Supernatural and More

Last season on Supernatural we had a sibling rivalry between God and his sister. How can the twelfth season, premiering tomorrow night top that?  I expect the brothers have a few more tricks up their sleeves.  

And if you are looking for more supernatural tales, tomorrow you can also watch USA's Falling Water that follows the dreams of three people. 

Here is the setup:

An intersection between reality and unconscious thought, Falling Water is the story of three unrelated people, who slowly realize that they are dreaming separate parts of a single common dream. Each is on a quest for something that can only be found in their subconscious. However, the more they begin to use the dream world as a tool to advance their hidden agendas they realize that their visions are trying to tell them something more, and that their very real lives are at stake.

This may remind you a little of Sense8, a Netflix series about connected minds. But that may be where the similarity ends. In fact, Yahoo News believes the summary above is as clear as it will get:

The plot is so dense and muddled that Bill has to explain, with a Bond-villain’s wealth of self-incriminating detail, how exactly all the shared dreaming works. Perhaps, if one took copious notes, consulted the show website’s “About” page, and discussed each element thoroughly in a subReddit, the convolutions in “Falling Water” would yield rewards. As it is, it’s hard to imagine finding the time for this dull, plodding thought experiment.

Not a very good start.  Maybe I will stick with Supernatural.
