Don't let people oversell you on the show, particularly if you're a feminist, it is one of those shows where occasionally you need to turn your brain off because it's really not a female empowerment type of show.

I like it because I love Supernatural themes and the show doesn't take itself too seriously, I in turn don't take it that seriously but it can be addicting as hell and a lot of fun to watch.

It's really just something you need to see and judge for yourself.

Thanks for the honest encouragement. :)

It's not like I'm unable to watch a show with a predominantly male cast. Hell, I love Red Dwarf for starters and it only started to suck when a woman was added to the main cast (though that's more to do with the type of show it was and how that just didn't work). But it's mainly shows with a lot of action where men do most of the fighting and heroic deeds while women are either damsels in distress or love interests (or both) that put me off a lot.

But hey; I love supernatural shows and good to know it doesn't take itself too seriously - something which I really would not have got from all the media and advertising with the whole "badass stoic manly men in leather and trenchcoats" imagery. Will teach me not to judge a book by its cover. ;)

I'm with you on a lot of that, but heck some of the Supernatural females actually were kickass, the main reason it gets a lot of slack is because females just don't tend to LAST on the show (and it also does fall into the love interest trope a lot, which I'm not a fan of) but if you view the show for what it is- a story about two brothers, then females not playing a major part starts to not feel as bothersome.

And I wouldn't call it too manly either, a lot of the story is about Dean and Sam and just how many EMOTIONS they have. That's actually, outside of the supernatural aspects, what drew me to the show- I like stories about tight family bonds.
