An adaptation of an independent comics so obscure that I've not heard of it - and I read a lot of comics - this sees a space scavenger who tries to run from her past. But finds you can't when destiny comes calling.
Sy fy had Killjoys for five years. Which perfectly balanced light character moments with humour, good emotional moments getting serious when it needed to, and good action. Can this fill the void left by that finishing?
Yes it can.
It had me from the off. The opening caption, to be exact. Then the tone of what follows is just right, doing everything that made Killjoys great, but managing to be it's own show as well.
It uses it's budget superbly, never looking cheap. The acting is decent. The characterisation is strong. The flashbacks don't introduce. And there's some great alien make up as well.
A pilot that hits the ground running, and makes me want to watch more. An excellent start.
