The Latest Must-Binge Show On Netflix

Wynonna Earp is the show you didn't know you needed to be watching

The Latest Must-Binge Show On Netflix
IGN

With the beginning of April came a new wave of shows and movies to come and leave Netflix. While the fact that “The Princess Bride” is being removed deeply saddens us all, one show coming to the streaming service offers some consolation. That show is “Wynonna Earp”.

“Wynonna Earp” is a Canadian-produced show that airs on the network SyFy. It follows the story of the Earp family, descendants of the infamous Wyatt Earp, as they fight to break a curse in the little town of Purgatory that causes all the previous outlaws killed by Wyatt to be resurrected as revenants, hell-bent on destroying the Earp line. Wynonna is the current Earp heir, capable of wielding Peacemaker, Wyatt’s gun which is the only thing that can send the revenants back to hell. Helping her is her sister Waverly, an agent of a secret government organization, and the real Doc Holliday.

The premise might take some processing, but it all makes sense when you watch the show. If you are a fan of “Supernatural”, I highly recommend this show. Picture “Supernatural” but with a badass female lead. She does find herself with two male suitors, but the love triangle is not the main focus at all, and is even called out within the show. Wynonna is a strong female character who exists perfectly without a boyfriend.

Wynonna’s little sister Waverly is a reason to watch the show herself. Though Waverly is not the Earp heir, she is still a vital member of the team, having spent most of her life researching the Earp curse and each of the revenants that plague the town of Purgatory. She is also a super adorable person, who is able to be strong and stand up for herself.

Wynonna’s little love triangle isn’t the only romance that occurs in the show. Throughout the series Waverly discovers that she has feelings for the newest police deputy, Nicole Haught. This relationship, aptly named Wayhaught, quickly became a fan favorite as it grew into one of the few good specks of LGBTQ+ representation on mainstream media. This show is all beautifully written and produced by Emily Andras, who is an awesome human being trying to make a great show that everyone can enjoy and feel represented in.

Many viewers may turn away from starting “Wynonna Earp” because of the seemingly strange premise, but once you sit down and dive in, you won’t be able to stop watching. Each episode sucks you in further and further. Sure, like every single show on television, it has its flaws, but the story is very interesting, and the storytelling is beautiful. “Wynonna Earp” was just added to Netflix on April 1st, and if you ever find yourself in a grey and gloomy weekend with nothing to do, bingeing this show is the perfect remedy.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
