Monster of the Week works if they are trying to show some parallels to the character development arcs (i.e., Season 4's Metamorphosis shows parallels to the Rougarou's and Sam's inherent dark sides).

At this point, MOTWs suck because if they don't feature anything new, it is predictable and boring. But sometimes they get too eager to create something new just for the sake of it that you get Djinns who feed on fear or something like that, which is far removed from what they were originally described to be.
