Five hundred years in the future there's a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space.

Summary: An amazing sci-fi western
Comment: Firefly is amazing. The story, the characters, the fact that space has no sound effects! I absolutely love this series. I only heard about it after it was cancelled (Go Fox, for cancelling another terrific show), saw the movie and instantly fell in love. Trust the multiple-thousand other people who love this show and get it!

Summary: Sci-fi at its best.
Comment: Plainly put, this is one of the genre's greatest works. I have watched the entire series with my girlfriend at least five times, and have watched it without her at least a couple more. Needless to say I am in love with the perfectly matched cast, directing, and writing. When prompted in the past, the best concise description I can muster for Firefly is "cowboys in space", but it is so much more. I quickly fell in love with the individual characters. The reality of living in space is made believable by the show's great writing. There is a lot of great action and throughout the show maintains levity with very well placed laughs. If you are a fan of the genre, Whedon's work, or are just curious about all of the highly positive reviews I would highly suggest doing yourself the favor of treating yourself to this set. Everyone who I have lent my set to or watched episodes with has ended up buying their own copies to watch and share.

Summary: Brown as coats can be.
Comment: So. With some of the ridiculous /fei hua/ that Fox puts on TV... Right. Nevermind. And, even so-- the /marketing/, I'd never even /heard/ of this series before. Being the utter /geek/ that I am, I would have watched it. /Hardcore./ Now, I have to watch these 14-- albeit /wonderful/-- episodes over and over and... /over/ again. Being bored tripped me into Serenity. On PVP. I watched it. Loved it. /Loved it./ And then, out of some twist of serendipity, my mother discovered an episode on Sci-Fi. Rerunning. Alas, it was a /series!/ By Joss Whedon, no less! I bought it. Immediately. And without regret. Characters that are easily endearing, funny, melancholy, and full of depth. Fast-quick dialogue, full of quips and humor. You can't really put it into words. This is one of the /best/ sci-fi series I've ever emerged myself in. And, trust me, I've seen quite a few. Either way, I hope the fandom grows to the point that somehow, someway, even beyond the movie, Serenity flies again. On another /network./ And Fox can stick that up their /pigu./

Summary: I can't believe it! Cancelled! I am waiting for someone to wake me up from this knighmare!
Comment: I watched this Show this year only and it was a gift from my friend. He didnt tell me anything about it. I watched the show and it was brilliant. After i got attached to it I discovered that it was canceled! I thought I was dreaming! What could they need more in a show to succeed? I think they should reconsider, even after 6 years.. this show will bring FOX a fortune!

Summary: Firefly-the complete series
Comment: This is a great series. We love it!
It is set as a sci-fi western, complete with cattle rustling in a space ship. A group of "honorable smugglers" cruising the galaxy trying to make a living get caught in the drama of a young doctor trying to rescue his sister from the clutches of the "Alliance".
Funny, but not a comedy. The acting is great. The characters are very real-- very believable. The script is well written with subtle humor (some a little dark). Plenty of drama and action.
There are sexual references and some graphic violence, so may not be suitable for younger viewers.
