Wynonna Earp

It's unlikely that kids and teens are familiar with the comics the series pulls from, so if they're drawn to this show it's likely because they're into time-bending sci-fi. Teens might relate to Wynonna's rebellion against her family name, as well as her sarcastic and world-weary demeanor. 

Wynonna Earp is visually stylish and the costumes are great, but that's pretty much where the quality begins and ends. The actors feel wooden in their clichéd roles, and the predictable plot and clunky script do them few favors. There's inherent danger in glossing over the origin story of Wynonna and her sister: After a horrific childhood trauma, it seems there wasn't much in the way of support for the remaining Earp sisters. Extended family members have little sympathy for the titular heroine, which is unnerving given how young she was when involved in the death of her father. There are much better, more self-aware versions of this kind of story that elevate their chosen antiheroes; this one is formulaic and dull by comparison. Plus, the level of violence and sexualization of characters is tough to justify for a show that's this skin-deep.
