Here are the two biggest reasons this show sucks.
1.) The characters. This show is praised for showing brotherly love between the characters of Sam and Dean. While I will admit there is definitely a connection between these two characters, it can hardly be called love. When these two characters aren't hunting demons, they're constantly bickering and whining at each other and insulting each other. This can hardly be called love. I understand that siblings generally do like making fun of each other, but it's usually in jest and in a loving way. These two characters treat each other like garbage and they mean it. So the connection between these two characters sucks. But I bet you're wondering if they're at least good by themselves, aren't you? Nope. They suck by themselves, too.
Dean: I'll admit there can sometimes be some charm to a womanizing main character, but not when the character is constantly making jarringly unfunny sex jokes and going around doing it with every girl he meets. If this character maybe had some sort of, I don't know... what do you call it... HEART? He might be a little likable. But he's basically just a womanizing slut with no regard for anyone's feelings unless it's a hot chick with big boobs and blond hair. You'd think he'd really care about his little brother and want to protect him no matter what, but all he wants to do is make his little brother just as big a slut as he is.
Sam: Well. At least this character isn't SUCH a slut. He's got something of a heart, at least. But the problem with this character is that all he does is bitch and moan about how he wanted a normal life, and how his girlfriend died. Now, we can all sympathize with a dude who lost his girlfriend, and who wants to live a peaceful life, as long as he eventually stops complaining and becomes a stronger person. Sam never does. In fact, Sam even turns bad for awhile, which really makes his character plummet. Now there can be a certain interesting edge when your character have some flaws to them. But not to the point where every single one of them is an asshole. That's just unrealistic and it makes your characters unlikable to boot. Also, it's totally stupid how this character has DEMON BLOOD in him. Do you know how stupid that sounds? Other characters: Now, like in a lot of shows, the two brothers cross random people each day and help them purge evil demons from their houses. But all the people they meet are usually ALL THE SAME TYPE OF PERSON. They're all girls who are gorgeous and have blond hair. I swear they didn't save a single fat person in that show. All of the girls have the same type of personality, too. And the demons they encounter are all the same, too. They all have that same slutty personality and they're not even scary like they're supposed to be. There's always a stupid girl demon who comes onto Sam or Dean and tries to sensually make some stupid deal with them to bring back their dad. Even the male demons act like this. Even LUCIFER acts like this. The only likable character in this show is probably Bobby. He's a nice old man who actually cares about Sam and Dean and treats them decently. Also, even the angels are slutty and assholes. Yeah. It's pretty messed up.
2.) The story. The story in this had potential to be quite charming, but it even fails there. The biggest problem with the story is the pervading feeling of hopelessness. It just leaves you with a sad, icky, tired feeling after each episode. Because all of the characters are severely unlikable, and no one in this show can really be considered a good person, it just kind of like... yeah the world might end, but maybe it's for the best if every person in Heaven, Hell, and on Earth are assholes. Another problem with the story is that they ALWAYS have stupid hypothetical episodes about Sam and Dean's ideal lives. Now, one of these types of episodes is okay, and can even be quite interesting, but when it happens, like, more than ten times, it can become really annoying.
