At the beginning of the series we meet bounty hunters Dutch and Johnny. They work in the J star system and in the Quad to be more specific. It includes a planet Qresh (inhabited by the elite classes) and three moons-- Westerley (where the lower classes live), Leith (middle and upper classes, citizenship has been promised here to seventh generation Westerleys), and Arkyn (a dead planet due to failed terraformming by The Company).
Killjoys work for the Reclamation Appreciation Commission (simply known as the RAC). Killjoys have no political allegiance and spend most of their time bringing in bad guys. A few killjoys have a grade 5 clearance. That means they can execute "kill warrants". If they do not properly perform their duties the kill is instead transferred to them. Dutch is a Level 5 while Johnny is a Level 3. John steals Dutch's identity to work a kill warrant. The bounty turns out to be Johnny's estranged brother D'avin.
There are many mysterious surrounding our group. D'avin has been transformed into a sleeper agent. He previously wiped out his army squadron. D'avin again loses control and almost kills both Dutch and John. Dutch is very guarded and has some mad fighting skills. We learn over time that she was originally named Yalena (Yala for short), grew up in a harem and was trained to be a child assassin by a man named Khlyen. He keeps popping up from time during the season. Do NOT trust him!
Hannah John-Kamen as Dutch is quite compelling on screen. I love her accent. Luke Macfarlane (D'avin) and Aaron Ashmore (Johnny) are also easy on the eyes. The supporting characters of bar owner Pree, killjoy Fancy Lee, doctor Pawter Simms, scarback monk Alvis, Nine frenemy Delle Kendry and Lucy (the ship's AI) help round out the group. I cant wait to learn more about their secrets and the bigger mystery surrounding Dutch's past.
