It's actually surprising to me how influential a show's color palette is to me--maybe SV has attuned me to that in ways I don't understand? Though I do watch BSG, which is also very dark--but not always and unrelentingly. I know the color palette is the reason I didn't watch 300, too.
The family drama part of SPN is the part that appeals to me, definitely--and I agree with you that a lot of the horror, at least in the eps I've seen, is tongue-in-cheek. I feel like I *ought* to like this show, given stuff I've liked in the past, so I don't really understand why I don't.
