| Joss is totally under-rated and so was this show. I love him, and any show he does and am excited to be waiting for another show of his from Fox in January 2009 to start! If you love odd and unusual and are bored with the same old stuff on TV, just start looking into the stuff Joss puts out. |

| So I have come late the the party and just discovered Firefly.I am not into this type of TV usually. Don't like buffy, or Babalyon 5 or shows of that nature. That said I have to admit that in my 31 years I have NEVER found a story, a setting , and a cast that has touched me as this one did. I love both SI-FI and westerns and so this was a dream come true. Like the typical guy I signed on for the action, the gun fights and the girls,(I guess I'm most like Jayne then)but as I watched the show I found myself most enjoying the scenes of simple interaction between the characters. It has the best writing and diologe on TV, hands down. Having just found the series I was crushed when I learned of the shows history and ultimatly it's premature demise. I wish I could say that I was a part of the fan movment to save the show but I was not. I can tell you that even now years later I plan to start sending letters and emails anyway even in the blind hope of a resurection. This show is simpley that good. Thanks to Joss and the cast. |

| Wow, I had no idea this existed when it came out. I am one of many that mourn the loss of it too soon even years later I am sure. A friend told me that it was on sale on Amazon and I bought it and loved it! Too bad that network execs are idiots. |

| The fact that this show was cancled and we will only ever have these 14 episodes and Serenity is a crying shame. Fox should be ashamed of themselves for failing to recognize what a beautiful funny rich series this was. It should have been 300 episodes. |

My first exposure to this Joss Whedon series was through the movie "Serenity," and I thoroughly enjoyed watching that movie. At the time, I was unaware of who Wheden was, or what other works he had on his resume. Admittedly, I've never been a fan of Whedon's previous forays into television, such as "Buffy" and "Angel," believing them to be directed mainly at pre-pubescent teenagers and bored housewives. Luckily for me, I was ignorant of the connection to Firefly, and was able to keep an open mind when watching.
Firefly completely blew me away with how captivating and engrossing each episode was. From the writing, to the camerawork, to the direction of its quirky and loveable cast, there was not one thing I could find fault with or look at harshly. Well, the fact that this was the only season produced is a big gripe, but that's directed at the network that foolishly cancelled it. You will love it, I can assure you.
I will give one important warning to anyone thinking of buying this DVD collection though: Make sure you have ample, and I mean ample, amounts of free time before starting the first episode. You will NOT want to stop for anything once you get started, and it will be hard not to go back and rewatch the whole series once you've finished it. It really is that good!!
5 out of 5 stars, in my opinion. Enjoy! |

I hope the Big Money thinkers in Hollywood have many restless nights because of the sheer number of five star reviews on this website. I hope the people who canceled this show fully understand that they had gold in their hands and threw it away just before finding out how many dedicated fans this series would gain.
Firefly is to Stargate what Bob Dylan is to Panic at the Disco. Firefly is genuinely good art that has mass appeal despite not being able to fit in any known nook in the genre of science fiction television. And to think that shows like Stargate SG1 (which I am a fan of) could run on for ten years while this show can't make it to season two...
This show is less dramatic and more human than something like Battlestar Galactica (which I am a big fan of). The fate of the universe does not rest in the hands of anyone on serenity. The crew of the ship is just trying to get by in increasingly hard times.
The alien settings in Firefly make the cast seem more believable and human, giving this show, like I said before, mass appeal.
Buy it. Watch it.
Now!

| Bought on the reviews of others and not only was I enchanted, but the whole family chimed in. It was only then that I discovered that my sister had already discovered Firefly and was a devotee. Wish she'd told me earlier! |

What a great series! I think that maybe I'm lucky to not have seen
it before on it's regular broadcast, so now I can enjoy it for the
first time, but, I would have been just as upset as the rest of the
folks when they took it off the air, bad move I think, a really bad
move on their part to not continue this.
Loved the Serenity movie, actually saw that first and found out about
the series, so it was kind of a spoiler to see what happens to everyone
I'll not give any of that away in this review, but if you can, get this
series first and then watch the movie Serenity, you'll enjoy it all the more.
