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.

      Just look at OTC. It takes like 30 seconds. Also, ESPN just covered this today. As Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel openly mulls a quarterback change late in Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing season, here's the math on where things stand with Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has $54 million in fully guaranteed compensation in 2026. That breaks down as a $39 million salary and a $15 million option bonus that needs to be exercised between the first and third days of the 2026 league year in March. Additionally, on the third day of the 2026 league year, $3 million of his $31 million 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed. So if he's on Miami's roster as of 4 p.m. ET on March 13, the Dolphins will be on the hook for $57 million guaranteed.   If they were to release him prior to that date, they'd still have to pay him the $54 million in 2026 cash and would absorb $99.2 million in dead salary cap charges. (They could spread that out over two years if they designated him a post-June 1 release, but they'd still take $67.4 million in dead money charges on their 2026 cap and the remaining $31.8 million in 2027.) If they were to find a way to trade Tagovailoa before March 13, the acquiring team would become responsible for the $54 million in 2026 salary and bonuses, and the Dolphins' dead-money charge would drop to $45.2 million. If they traded him after March 13, presumably they'd be on the hook for the $15 million option bonus, while the new team would take the $39 million salary; the Dolphins' dead-money charge would be $60.2 million.   None of this is even close to ideal, obviously, as it would leave Miami in a terrible cap situation and also without a quarterback. The Broncos took $80 million in dead-money charges (spread over two years) when they released Russell Wilson in 2024, and they managed to make the playoffs last season and currently hold the 1-seed in the AFC playoff field for this season. So huge dead-money charges don't necessarily kill a team's chances. But one of the reasons it has worked for Denver is it found a first-round QB in Bo Nix who could play right away.   If the Dolphins bench Tagovailoa this week, it'd be for either Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers, either of whom could theoretically be a 2026 starting option if they show enough in these remaining three weeks. But moving on from Tagovailoa would probably require the Dolphins to be players in that Mac Jones/Kyler Murray/etc. second-chance QB market if they want to compete next year. Not a great spot for whoever their next general manager turns out to be. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47324378/nfl-week-16-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions#trades
