Ok peoples, I never did one of these before but blah blah, it doesn't matter. Read this...This series is awesome. It goes like this:You start watching when you are hangover because you are sick of all the other netflix shit, so you watch something easy, I mean you like history, you know Wyat Earp - maybe, sweet, easy. Guns and shit, awesome.So, the first thing, you say is, what the fuck, these graphics are god awful. And yes they are, I get you, you are right. Just put your head down and bare the hangover, it's too much effort to change the channel right. Is it like Buffy you say?Suddenly, you and emotionally invested. Fuck. Make some grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, keep watching. Now you have to go to bed, fuck, you've watched enough. But you wake up with it in the back of your head. After work you keep watching and all the pieces fall into place and you realize you are a complete fan and you are pinteresting wynonna earp, stop, lets be honest, you are looking up 'weyhought' . Shh, somehow you are addicted.Keep watching, it's worth it.

So, the easiest way to describe this to the unfamiliar is to just say it's Supernatural with a pair of sisters in the lead instead of brothers. That's not all it is, but it's an easy shorthand. The similarities are pretty good though: - Two siblings killing demons and so on ...using the magic Colt that used to be their dad's ...with the help of their friend who is basically immortal (Doc/Cas) ...and the local police ...and a mysterious official organization (BBD/eventually Men of Letters) that isn't 100% 'good guys' **mild spoiler** - Family member killed in the prologue/raison d'etre of the series reappears at one pointAnyway, that is not to say I disliked the show! I just was skeptical out of the gate, but I'm always up for some popcorn- munching entertainment, and I think it delivered. Wynonna Earp's got its own charm and eventually gives in to its natural humor instead of taking itself seriously. It's not high art, but it doesn't need to be; it's fun TV. The attractive redhead Waverly falls for has the last name of 'Haught', for pun's sake!Starring literally zero people I had ever seen or heard of before, I had no particular expectations of the acting quality, but I have to say that Tim Rozon is great as the unaging Doc Holliday - just a little more gruff than the benchmark set by Val Kilmer lo those many years ago, and I think perfectly so considering his circumstances in the setting of Wynonna. Melanie Scrofano does fine as the titular Earp heiress, drinking and swearing a bit but still far more together than anyone seems to think she could be with said drinking problem. Some people do come across as obviously Canadian with their accents and speech patterns, but most are fine.The demon fare from the first season largely being taken over by bigger/badder and weirder monsters for the second, feels like a budget and story expansion that was placed and paced appropriately (the creepiest monsters are always the human ones! e.g. Tucker), and season 2 ends on ye olde cliffhanger moment we've gotten used to from other shows. I *did* have to draw a mental line at the silliness of the climax moment of the final battle with the Widows. You know the moment I mean, if you saw it. *eyes rolling so hard I can see my brain*But still, it's fun to watch and I look forward to the next season.
