Supernatural is an ongoing TV series that began in 2005.
It follows two 20-something brothers, who, following in their missing father's footsteps, travel across the United States to fight monsters and other supernatural villains, while trying to avenge their mother, who was killed by a demon when the younger of the two brothers was still an infant.
It is something of the anti-Buffy, where the men fight the monsters and dead women serve as their motivation (the heroes' mother, Sam's girlfriend) or living women act as their support (Ellen and Jo Harvelle). Although the series makes a few attempts at avoiding the damsel-in-distress cliché in its weekly storytelling, it is unabashedly patriarchal in its very premise. (There was even an episode that openly mocked Buffy fandom, by including clueless male geeks who wondered what Buffy would do in a given situation.)
The series's developing family drama and the emotional connection between the two brothers hides under a tough, roadtrip-and-rock'n'roll macho exterior.
Several fan writers have taken to slashing the two brothers, who are played by very handsome actors and share an intense relationship onscreen.
