Killjoys

2/10

The Usual Craps of TV Sci-fi

There is a certain recipe when you make a TV series, one of them is that the story should be simple. This has been achieved by the first episode of Killjoy. I will go too much into the story, otherwise I will be banned for giving spoilers unintentionally. My comments will most about the back set-up of the story.

The story was happening in some remote Galaxy, but strangely enough, there is only human in that galaxy. All the customs indicates that the "galaxy" is earth, but it is not. As always in the sci-fi video or movie, the background is not clear. On one hand they have the hi-tech space shuttle that can travel over inter-galactic travel, but next to that you will see a slump area which is more like Europe during the middle age plus wiring all over the place. I do not know whether this make any sense for the director, but to me this is really ridiculous.

On this remote galaxy, we will see that slavery is normal and street fight is legalized as an entertainment. Their sport is more like the wrestling championship with.... of course... gambling.

The only missing thing that is not available or shown on the first episode is people using drugs. Either they have different drug mechanism or the guy who wrote it forgot completely about the drug scenes. Let's face it, all the bad things about the world is there, why no drug ?

The action is too lame. No enough gory being shown on supposedly wild street fight. All the fighter came out from the ring, clean as a whistle. How's that possible.

Anyway, don't expect too much of this movie and for your information, until the end of the show, watch it only if you really have nothing else to do. By the way, I still don't understand fully what "Killjoy" really means.
