This is Dutch. She’s a whole lot of woman and a killjoy (space bounty hunter) with a complicated past that involves a crazy ass father figure named Khlyen, who stalks her most of the season and creeps us out in the process. Whenever Dutch receives a red box and a weapon she knows she has an order from Khlyen to kill someone - no questions asked. Also, there’s levels to bounty hunting and Dutch is Level 5, which is nothing to sneeze at. Dutch bounty hunts alongside her best friend, John.

The introduction of John’s delinquent brother D’avin, who made three an awkward (yet gorgeous looking) crowd. D’avin is suffering from some pretty advanced PTSD and a case of the emos but despite his flaws, even Dutch couldn’t resist that jaw line. Eventually D’avin and Dutch blur the lines - against John’s pleas not to - and have sex. And as one might expect, it gets complicated afterwards.

Amid working through their complicated work/love relationship, the trio tag hangs out in a local bar run by Pree, our favorite bartender..

Fancy Lee is also a RAC agent. He is not a team player and prides himself on being a pain in the ass. But he’s good at his job, so people tolerate him.

A little about the setting of Killjoys. There are four moons in The Quad, where the show is set: Qresh (for the rich), Leith (an exile for people who aren’t rich enough to live on Qresh), Westerley (where the poor and working class live) and Arkyn, which is the smallest of the moons and hasn’t been colonized - or so people think. We have more detail on all these places here. 

This is Delle Seyah Kendry. She’s deeply embroiled in the politics of The Nine. She is without morals, really admires (read: uses) Dutch’s moxie and loves bordeaux lipstick. Johnny describes her as “So rich. So bitch.” So there you have it.

Outside of class and bounty hunting, religion also plays an important role in The Quad. Alvis Akari is leader of the Scarbacks and a resistance fighter against The Company. The Scarbacks are called such because they believe in the practice of suspension where one suspends their body from hooks- think: temporary body piercings. Also, members address one another as “uncle” or “aunt”.

Just for fun, here’s “baby” Dutch. Cute, right? And this is Khylen teaching baby Dutch how to kill. Creepy, right?

Alvis and other rebel fighters are blamed for the attack, so in retaliation The Company starts bombing Old Town, a neighborhood in Westerely. Pree, Pawter, Alvis, the Scarbacks and a group of survivors take refuge in the tunnel system. Dutch and Johnny take off aboard their ship, Lucy.
