I am only on episode 2, but I can definitely agree with other reviewers that it's not as attention grabbing as Supernatural was at its beginning. Also, it is way campier than the original show, I also agree with the Scooby Doo feel. That said, I'm hoping it'll pick up in the next few episodes.
I think part of the problem is the very obvious deviation from what we know of the Winchester family lore. However I do trust that Jensen knows what he is doing and I'm hoping that we will learn why the changes to Mary and Johns story were made. Also people are assuming that Dean is telling the story to us the audience, but as of episode 2 we technically don't know who Dean is actually writing/telling the story to.
I do wish they had brought back Matt Cohen, and Amy Gumenick to reprise their roles, I really miss their interpretations of these roles. However, I once read a theory on Pinterest that the way the characters look when we get glimpses of flashbacks from Sam and Dean is their perspective. This again makes me think that we are not Deans intended audience. Perhaps we are catching the perspective of the reader/listener of the story. We also asume that this is our Dean and that he's on earth, but maybe he is in heaven, or maybe this is a parallel universe so again maybe the changes to the story are valid. I suppose only time will tell. Here's hoping that we get some of these issues addressed as the story progresses.
