Review

  • It is nice that you can find an ...accordion in deep space. Not to mention ...Shure SM58, a vocal microphone which is produced since 1966! Yet, this series is too noisy. The soundtrack is heavy on the ears, in an effort to present the series more action driven than it actually is. Also there are many slow motions that the actual action doesn't justify.

    Anyway. This is another sci-fi series with ...Rob Stewart in it! After "Dark Matter" (which follows after that in scyfy's program) you now have ...Kill Joys. The pilot tries to introduce you to the facts as quickly as possible: There is this semi-hot chick with the soooo original name ...Dutch, who has a license 5 to hunt down criminals for (sooooo original too) ...The Company! What you get with this show is the usual. Many planets with breathing atmosphere to go to. Eastern type bazaars to buy things, European bars to relax, a clever and mildly sarcastic on-spaceship-computer named ...Lucy! There are 2 backstories though you may care (or not). What is with Dutch and her father and what is with Johnny's brother. (Johnny is killjoy of lower rank (3) played by that guy on The Following).

    Dutch is played by Hannah John-Kamen. Her acting is sub-par. Some of the viewers might like her eyes or whatever but her voice has a thick bast British accent and she is annoying as hell.

    Overall: I don't know. I saw the pilot. I started the 2nd episode and stopped watching after 5-6 minutes.
