Saw it, was pretty meh. This is more of a clone of Firefly than Dark Matter in certain aspects. Mostly the bazaar settings, the hangouts, and Ashmore's characters clothing style and whatnot. But the other two characters seem straight out of a conveyer belt of mall clothing store models, so generic. Firefly's characters were so average looking which magnified their charm, well to me anyways. The characters don't have a fraction of the charm. Mousey girl's 'badass' scene was a fucking joke. I almost turned it off right there.
Maybe it'll go somewhere though, we'll see. Currently out of the two mediocrities, Dark Matter has a more interesting array of characters but Killjoys low amount might allow for more personalization later on. Story-wise, too human-ish. I was hoping for actual alien crap and sci-fi. I feel like we need a new word for space-based sci-fi that doesn't really have any sci-fi content or aliens or anything extraterrestrial. I guess we could just say the space-based setting is just sci-fi dressing. Of course, I could be wrong down the line, but I doubt it.
