Wynonna Earp

I watched all four seasons before rating Wynonna Earp. The first season starts okay, keeps you interested, followed by a second season that is improving, followed by a third season that in my opinion was the best, to end with a fourth season that is failing completely with a very bad last episode that couldn't end fast enough. It's a show with ups and downs, some well written episodes that were quite good and entertaining, but also a lot of episodes where my vomit bucket had to stay in reach. In the beginning I wasn't sure if the comedy was a good thing for this series but towards the end I changed my mind about it and that's mostly due to the good comebacks from Wynonna Earp played by Melanie Scrofano. She's the main reason I continued watching it, and Tim Rozon as well (a way better character and acting than his role in Schitts Creek). The chemistry and relation between their two characters is what makes this show worth watching. Dominique Provost-Chalkley on the other hand plays a character that is very, very, very annoying to watch. I don't say she's a bad actress but her character is vomit material. Her romance with Katherine Barrell (the best looking of all of them by the way) was the worst thing of this show. Almost every episode with those two giggling and cuddling is cringeworthy. Besides one extra (the one that plays the wedding dress saleswoman in the last episode) everybody can act in Wynonna Earp. The revenants, demons or monsters are entertaining, well thought of, and this is why the show kept me interested. But towards the end it's clear that the writers became lazy and uninspired. The last season could not end fast enough for me, I was done with it and that's mostly due to the childish and girly behavior of the two lesbians. I'm glad I watched it though but it's not a keeper. A one time viewing is more than enough.

I gave this show two chances about two years apart from one another and both times I started on episode one and hated it. Finally, on the third chance I've given this show, I watched episode two. I may be wrong on claiming this, but I believe even the effects were better in episode two. The show really does hold up to its high ratings now. I'm surprised more than anyone that I'm watching this show but I can't get enough of it! I'd definitely recommend!

This show has fun characters and an interesting premise. The dialogue is clever, the acting is great, and just two episodes in it looks like there will be layers to the plot and surprises about people's agendas. I love a show with a strong but imperfect female lead and positive relationships among the characters.

There are familiar elements, but they're good ones brought together in a new way - a reluctant heroine, a prodigal daughter returning home to skeptical friends and family, a seemingly inescapable destiny, a wild card and a straight man, and a perky younger sister. TV needs more shows like Buffy and Lost Girl and iZombie and Jessica Jones, and Wynonna Earp hits the sweet spot of being darkish but with humor and strong bonds between characters.

I'm looking forward to the third episode and beyond.

The first time I watched the pilot I really wasn't into it, because I didn't watch the second episode. Now, a few months later, I tried again and am so glad I did! It still takes three or four episodes to get into it, but it's definitely worth the wait. The characters and storylines are getting more depth, and builds up to an excellent season 2, which had me wanting for more! Starting season 3 now, which I hope delivers just as much.

I am really starting to like this series more and more as the actors start to get comfortable with their roles. The more I watch, the more I want to watch. I am enjoying watching the characters become more fleshed out. Sure there are some cheesy bits here and there, but as the series matures this gets better. The writing sort of reminds me of first season Buffy. I look forward to see where the story line is going. I really think that people need to give this series more of a chance, and not just judge the entire body of work based on the series premier. As the actors settle into their rolls, you are not so distracted by them and are able to focus on the story, and the story is an interesting one, and totally worth watching.
