I started watching this several years ago thinking it was a bit of mindless fun to relax to. By the end of the first season you knew there was some depth to the story and I was eager to see more.

Reception
The first episode of the series received 286,000 overnight viewers in Canada.[11] Charlie Jane Anders of io9 gave the show a very positive rating saying, "If wanting to watch fun, quippy characters get into scrapes and survive by the skin of their teeth, on spaceships and alien planets, is wrong, I don't want to be right. Killjoys has just the right mix of guns, high-tech knives, assassins, cage fights, missions to hostile planets, dark secrets, tiny robot weapons and general space headbutting thrills to be the perfect treat for Friday nights."
