After five seasons, SyFy's "Killjoys" has come to a close. I must say, I've really enjoyed the ride. The show was such a surprise hit due to its compelling mythology, excellent acting and it just looks like everyone is having so much fun. The relationships between people are messy and complicated. But somehow they all end up (sometimes begrudingly) loving each other. "Killjoys" has a number of strong female leads (which is sadly in short supply in many scifi series). It also has a number of queer roles (even more unusual in scifi shows). The great thing about all of these characters is that their gender/sexual identity/sexual orientation is not the main focus. Instead it's who they are as people. Are they loyal? Are they trustworthy? Are they willing to sacrifice it all to save humanity from an ancient evil entity?
The finale was almost perfect IMHO. It ties up all the loose ends with each character's arc. Sadly, I'd like to see more but all good things must come to an end. Hannah- John Kamen has a busy schedule with movie and TV roles (including NetFlix's"The Stranger"). And Aaron Ashmore (Johnny) is currently playing Uncle Duncan on another fun NetFlix show "Locke & Key". Luke Macfarlane has a movie on Hallmark and I'm not sure what all else.
I second Dutch's closing comment. "I'm going to miss this (too)". Think there's a chance we could ever get a standalone via (ala "Firefly")?
