I thought the second episode aka 'Wendigo' was not very good, but god, 'Dead in the Water' was worse.

I mean seriously, some ghost in the water of the dead kid which was drowned many years ago and of course local sheriff was involved then but he wanted to keep his dark secret until it was too late and people for no reason two decades later started dropping dead and water had something to do with it! They drown in their bathtubs, kitchen sinks etc.

Winchester brothers weren't also in their best edition, probably because Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles were below their usual acting capabilities.

6/10
