'Supernatural': Why even after 300 episodes fans still tune in to see Sam and Dean Winchester in action

If you wonder what has kept fans returning to Supernatural episode after episode, season after season then the answer is very obvious: family.  

As diehard fans of ‘Supernatural,’ most of us have grown up with Sam and Dean Winchester over the last fourteen years, and now with the thirteenth episode of the current season fast approaching, there is a monumental landmark to remind us for just how long we have loved this show. Season 14 episode 13 of ‘Supernatural’ also marks the 300th episode of The CW show, and with this moment just around the corner, one can’t help but wonder what has kept us returning to this show episode after episode, season after season then the answer is very obvious: family.  

Critics have accused the show of churning out similar content over the years and having really stretched the realm of supernatural, having sent either or both of the Winchesters to hell, heaven, purgatory, the Veil and even an alternate universe. However, us fans, have stuck with the hunter brothers from their 20s to now family men and, which reinstates the idea of family that the show has instilled.
