From the original review: "Is it supposed to be a serious show? It's stupid. The characters are even more unbelievable than the plot intends. The acting is horrible. The plot itself is mediocre and the villains are brainless clichés." I can still see why I thought so. Basically it's about Wynonna Earp (yes, that Earp), a formerly troubled youth, who returns to her home town of Purgatory. On the road back one of the fellow travelers is killed by a "being" and Wynonna is unable to do anything about it. It's not quite clear why she should, but still. It turns out she is a descendant of Wyatt Earp (the infamous sheriff of old) and the family is tasked (cursed) with ridding Purgatory of demons ("revenants"). The boss of which is another western profile. Eventually Wynonna teams up with her little sister Wayverly, Doc Holiday (yes, that Doc Holiday), and a federal agent - to clear the town of revenants, and somehow get rid of the family curse. If you buy into the concept, it can be entertaining. The acting and dialogue is at times painfully awkward, but is acceptable for the most part of it. The clichés are plentiful (like the revenants, and their boss Bobo (who is mostly cringeworthy) but if you can get past that ... it can be entertaining. The main sub-story - Wayhaught - has gathered a large following in some fan groups. Wayhaught is the same-sex romance couple Wayverly Earp, and the town cop Nicole Haught. If for nothing else it is worth watching for Wayhaught, as coming from OITNB it is nice seeing a more or less healthy and normal relationship (if it's healthy and normal to walk around shooting demons). Besides this the main character I found interesting is actually the one played by Tim Rozon - Doc Holiday. The others are more or less forgetable. The show has amassed a cult following, and I can see why.
