easy game - guess the show
So I've been rewatching some of my favourite TV. Let's see if you can guess what it is:
* Two canonically co-dependent soulmates (who are totally not gay, oh no, no siree) wander the country together kicking bad things' asses.
* They tend to die. A lot.
* The later seasons of the show feature a angel-focused - heaven vs hell storyline where pretty much all the angels are dicks. Especially Michael. Oh, and of course Lucifer has a heavy vested interest in one of the protagonists.
* One character is quite spiritual and open-minded whereas the other is much more of a cynic.
* All their good friends tend to die, and when it comes to family, there are some... interesting daddy issues.
* They have a major rift in their relationship at one point, one nearly killing the other.
* Despite all this, the show is very cracky and self-referential. We even have episodes where we visit a fan convention, and now who can forget seeing our heroes brought from the show into 'our' reality, learning that they actually have their own series?!
Xena, of course!
Wait, you were thinking of Supernatural? Now there's a great show, but when it comes to certain plot elements Xena got there first.
I mean, so did Paradise Lost etc. obviously, but I'm just talking recent TV. And I'm in a silly mood, if you hadn't already guessed. :)
