The premiere episode jumps into the action and atmosphere immediately, though it takes a little while for the show settle in to what is a very fast-paced story. But by the second episode, it’s already found its rhythm. Read full review

It’s all a bit fuzzy, but then it’s all in good fun. Television has plenty of room for strong female characters. Read full review

If it all sounds a little by-the-numbers, it is. But part of the fun of both Westerns and pulp revenge stories is setting up the tropes to play with them later, so Wynonna Earp could just be getting a few things out of the way before the shenanigans really get started. Read full review

With the important caveat that Wynonna Earp, premiering on Syfy on Friday (April 1), isn't as sharp, funny, thematically rich and consistently well-cast as Buffy was even in its bumpy opening season, there are enough elements in common to justify a tenuous comparison and enough small pleasures to encourage continued viewing.

Surely this show has genre trope, but the interactions are real. You come to care about the plot because it's going to affect the characters and you care about them.

This show passed the Bechdel test in the first scene!

The cast is really good, and they manage to register and play real emotions, while also delivering the goods on plain old entertainment. Main cast members Melanie Scrofano, Dominique Provost-Chalkley, Tim Rozon, and Shamier Anderson stand out; just behind is Katherine Barrell's Officer Nicole Haught.

Things to love on this show: Sisters who act like siblings, but not like sibling stereotypes. Women who are people (and also kick ass). Marginal characters who surprise you (for good and ill) by actually having more going on in their heads than you thought (like Sheriff Nedley). Lots of twists and turns.

A great deal of attention has gone into the budding relationship between Wynonna's sister Waverly and Nicole -- as a positive, nicely handled, normal relationship between two people, who also have other roles in the story. I understand from reading reviews on the net how meaningful this has been for many gay women, who almost never see their identities represented on screen, and when they do, often as a one-note checkbox, with no other characteristics to make them memorable.

I've been envangelizing the show to many friends, and having pretty good success, even though many are doubtful at first. I was myself, not being a huge Western fan, and having seen a bunch of disappointing SyFy shows over the years.

I'm way out of "the demo." My daughter and her friends are in it, and now they are watching enthusiastically. The process reminds me of "Buffy", which I started watching from the pilot, but initially with a lot of skepticism; then I found myself re-watching the episodes repeatedly, and this is now happening with Wynonna. The build up to the finale was deliberate, and well constructed, and surprising, even if you were paying attention; with the addition of some new bombshell surprise elements, leaving me distraught even at the thought the show might not be renewed.

This show will repay your time, even if this is all we ever get to see (but it better not be!).

The one bad thing is that the demon death effects are pretty corny, but that's really _not_ what you should be watching episodic television for. That does do improve a bit, at least by the finale.… Expand

I give this show a high score because it is unique, fun, full of incredible characters, sexy, dark, mysterious and just something I've never seen before. It has a touch of Buffy/Jessica Jones with a lot of western bad-ass in a new jacket.

This show is campy fun with a fantastic cast. It' Buffy meets Lost Girl meets Jessica Jones. There's something for everyone, so sit back and enjoy the ride!

I really enjoyed how Wynonna Earp focused on being a character driven story in an interesting western supernatural world without being historical or super male-dominated. The acting is great, the story is creative, and I was drawn in to seeing how it would all go down.

If you enjoy series like "Lost Girl" this might be worth checking out. Some of the writers come from there and it shows. I'd say that after 9 episodes "Wynonna Earp" has not yet found its way.

Some of the writers come from there and it shows. I'd say that after 9 episodes "Wynonna Earp" has not yet found its way. The writing often is a bit predictable and most evil creatures act too stupid to be taken seriously. But still... the characters definitely have some potential and as trashy the whole idea may sound... it does have a certain charm. But should the creators of this show get another season they will definitely need to add a lot more complexity to the story, make the whole universe feel a lot bigger...… Expand

I don't know why I expected this to be a modern day western. I should have know as soon as I saw SyFy was producing it (no offense, but SyFy doesn't do Westerns). One of the most ridiculous premises for a series I've seen in quite a while. Pass!

Premise sounded good but actually hard to sit through and watch.
Storyline, acting and dialogue all sub standard.
In short its utter crap.
