Wynonna Earp Shines A Spotlight On Canada

So if you were to google Wynonna Earp it would tell you that it is an American-Canadian series, and the Black Badge division of the Us Marshals does play a role as a cross border task force.  But….Space Channel airing Wynonna Earp has actually brought it to a Canadian audience; which is pretty exciting since Purgatory is in Canada.

I mean let’s be real Canada is not one of the most represented countries on television, so there’s something pretty awesome about the small town local Sheriff telling Agent Xavier Dolls that he’s been on the phone with Washington and Ottawa.  Officer Haught also curiously delivers a package from CSIS.

Wynonna And Agent Dolls, clearly in winter because it’s Canada

Wynonna Earp Gives Us The Wild West With An Edge

Very early on I want to warn anyone who hasn’t seen it that there one overly gory scene in every episode.

So if like me you happen to be a little squeamish or prone to nightmares make sure that you are able to fast forward or at least be prepared to cover your eyes and ears.

With that out of the way, let me tell you that it is frigging awesome.

At some point before I started watching for myself my husband told me that it was being described as Buffy meets Supernatural, and it’s a pretty spot on description; I kind of wish that I knew where to assign credit.

Wynonna And Waverly Earp

Wynonna Earp Always Leaves Us With A Cliffhanger

At the end of every episode I want see the next episode as soon as possible because I really want to know what happens next.  I have a genuine curiosity to see where the story will go.  The team behind Wynonna Earp has done an excellent job of making us care about what happens to our core group of misfits.  I would not reccomend getting too attached to some of the others.

Our main misfits include the title character Wynonna Earp (Melanie Scrofano), her younger sister Waverly Earp (Dominique Provost-Chalkley), plucked right from the old time Wild West Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon), and Agent Xavier Dolls (Shamier Anderson). A special note about Officer Nicole Haught (Katherine Barrell) I love the character and her relationship with Waverly, not to give away too many important details, so I hope that she continues to be featured as key player.

The Making Of Wynonna Earp

Wynonna Earp is an Original Canadian Series based on the Graphic Novel Series written by Beau Smith and released by IDW Publishing.  The Tv show and Graphic Novel Series both share the name of their main Demon Hunter Wynonna Earp.

The Tv Series is brought to life by Showrunner and Executive Producer Emily Andras.

Space is the Canadian Production Partner of Calgary Producer SEVEN24 Films.  Session 2 which was recently nominated for 6 Canadian Screen Awards is currently in production in Calgary.

And just to up the badassness of it all Emily Andras herself is Canadian, being an Alumnus of Queen’s University and RTA School of Media at Ryerson University.

The characters of Wynonna, Doc, Agents Dolls, and Officer Haught are also all Canadian Actors.

I could not be more impressed with the series and I hope they continue to WOW me in the second season.

I am eagerly awaiting more episodes, it’s a nice to see a badass heroine and the Canadian touch is very welcome.

Geeks Out,
