Absolutely Brilliant. (25 August 2008)
I don't write too many reviews but felt compelled to write one for this series. I hadn't seen or even really heard of Firefly but saw it at a good price, the reviews were excellent and I thought I had nothing to loose in buying it. As it turns out, it is one of the best things I have had the pleasure of watching. The characters seem real and you quickly get to care about them, the action is great, the script is sharp and humorous and the story arc is wonderful considering there was only one 14 episode series. After finishing this I bought the film Serenity, which follows on from about two months after the series finished. Again; it was excellent. After watching Serenity, it made me feel a little sad to think that there were no more Firefly episodes to watch...so I put the first disc back in and started again!

Why this was ever canceled I will never know. Highly recommended.

Potentially the best Space Opera since Babylon 5 (17 August 2008)
Series creator Joss Whedon had the superb idea of literally taking the "Wagon Train to the Stars" concept space opera - best exemplified by the original "Star Trek" - by creating this mesmerizing "Western" science fiction television series, "Firefly", which had too short a season. Meddlesome network television executives - FOX in this case - forced Whedon to air the series episodes not in the order they should have been aired, with the result that the final episode ever shown on the FOX network was the two hour pilot "Serenity". "Firefly" is the saga of the crew of the Firefly-class starship Serenity trying to keep themselves one light jump ahead of the totalitarian Alliance of Planets, willing to do any job - legal or otherwise - to keep themselves alive. Whedon created an intriguing cast of characters as the Serenity's crew and passengers; thankfully they may now find themselves a new cinematic lease on life in "Serenity", the forthcoming film adaptation of this series. Judging from the handful of episodes I saw, "Firefly" had the potential of becoming as fine a classic example of televised space opera science fiction as "Babylon 5".

just fab (20 June 2008)
i am about half way through the series and it is just bloody brilliant. i got into Firefly after watching Serenity on dvd, which is also an excellent purchase. Firefly starts out good and then just gets better and better, i try to enthuse how good it is to my friends but they have never heard of it so it is lost on them. By the time you get to Jaynestown you have built up such a relationship with the characters that you laugh throughout the entire episode. The next episode Out of Gas is totally different with a much more serious episode. Joss Whedon has created a fantastic series that should have had a handful of series and deserves so much more than the one series it got. the acting is excellent and the relationships between characters is absolutly genuine. Nathan Fillion leads a well sorted cast through this stylised future with absolute flourish. a must have addition to any dvd collection rarely has 10 hours of tv been so much fun.
the one bad point is the fairly annoying theme song!!!!!!!!!

Awesome (12 May 2008)
Brilliant, wonderful, excellent running out of superlatives. Why oh why oh why was there only one series were they mad? The chemistry between the cast works brilliantly.

So much fun (02 May 2008)
