Link: Killjoys: Adam Barken talks “Run, Yala, Run”
“From the first season to the last, the idea of memory, and how it relates to identity, has been a major theme of Killjoys. Dutch is a living memory.

It’s a puzzle and I thoroughly enjoyed my time on that show.” Continue reading. 

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
