An admirer with a gruesome vendetta puts someone familiar in a tight spot. Meanwhile, Wynonna needs to outsmart Bobo Del Rey; and at the same time, protect Dolls from a new threat.

Wynonna Earp keeps the slight improvement up as the first season begins to wind down and Bobo’s plan becomes much clearer. Why were the Earps attacked that fateful night? Why did Bobo protect Willa? All of that is revealed in this episode as the pieces of the puzzles come together.

The episode just builds and builds and things get much better as they get rolling about 2/3 of the way through. That’s the point all of that is put out there and things get rather interesting.

Through all of the reveals the episode also focuses on individuals. Willa’s personality comes out more. Wynonna deals with her possibly not being the heir. Waverly’s relationship too is revealed to some folks. That all is probably some of the best of the episode. Actually, the episode again shows how Nicole Haught is the best character on the show as she deals with some homophobia and an asshole pretty hardcore.

Things aren’t completely wrapped up. There’s a lot left open, some to a slightly incoherent level that’ll leave you scratching your head. We’ll see what gets wrapped up as the season ends next episode.

Things are still better, but they’re not great, but at least it’s better….

Wynonna barely has time to digest the discovery she and her sister made in the Barrens when duty calls in the form of a gambler who was found torn apart in his hotel room. Meanwhile, Henry meets a mysterious stranger.

Wynonna Earp shows some improvement with this episode that begins to shake things up in an interesting way.

It was pretty obvious at the end of the last episode that the woman rescued from the cult was the thought dead third Earp sister. But how did she fire the gun? Why can Wynonna do so? This episode begins to answer some of those questions as it’s peppered with flashbacks as we learn more about Eve and the night she was taken and the Earp girls’ father was killed.

All of this leads to friction and a fight that gets captured on film and things begin to unroll from there.

There’s some good in Eve is very uneasy about the situation, but by the end of the episode she’s completely ok with the situation and where things are, no matter how odd it all is. It’s a rather quick switch that probably should have played out over a few more episodes.

Wynonna and Eve as a team though are entertaining and I finally feel like Wynonna could actually kick ass, though scenes are over the top.

The thing that really stands out is the mysterious Juan Carlos who deals with Henry and talks in riddles. This is something I can’t figure out, nor can I guess where Bobo is connected with Eve. There’s some good build up and mystery here as the episode is a vast improvement in every way from what’s come before.

Hopefully the series has figured out its stride and voice, and if it’s like this episode the series will be far more enjoyable.

A shaken WYnonna seeks solace in drink and other questionable activities after her encounter with the last of the Seven. Eventually she finds herself joining Henry in his vendetta to find and defeat the woman who wronged him.

Wynonna Earp shows off the small things in this episode that indicate how good the series could be.

Out of everything, two things stand out this episode and that’s Sheriff Neadley played by Greg Lawson and Katherine Barrell played by Nicole Haught. Every time either is on the screen their acting is heads and above better than everyone else they share the show with and their characters are also the most interesting. They’re really good in the lines they deliver (no matter how bad they are) and they feel much more grounded and natural in their acting.

Those two shine a light on the bad. Tim Rozon as Doc Holliday is improving in his delivery and presentation of his character but it still feels like a bad caricature. Melanie Scrofano as Wynonna Earp and Dominique Provost-Chalkley as Waverly Earp are both inconsistent bouncing back and forth between a vibe that feels like they’re in on a joke, to just delivering a joke, to being serious. Their styles are inconsistent mixing up the tone of the show. And I’m pretty sure that Shamier Anderson as Agent Dolls only has one emotion.

The episode itself sets up where the series is going with the threats and focus expanding out a bit from where it started. That’s a good thing, but while folks seem to be working on the plot, they seem to leave too many other issues on the table.

The show is still inconsistent in almost every way and still isn’t sure what it wants to be. Maybe it’ll figure that out by the time the first season wraps up.

Overall Rating: 6.05

Henry and Dolls put aside their differences to infiltrate a Revenant hive; at the same time, Wynonna refuses to be a serial killer’s next victim.

Wynonna Earp for some reasons splits the episode and gives us a much weaker episode than if it was focused on one story.

Wynonna is captured by the serial killer Jack and does what she cans to escape. I’m guessing he’s supposed to be Jack the Ripper, and never quite comes through as anything interesting enough to really care, though there’s some really gross (if not silly) special fx in the beginning.

