It's not all that great, but I enjoy mostly all scifi, so I don't regret watching it. It was decent.

The only thing bad about Killjoys is that the seasons are a few episodes too short.

Also, that Monogrenade never released that killer song that was featured in the first season finale.

The lady who plays Dutch is supposed to have a big part in the Ant-Man sequel. Although they aren't saying who she is playing.

If Dutch is the main girl, hopefully a part where she doesn't talk.

Agreed. She is the worst part of the show. I said ti before, she carries herself like a young girl trying to act like an adult.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

I can totally see where the complaint comes from with her acting, but at the same time... I think it also kinda fits the character, that she's almost trying to act like this hardened badass 24/7 because she was so damaged by what Khlyen put her through at such a young age.

or I'm just making excuses because she was also Sweet Shalquoir in Dark Souls II. :v:

Since Killjoys started she's also had a cameo in The Force Awakens, guest spots on Game of Thrones and Black Mirror, and will also be in Ready Player One and the new Tomb Raider movie.

She's been on Black Mirror before Killjoys. That season 1 episode with those guys cycling for money.

Huh. I completely missed her in that episode. I think that also makes her the only person to be in more than one Black Mirror episode.

Butt first, let's

Throw me in the camp that doesn't have any real problem with her performance. But I think I have a generally low bar for Killjoys as its just a fun little show I enjoy.

The non-Ashmore brother is actually the one I have the biggest problem with, and even that I can mostly just shrug off.

Pacing is spot on. There's zero stupid relationship drama in the core group. Dialog is tight even if it won't win any awards.

Also, gay warlord turned barkeep Pree.

There's witty banter, the worldbuilding is fun, some of the actors and characters are great, the ones that aren't aren't too annoying, and they take a refreshingly unconventional attitude toward relationships.

That scene in the scum bar with all the tough criminal dudes telling Davin(?) to never insult his man's mother was amazing.

quote:

Happy! is based on New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name. The series follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni, Law & Order: SVU) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Bobby Moynihan, Saturday Night Live).

This is pretty close. They really went all in on the 80s VHS-ness of it too with the way it was filmed.

I actually enjoyed it a lot. Surprised it didn't find a home on El Rey.

I watched it last night, I thought it was alright. I'll watch the next episode. I feel like it's going to be a show where I don't bother to learn more than half the characters names, but I also don't think it cares much. I like the absurdity of carnivore cars and the fake commercial interstitials.

More critically, I don't think the show has a lot of value. It's schlock for its own sake and doesn't seem terribly self aware about that fact. It revels in gore and gaze and puts characters, usually women, in deeply uncomfortable situations. Worst, if I say that the protagonists have to have sex with each other to save their lives and start talking about questions of consent and portrayal and agency, the show seems like it's going to say to me, "LOL, snowflake cuck."
