John Doyle Globe and Mail May 17, 2021
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 Jan 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. Go to Full Review
Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone Jan 18, 2019
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 Nov 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

Wayne is hilarious and heartfelt, and has a golden opportunity to say something meaningful about abuse, poverty and love. Go to Full Review

Grace L @JALGML3 Oct 21, 2026 There is no laughter in the show. Just blah. My friend was telling me you have to watch it it's so funny. Uh no. See more Acetobase T @Acetobase Oct 20, 2026 I loved this. I wanted a season 2 so bad only to find out it was 2019. Where has this gem been hiding? Dang it…can they film season 2 with Wayne and Del all grown up. I want to know how Wayne is doing and did he marry Del? Is Del’s Dad dead yet? What a bunch of characters. All of them fit their roles perfectly. I loved this. Love love love. See more Liz T @LittleBoxFox Sep 20, 2026 This Show is all around unique and it sucks you in. I'm obsessed and I cant tell you how extremely deserving of more seasons this show is. This show is something new and fresh and has style and personality. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and it makes you laugh, and genuinely a great watch. Might be one of my favorites. It really really needs more seasons. Everyone I know loves Wayne. I mean, how could you not? See more Alex Y @REDNAXELA Mar 31, 2026 Wicked fun to watch. The characters are lovable, relatable, and developed so well over the series. If you want a funny, yet high adrenaline show to watch, this is the one. See more Aaleyah C @Aaleyah Jan 20, 2026 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, 2025 This show is so good. I loved it. I’ve seen it twice now and enjoyed it both times. All the characters are very well developed and the acting is great. The actors were perfectly picked for their roles. I liked all the supporting characters and the actors who played Reggie was great at playing a hateful character. I viscerally hated Reggie, a compliment to the actor. I absolutely loved that they did not skimp on the violence in this show because it really showed how Wayne is. Each episode is great, though the Who Even Are We Now? really stuck out because I liked Jenny and Trish. Find Something Black to Wear and No Priests were stand outs as well. A season two would’ve been great as the ending wasn’t all wrapped up. How did this show not get a season two? See more Read all reviews
