Half a million viewers per week is really terrible even for SyFy.

What was it about the show that it wasn't appealing to a larger audience?

I guess it wasn't badass like The Expanse...

Crap, that and Killjoys made for a really enjoyable night of scifi. They were both good shows, but I do prefer Killjoys, so I guess that's good.
The Expanse is definitely the star though, and it's refreshing to see an attempt at a serious scifi space opra doing so well.

I just looked up some info online and apparently "Dark Matter" was getting essentially the same ratings as all of the other scripted dramas on SyFy Channel which then leads me to believe that the production costs for the show were a bit higher and thus it got cancelled. All of the current SyFy scripted dramas are getting between 500k and 750k viewers per week.

Oh c-rap! you get into a series and they cancel it on you frown the life of a Science Fiction fan

still to watch past the second episode of this last season of Dark Mater, been too busy to sit down and enjoy it, I was picking it up from Amazon Video as it was the only service I could find that streamed it here. Killjoys are just on season 1 here on cable TV, but Amazon has them all smile

I'm sure her looks was a very large reason why the producers cast her in the role. She was also an unknown in Hollywood which made her cheap to hire.

Lots of good actors out there that just need their break.
I've seen Luke McFarland from Killjoys all over the place in other roles over the last couple of years. From soldier to minister.
Both shows have good talent.
