Well cast and written and staged with a campy sense of humor. Read full review

Hannah-John Kamen's strong performance and plenty of family drama do result in some solid personal lore, but the show lacks a sense of place. [19 Jun 2015, p.58]

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

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

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

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

Brian Lowry

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

Great show! The pilot was great. It is easy to quickly get immersed in the world created and the actors have great chemistry. With great humour and some pretty excellent actors, it can grab and keep one's attention for quite a while. I am definitely watching episode 2.

Killjoys is part of SyFy's attempt to reclaim science fiction from JJ Abrams and the CW and it is a positive sign of things to come.

The show, about interstellar bounty hunters, is pretty straight forward and fun. Science fiction should have some science elements to it but Killjoys doesn't fall into the trap of trying to be too clever or sciency. The great Sci-Fi series (Star Trek, Stargate, Dr. Who, etc) were always fun first and then added elements of mystery and future science & technology where appropriate - Killjoys definitely follows that tradition, it is a fun, action oriented series first and foremost and any complications, interpersonal issues, mysteries and cool tech stuff never overwhelms the story. It is fun and easy to watch and follow.… Expand

Great show! Solid characters, universe and story. This fills a niche of space shows that I have been missing for a while. The more I see the more it grows on me. I am really hoping for a second season!

I am officially hooked on Killjoys, not sure how its doing on ratings but hoping they’re good enough to keep this show alive for a long time. Seriously this is one of the best scifi shows I’ve seen in a while. Slightly reminiscent of Firefly with its unique elements and story line.

The characters are sassy and strong, like every good science fiction character. The show is serious but still manages to be funny and sweet. The world the show takes place in is unique enough to not be boring and I enjoy the way we slowly learn about it.

I also have to note how interesting the love triangle in this show is. It’s not your typical romantic quarrel, as it is more of a friendship/family love triangle. It’s kind of a breath of fresh air from the constant who gets the girl scenario.… Expand

Only on Episode 2 so far but already having a great time watching this show. I can't wait to see how this story develops should be a good ride. If this starts getting to Firefly status I will raise my rating.

'Killjoys' is a lot of fun if you like science fiction shows. It's fast paced, with engaging characters, yes, there are a few different story threads, but for me, that just added to the show's intrigue. Give it a chance, watch at least the first few episodes!