If the episode just focused on Wynonna, it’d be so much better. Treat the episode like Saw or some other horror movie and you’d have something that’s full of tension and actual dread. Instead the episode attempts some humor, some cheesy twists and dialogue. In other words, it attempts to do too much.

Part of that too much is Henry and Dolls who have to fight each other in a match to get information. That gets things muddled and acts as a distraction we don’t need. It’s just idiotic overall and dilutes what could be a good episode.

And I think that sums up the show a lot. If it focused on just some simple things, it’d be excellent. But instead it attempts to do too much and very little of it well.

Overall Rating: 6.05

Guests at an engagement party hosted by Waverly are put in grave danger as Henry remains focused on having his revenge. Meanwhile, Wynonna teams up with an unlikely ally to investigate a killer who’s targeting young women.

Wynonna Earp actually continues to improve this episode with a focused one that mostly has to do with Waverly and Henry. The episode really dives into Waverly herself and does an interesting examination of the character and provides lots of depth. The episode is her spotlight adding a lot and going far to make the character more interesting and well rounded.

There’s also a murder going on that Wynonna teams up with Haught to try to solve. That part is left open and dangling for another episode. Out of all of the actors and characters, Haught is the most interesting and talented. The episode really shows of Katherine Barrell‘s abilities on the screen and dammit, she’s the best actor on the show! There’s also something there with the character that I think it’s pretty clear what it is, but I want the show to just go with it.

Finally there’s a plot with Dolls getting dragged in by his superiors. It’s a little silly since he’s been doing his thing for how long? And now he’s being called in by his bosses?

The episode’s more focused plot helps it a lot with most of it taking place at Wynonna and Waverly’s home. It has a good look about it, something that’s not consistent on the show. Most importantly, the tone is very consistent throughout. It doesn’t try to smash in to much together as if it doesn’t know what it wants to be. There’s a clear vision here.

Hopefully the show continues to improve. This is the best one so far by a long shot and shows off the potential of it all. And the ending! It’s a good one!

Wynonna is out to find and bring to justice one of the Revenants responsible for attacking the Homestead 15 years ago. Meanwhile, Waverly tries to unravel a mystery left behind by her Uncle Curtis.

Wynonna Earp continues to have some good mixed with a lot of bad. The episode actually shows a lot of improvement from everything that has preceded it as the story itself shows a lot of improvement and the acting gets a bit better as well.

The concept of cannibal Revenants is a cool one and at about the 45 minute mark the show actually shows off how good it could really be with scenes bouncing back and forth between two different situations. This is the best the show has been so far.

There’s something that actually clicks with the episode. The threat, how it’s directed, the acting is improved. All of it is much better and doesn’t feel like bargain bin material. I think part of the episode’s success is the fact that it forgoes the smart ass quips as it usually relies on them to show off how “cool” it is.

The episode goes beyond Wynonna’s story too expanding the mystery for some of the other characters and actually sets things up beyond Wynonna’s mission. Its taken six episodes but the series is showing a vast improvement.

Here’s hoping it can keep up the quality.

Overall Rating: 7.05

Wynonna and Dolls organize a daring raid on the trailer park run by Purgatory’s lead Revenant; Henry comes face to face with an old friend and nemesis.

Wynonna Earp continues to have some good mixed with a whole lot of bad as Wynonna and Dolls first attempt to catch some Revenants, but all of that is jsut a way for the series to give us some of the bigger picture while also attempting to answer some questions like why Wynonna just doesn’t go in and just kill the Revenants they know about.

While the episode isn’t as good as last week, it’s not as much of a shitshow as the first one. I think some of the issue with the episode isn’t as much the acting, which is pretty bad, but the fact we don’t care about what’s supposed to be some of the more emotional impact that’s really the big thing of it. The show is trying to give us some interesting characters, but so far it’s not giving us too much of a reason too care, and mostly giving us irritating characters. The beats that are there just aren’t coming down right.

The acting is still bad with some of it being the worst yet. It’s bad, really bad. There’s a few characters I seriously wonder if they know how to emote at all. This is some D-movie bad level of acting.

The show feels like it’s relying on the wrong things, thinking that throwing in some quips will make us get behind its heroine… and that’s it really. There’s not much else there to really start cheering for these folks.

The show is so bad, most of the above is the previous episode’s review and it still applies. The show wants to be a kick-ass feminist “horror” series, but seems to fail everything in almost every single way it could.
