An absolute peach of a show. Utterly unique in style and attitude, it's not to everyone's taste, but some of you will find it adorable. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 01/25/2019
Tender and violent, profane and thoughtful, simple and complicated, obvious and subtle, sweet and upsetting, an intermittently bloody hymn to goodness and innocence, and delicately acted even as it runs to extremes, it will not be everybody's cup of tea.

3.5/5
It's more superficial in its pleasures than many of the films and series it resembles, relying on style, attitude and the performances of McKenna and Bravo to pull the audience along... Fortunately, the leads are good. Go to Full Review Sadie Bell Thrillist 11/12/2020
If you give it a watch, you'll feel that intensity until the final shot-but you might get some release, because if it performs well enough on Prime, the streaming service might bring it back for well-deserved Season 2. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 11/09/2020
Wayne is hilarious and heartfelt, and has a golden opportunity to say something meaningful about abuse, poverty and love. Go to Full Review Alexis Gunderson Paste Magazine 08/23/2019

Aaleyah C @Aaleyah Jan 20 Wayne isn’t just a show it feels like a raw, relentless heartbeat. From the first episode, it grabbed me and never let go. Every scene feels purposeful, every line carries weight, and every moment feels earned. I was fully immersed emotionally invested and constantly amazed at how something so chaotic could feel so deeply human and beautifully to say the least. What makes Wayne a masterpiece is its fearless honesty. It doesn’t soften its edges or ask permission to be intense. It tells a story about love, loyalty, anger, and survival that feels brutally real and strangely tender at the same time. Wayne and Del are unforgettable not because they’re perfect, but because they’re painfully authentic. Their messy, emotional connection lingers long after the screen fades to black. This show balances dark humor, violence, vulnerability, and heart with rare artistry. It’s bold, unforgettable, and truly special. Wayne deserves a second season, stories like this don’t come around often. See more Kalissa H @kali_416 Sep 5 This show is so good. All the characters are very well developed. The acting is great. I loved it. The ending wasn’t my favorite but probably because it wasn’t all wrapped up. A season two would’ve been great! See more Matt M @Cjsheehj Aug 25 Have you ever seen a show so cringey, and so filled with eye roll worthy teen angst that it physically hurts to watch? Well look no further, cause this is that show. I’m 90% sure this is some strange edgy kids weird power fantasy See more Max C. @maxnosecondx Aug 12 it’s a quick watch because of having only one season but i so badly wish there was more. it was both unique and cute while also heartbreaking at some points. See more Ogheneruona O Aug 9 It is just the ending for me, nothing to talk about. Is just like the whole plot was missed See more Tno E Aug 6 Can you guys pleaseeeee give me a season two I could binge watch 10 seasons of this show omg😭🔥 See more Read all reviews
