Season 2 Review: The cast has terrific chemistry, and the second season of the show ably builds on the strengths of the quite enjoyable first. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Although Killjoys has ambition and creativity to spare, it often lags in execution. Compelling storylines find themselves saddled with heavy-handed exposition and clunky, B-grade dialogue. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The action is good, with all three actors receiving and dishing out their fair share of abuse, but the story is, literally, difficult to follow. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Killjoys tries to build a mythology, but both the low-rent look--a red filter for this scene! a green filter for this scene!--and the emphasis on fights over character development dooms the show to medocrity. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Killjoys boasts slick outfits and action sequences, but the rest is pretty fuzzy. Characters are hard to define beyond their physical attributes, making them difficult to root for (or against). Read full review

Season 1 Review: Frankly, the only moderately ambitious thing about the show is the set design--immersed as it is in brownish hues and grunge--and even that feels borrowed from any number of sources blessed with more expansive budgets or simply a heftier dose of wit. Read full review

After five seasons, SyFy's "Killjoys" has come to a close. I must say, I've really enjoyed the ride.

The show was such a surprise hit due to its compelling mythology, excellent acting and it just looks like everyone is having so much fun. The relationships between people are messy and complicated. But somehow they all end up (sometimes begrudingly) loving each other. "Killjoys" has a number of strong female leads (which is sadly in short supply in many scifi series). It also has a number of queer roles (even more unusual in scifi shows). The great thing about all of these characters is that their gender/sexual identity/sexual orientation is not the main focus. Instead it's who they are as people. Are they loyal? Are they trustworthy? Are they willing to sacrifice it all to save humanity from an ancient evil entity? The finale was almost perfect IMHO. It ties up all the loose ends with each character's arc. Sadly, I'd like to see more but all good things must come to an end. Hannah- John Kamen has a busy schedule with movie and TV roles (including NetFlix's"The Stranger"). And Aaron Ashmore (Johnny) is currently playing Uncle Duncan on another fun NetFlix show "Locke & Key". Luke Macfarlane has a movie on Hallmark and I'm not sure what all else. I second Dutch's closing comment. "I'm going to miss this (too)". Think there's a chance we could ever get a standalone via (ala "Firefly")?… Expand

Finally, a sci-fi show that acknowledges that more than just white men (and their token one alien/female) exist!

One of my favorite things about Killjoys is its lack of "space is only for white people" propaganda, shoving nothing but het-romances down the viewers' throats. The secondary characters are given the same full treatment as the regulars, letting them have storylines and motivations of their own. And the showrunners did a lot with an ever decreasing budget. Despite the lack of promotion, we managed to get a complete 5-year story that was completed with a satisfactory and satisfying end, while still also leaving the viewers wanting more.

It's only been off for a few weeks and I already miss it terribly and am ready for a full 5 season rewatch.… Expand

Anilas overacting all right playing two characters, new lady by putting black lipstick on and making a list sounding voice drives people crazy, on the amount of homosexual relationships that have to be pushed in your face from an almost obscene level continue to turn people away, hence the final season. Syfy once again ruins what could have been an interesting show.… Expand
