Supernatural relied on the chemistry and dynamic between Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) to propel the emotional journey of the fantasy TV show. While a large part of why fans and critics tuned into the series had to do with the action, adventure, and thrilling lore of the narrative, the character-driven drama is what set Supernatural apart. There are many episodes that delve into deeper, serious territory, especially when it comes to Dean's arc. Unlike Sam, Dean is always quicker to bury his true feelings, making it particularly impactful when he opens up.
