A commercial long-running television series and Prime Time Emmy nominee, Supernatural follows the lives of the Winchester brothers Sam and Dean battling both the holy and unholy adapting and reworking elements of religion and mythology into contemporary settings. It provides the audiences with a modern alternative to thinking about and understanding celestial and supernatural beings. One of the more entertaining aspects of the series is the presentation of heaven as a bureaucratic entity: rather than the traditional envisagement of heaven as a transcending place of eternal peace and divine order, Supernatural imagines heaven as an organizational hierarchy with all its strata battling through inefficiencies, power struggles, and politicized intrigue. Such interpretation can draw the show deeper within the battle for celestial politics, creating overlaps with human systems of governance.
