Jensen Ackles admits that Demon Dean was underappreciated and underused

Supernatural actor Jensen Ackles admits that even he thought that Demon Dean was underappreciated and underused.

Remember Demon Dean? Back in Season 10 of Supernatural? You can be forgiven if you have forgotten. There was this huge hype about Jensen Ackles playing Demon Dean but sadly there was just no follow-through.

It’s a moment where many Supernatural fans were left ultimately disappointed in. The Season 9 finale ended with Dean turning into a demon. We were then left with an entire summer of building up hype. What would Supernatural be like with Dean as a demon and how would Sammy, if he could, save him?

Fast forward to Season 10 and Demon Dean lasted a total of three episodes. By Episode 4 Dean was no longer demonic. All this hype, all this build, to last a measly three episodes.

Even Jensen Ackles thinks this was underappreciated and underused

Now you might have liked how Supernatural handled the Demon Dean storyline and that’s fine, but personally, I didn’t. I think it could have gone on for longer. It could have had a much wider and more interesting story arc and, overall, I think it was wasted.

And even Jensen Ackles thinks it was an underappreciated and underused. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, both Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki were asked about which Supernatural season is underappreciated. Both actors had different answers but for Jensen, it was Season 10 and Demon Dean.

"Looking back, which Supernatural season is underappreciated?ACKLES: Season 10 had Demon Dean, [who was] underappreciated and underused."

So it’s not just part of the SPN Family that didn’t like how this storyline played out but even Jensen Ackles himself.
