Wayne

I actually did one day as an extra on this show in the Episode 9 scene in the bus station. Although I did not make it into the final cut, I loved the show.

Why did an old guy like a show about two mid-teens, you may well ask. 1. The story is really interesting and the characters all seem surprisingly genuine, even though they are mostly on the extreme end of one spectrum or another. 2. There is real tension in the show, you really expect anyone could die at anytime. 3. Some of the characters are quite relatable, at least in some of their beliefs and actions. For example, I can really identify with Wayne and his dad's strong sense of justice and fairness. 4. The music is pretty awesome. 5. The sound is very good and even with the thick Bawstun accents, I could understand almost all the dialogue. 6. There is a lot of action and violence but it does not seem overly gratuitous. You can almost believe that some of this really happened. 7. The chemistry between Wayne and many of the other characters, especially Del, is really amazing. 8. The story lines all move along nicely, except for one twist near the end of season one. I won't give it away but I could not figure out any plausible way it could happen.

9. I love free and Youtube Premium is giving us one month free. Thanks Youtube Premium, thanks cast and crew of Wayne and thanks for reading. cheers, Jim

...It would be Wayne. It has the heart of a superhero story but the stylistic flare of a grindhouse action flick -- coupled with some (quite well done) Romantic Comedy elements here and there. One of the best new shows in months.

This show is better than just about anything on Netflix or Amazon at the moment. The two leads are fantastic and fantastic together. Terrific acting and great chemistry. The editing and music are also top-notch. I wish the rest of the Youtube Originals were this good.

I find myself surprised with just how much I enjoyed this short YouTube series, and I don't claim to be a great writer, or a professional critic, or even anyone worth listening to, but I thought I would share my opinion, and give an honest account of why I like this show. As the title suggests, it's just plain fun, everything from the numb, out of touch, violent, 16 year old Wayne, to two simple twin brothers who are like watching a continuous Laurel and Hardy sketch, to some insanely over the top 'bad guys' with a golden grill and a pet alligator. Everything about it is just balls to the wall chaos, with the occasional poignant, heartfelt moment sprinkled in there, some great music used throughout, and quite frankly one of the best performances I've seen from Dean Winters who I thought really shined throughout. The show is vulgar, sometimes hilarious, nihilistic, has some real punch in the gut moments, and overall fun to watch. If you're looking for a Breaking Bad, or a The Wire, or a Stranger Things, you won't find it here, but if you're looking for a violent, over the top, low brow show to binge over an evening or two, this will most certainly do.

WIth a killer soundtrack, over the top grit and action, Wayne is one hell of a ride. Packs a punch and makes yah laugh along the way. Amazon Prime has picked it up over on PrimeVideo, which gives us another chance to continue Wayne's Antiheroic journey.
