The long-running and beloved television series Supernatural has had its fair share of memorable season finales. Fans on Reddit recently gathered to discuss and rank their top five best and worst finales in the series’ 15-season run. Here’s a recap of the most popular choices:
Best Supernatural Season Finales
- Season 2 Finale – Dean kills the yellow-eyed demon, a highly emotional and impactful moment in the series. Fans appreciate Dean’s vulnerability and heroism in this finale.
- Season 5 Finale – Sam sacrifices himself to save the world, with Dean struggling to move on afterward. Fans consider this finale the “masterpiece” of the show, as it concludes the original story arc planned by creator Eric Kripke.
