5 ‘Supernatural’ Episodes That Are Hidden Gems
Making the case for some of Supernatural’s lowest-rated episodes

Ask a group of Supernatural fans what their favourite episodes are and their lists will look pretty similar. “Mystery Spot”, “Swan Song”, “The French Mistake”, etc, etc.
I get it. They’re my favourites, too. And across the board, Supernatural has a great hit rate. Out of 327 episodes, only 73 have less than an 8.0 rating on IMDb (at time of writing, of course).
Some of these 73 episodes deserve their (relatively) low rating less than others. Five in particular deserve a second chance. Lucky for them, I’m here to present their cases.
Spoilers ahead.
