Reason #1: The Earp Heirs

The Earp woman are quite a hand full and trouble seems to follow them wherever they go. Wynonna Earp is perfectly played by Melanie Scrofano and her little sister Waverly Earp is played by the lovely Dominique Provost-Chalkley. Big sister Wynonna is the rightful heir to “Peacemaker”, her great grand daddy’s demon killing gun. Waverly is quite the pistol herself; she’s dynamite in little package. Wynonna has the world class sass and the constant hangovers, while Waverly balances that with the brains and the common sense. Together these tough chicks make a pretty unstoppable team. They had an older sister named Willa that is believed to be dead, but I just have this sneaky feeling that she might not be as dead as everyone is led to believe. Like I said it’s just a hunch, but if Willa was alive Wynonna might not be the heir after all and that would be an interesting twist for season 2. I’d love to see them explore more into what Wynonna was up to during her missing time from Purgatory, and see Waverly really become the confident bad ass she is meant to be.

Reason #2 Doc and Dolls

Heaven help me but this is my favorite reason for watching the show and why the Syfy Channel really needs to renew Wynonna Earp for a second season. I am completely smitten and under the spell of the two men who play Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon) and Agent Dolls (Shamier Anderson). These two boys never seem to play well with each other unless it comes to saving o ne of the Earp sisters. They are both secretive and sexy as hell, as we got to witness in the most recent episode titled “two faced jack”. They each have their own agendas and a boat load of secrets to go with them. I loved watching them fight in the underground demon fight club. “Let me guess first rule of fight club, is don’t talk about fight club,” Dolls sarcastically tells Doc, but that is unfortunately not rule #1 here. They end up having to fight each other; Doc was getting his ass handed to him until Dolls brings up Wyatt and what a disappointment Doc must have been for him. That was the final straw for Doc because with one well placed uppercut he laid Agent Dolls out, so much so he was declared dead. The look on Doc’s face when Dolls showed up alive was priceless. He was genuinely freaked out; I mean come on, coming from an immortal cowboy that was pretty funny. Dolls says it was all due to his hard core military training but I’m suspicious. As Doc so obviously points out “you were dead and now you are not,” and the plot thickens.

Reason #3 It’s Just That Good

If you’re not watching Wynonna Earp, then you really should be. Yes it really is that good. It’s a modern day western, supernatural love s tory; well it really is a lot of things. I find myself switching off between laughing out loud at the witty one liners or having to cover my eyes because it is bloody gory. The cast is perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing. The writing is just spot on; they have woven together such an amazingly detailed mystery that we are only just now beginning to see the scope of. There are layers upon layers to what is going on in this show. I love that we keep peeling them back only to find more and somehow even better material. The black badge division, the stone witch, Doc’s curse, the Earp family curse; there is just so much more to explore. I would h ate to see this show end so soon, there are many more stories to be told with these brilliant characters. Wynonna Earp’s creator and writer Beau Smith should be damn proud of the job everyone involved in bringing these characters to life has done. The comic books from IDW publishing are great, but it’s not often that kind of magic can easily be translated on to the television screen. They have a good thing going here with Wynonna Earp!

These are 3 great reasons why the Syfy network should renew this show, although I am sure there are plenty more arguments to be made. I’m going to channel my inner cowgirl here; “don’t beat the devil around the stump”, hurry up and renew Wynonna Earp for season 2.
