Episode 6: "One Blood"
The latest episode of Killjoys has one of the most badass episode endings so far this year as far as character drama goes. It's all in the dialogue and performance by Hannah John-Kamen playing the beautifully deadly bounty hunter, Dutch. When John asks "And what will we do when we find him?" only for Dutch to answer "I'm gonna kill him somehow", the show in my opinion took a completely dark turn in the right direction. Not that I feel the entire show should be a dark toned series overall, but I do feel as fun and entertaining as the more campy science-fiction/action elements are, I'm always drawn more towards the intense and intimate moments each character experiences.
Dutch's dark and twisted story with Khlyen intrigues me quite a bit as well as D'Avin's mysterious and traumatic hidden memories. The only thing this show needs to really do successfully to keep things going is a very difficult but rewarding balancing act between the Sci-fi and adventurous aspects and the dark, dramatic, and mysterious storytelling elements.
Episode Rating: 8/10
