Both syfy. Neither great. But one is better. Which one in your opinion?

Killjoys is really bad, and I've only watched 2 episodes, but it sucks. 2 people to maintain a space ship? K. Really not a fan at all, but I'm watching.

Dark Matter has been getting better as it goes along. I was slow to get into it, but this is why I like summer shows. Good B TV.

Plus I mean really? What's not to like?

Both shows are good.  Killjoys is more of a fun/comedic show but this season I think it's done a good job pushing the story instead of just "criminal of the week" type stuff.   The "soldier" dude is the only one that is kind of wooden but Dutch and the tech guy are solid.  They don't run their own ship, they have a highly advanced AI doing most of that.  Mostly, it works.

Dark Matter has a more serious tone and a slower build up the the story, they've did a good job branching out some of the characters this season and that's made it a bit more interesting.   I can't say one is better than the other because they are trying to accomplish different things (of course minus being space shows).

The Expanse is great too, a bit better production values and higher quality than the previous two.

I watched season 1 of Dark Matter and thoroughly enjoyed it.

imo season 2 hasn't been as good.

 

I have not seen Killjoys.

 

I watched the 1st season of the Expanse and also really enjoyed... so much so that I read 'Leviathan Wakes' last week and am about half way thru 'Corriban's War' right now.

 

They changed the Expanse a LOT from the original book. The basic premise and characters are the same, but there's a ton of little things that I prefer in the books that they changed for the show.

SyFy has three top notch shows in Magicians, Expanse, and 12 Monkeys.

Then they have some really good ones right now in Killjoys and Dark Matter.

Z Nation is stupid but it's supposed to be and is pretty entertaining when you realize that lol.

tbh I'm surprised 12 monkeys made it to season 2. I couldn't get past about 5 episodes.

Now that I've finished the first season of killjoys, I stand by my first impression of it, not very good and the theme didy sucks too. 

Downloaded The Expanse, checking it out next.

12 Monkeys is a top tier show and became really, really awesome.  Renewed for season 3.   It's been a great surprise.

Killjoys has gotten much better in season 2 with a clear storyline.

      ESPN's Barnwell Early Offseason Grades

      By strato · Posted

      I would imagine that with a choice between going after Horn or Jackson, people are gonna go Jackson. So him having the most burns tracks with that.     Two words: Pass rush.

      Back in my day! But seriously, it is shameful what it has all become, and it’s only going to get worse.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers
