How much you are going to like that show depends how quickly you can pick up on sly self-referential humor and how many "serious" episodes you watch before a "silly" one appears.

I stumbleds across it as a Netflix binge watch from the first episode and almost gave up before I got the insider stuff.

Best way to get somebody to like that show is make the watch 3-4 "straight" episodes and then the one (can't remember the exact s/e #) where they end up in their own studio lot in the reeal world.

The dialogue is better than most stuff on TV. More real. Yeah, I think a show about monster-hunting brothers has more "real" dialogue than almost anything else on TV.

I love the show about the angel who "unsunk" the Titanic because he hated Celine Dion and her signature song. And the one where they are in a parallel universe as actors in a TV show about hunters. And the Christmas Special with the wreaths. Good times.
