    I'm hoping it comes to Netflix. In any region.
    You can watch on Amazon either buy a season or just episodes this is how I watch it I don't have cable and if you have itunes but that was annoying for me Amazon was much simpler and the eps are only 1.99 the HD are more I got the season pass of the reg


    I enjoy both Dark Matter and Killjoys both characters and overall plot

      I've seen a couple of episodes, and I'll confess I'm finding it a bit slow and plodding :\

      I really like the Android, I think she's fantastic and the actress is excellent, but I find the other characters quite bland.

      Since I'm in the UK where viewing figures don't count towards a show's renewal, I'm going to wait till it's online and marathon it.

      I still really hope it gets a second season, because it definitely has a lot of potential, and I want it to win me over.

        I don't like it enough to get the episodes from iTunes or Amazon.

          I understand the attraction of taking time to fill in the details of the universe the show inhabits, but the way the TV business is these days, I think I have to prefer a "data dump" episode, for the simple reason that many shows don't get time to do it slowly before they are axed. Seems that too many TV execs cut their teeth on "short attention span theater".

            If a TV show isn't going to last then a world building "data dump" episode is pointless because it doesn't go anywhere.

            If it does last, then the writer's are painted into a corner after such an episode.

              Nothing wrong with planning things out and then having to stick to your plan.

                No need for 'data dump' episodes.

                Just throw info every here and there spread out over several/many/all episodes. It can be done in a way not screaming at everyone: "Hear! Hear! Infodump!"

                  Yes there is - slow gradual world building allows space and time to develop new or alternate ideas. Doing it all once or quickly benefits a show nothing. The characters have to take priority - if we don't like them, then a show has no future.

                  Precisely and it allows for a better development of the overall plan for the series.

                      Meh, it's okay. Nothing to write home about. I almost didn't watch it when I found out who was involved in it. Zoie Palmer is the only feason I gave it a chance and considering she gets taken offline in almost every episode I'm wondering what's the point. When I saw Hewlett's name the first time I cringed. Mallozzi, Mullie and Hewlett together is never a good combination. But I'm glad there's only been minor screen time on a computer screen.

                        After five episodes watched, I find this show as boring as SGU. Has lost me as a viewer

                          Since SGU was never boring then you must have found it exciting.

                            R U Serious, I loved Stargate, SG1 and Atlantis but SGU was a better sleep inducer than test cricket, sorry just wasn't good: Much like this show, too slow ( interesting concept just poorly executed)

                              SGU actually got quite a bit better the longer it went. Only the first 7-8 episodes, if I recall well, were very slow. Then it gradually got better.

                              Unless I somewhere pledged that I won't watch season 2 of Dark Matter, I can always hope it will also get better (and Joe Mallozzi has acknowledged quite a few of the common criticims on his blog back when it was airing).

                                SGU's quality significantly increased every half season or so.

                                I got Season 1 of Dark Matter for Christmas. I only caught the first few episodes on TV but it intrigued me. I'm looking forward to giving this a proper watch.
