Both Killjoys and Dark Matter, each two episodes in, are getting tedious.
Dark Matter is trying to do the same thing SGU did -- it's an ensemble show, but they want to do a sort of gritty "we're not an ensemble yet" broken family approach. Same basic principle, as well -- they're bene forced together, there's a mystery at the heart of everything, and they have to get along but they're not all exactly on the same page and some of them may be evil...or maybe not.
This means we'll spend the whole season having bottle episodes about how they don't get along.
I suppose that would be fine but, unlike SGU, there's no single character who is fleshed out. They're all two dimensional cardboard cut-outs of sci-fi tropes.
Theoretically, there's a larger issue at play... But I don't think we'll care even when they get around to developing that. The only likable and interesting character is the emotionless android, and that's because she's comic relief.
Meanwhile, Killjoys is a meandering mess that already, just two episodes in, feels repetitive and annoying. It's one that will shift to personal cancellation if it doesn't pick up the pace after five episodes.
