Supernatural Seasons 1-5
The first five seasons of Supernatural (2005–2010) are widely regarded by fans and critics as the series' "Golden Age." Created and led by showrunner Eric Kripke

Dean returns from Hell traumatized, bearing deep psychological scars from the torture he endured—and eventually inflicted—in the pit. Meanwhile, Sam, operating under the manipulation of Ruby, has become addicted to drinking demon blood to augment his psychic powers, believing it is the only way to kill Lilith, the demon breaking the 66 Seals holding Lucifer captive.
