Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Wynonna Earp Season 1 earns its spot. What makes Wynonna Earp Season 1 work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. After years away, Wynonna Earp has traveled back to her home town of Purgatory to reluctantly take on the role destined for Wyatt Earp's heir: Demon protector. Her enemy: Revenants, the resurrected (and twisted) souls of the criminals Wyatt Earp once took down. Using only her wits and her wit, Wynonna, along with sister Waverly, associate Agent Dolls and Wyatt's cursed-with-immortality-best-friend Doc Holliday, must try to stop the Revenants from taking over the town - and escaping into the world. Melanie Scrofano and Tim Rozon lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2016. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Wynonna Earp Season 1 fits the bill. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Melanie Scrofano's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.
