasons or stop at "Swan Song," this five-season run remains a masterpiece of modern genre television.
