Plot (IMDb): Killjoys is a fast-paced space adventure about a trio of hard-living, party-loving bounty hunters working for the R.A.C., (Reclamation Apprehension Coalition), an Independent interplanetary organization of assassins and retrieval experts who are known across the J cluster as Killjoys. The show centers on their lives and activities in the Quad--a heavily populated planetary system--ruled by a tyrannical class-based corporation known as the company. With the whole system verging on revolutionary war and their own bloody pasts finally catching up with them, the three struggle daily to maintain their R.A.C neutrality by focusing on the only law a Killjoy won't break "The Warrant is all".

Killjoys premiered on June 19, 2015 with it's first season. It ran for 5 seasons. After it's third season it was renewed for a 4th and a 5th season while at the same time Dark Matter was being cancelled after it's 3rd season. Killjoys follows a trio of hard-living bounty hunters: Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen), Johnny (Aaron Ashmore), and D'avin (Luke Macfarlane).

Killjoys arrived at Syfy in the same year as Dark Matter and The Expanse. Dark Matter got cancelled in 2017, The Expanse in 2018. Luckily The Expanse was picked up by Amazon Prime but unfortunately Dark Matter stayed cancelled. Killjoys story is told in five seasons, which is, giving it's on Syfy, quite a ride. Usually a SCI-FI shows nowadays only runs for about 3 seasons on Syfy. I've said it before, I wish Syfy had renewed both Dark Matter and Killjoys for one more (4th) season instead of cancelling Dark Matter and renew Killjoys for seasons 4 and 5.

Although Killjoys is the least favorite of mine of these 3 shows, it's still very entertaining. SCI-FI on a slightly lighter note. I have to say I still needs to watch the last 1.5 seasons and I am really looking forward to this. Already watched the first 3 seasons a few years back. Recently I purchased the complete series on Blu-ray for a bargain price. I've written a blog about the rewatch of the first 2 seasons, if you read this you know how exciting I am for the rewatch and the first watch of the last 1.5 seasons. I will most probably write blogs for seasons 3-5 in 2021.

When I watched Killjoys the first time, it was once a week obviously, or sometimes perhaps once per 2 weeks. But when I started the rewatch I watched the 2 seasons in a very short period of time and I noticed that this is the best way to really appreciate the show. So many things happen, are connected to things from a previous episode or will be continued in a future episode. It's best when you binge watch the show because then you see the patern so much more clearly.
