Description
Brief summary of the item: A cross between a futuristic western and stylish sci-fi action series. It follows the life and 'jobs' of Capt. Malcolm Reynolds and crew, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, fleeing the evil Alliance and getting into generally funny but bleak situations. Good Points: Hilarious, stylish, excellent casting and plots. Pure genius. Bad Points: none at all General Comments: Best £30 I ever spent. Just go buy it. Firefly is one of the finest series ever to be made for TV - don't let the movie put you off, Serenity was a crap bodge-up trying to recover their losses.

Good Points: Clever plots, interesting characters, and it (mostly) eschews the all-too-straightforward "good" and "bad" ideas. Everyone has their own motivations, but not too many are truly good or bad. Bad Points: The basic story is a fairly generic cliché, a few of the episodes' plots were really not very good, and some of the camera work was sloppy (a number of espisodes have visible reflections/ghosting from some kind of protective glass sheet in front of the camera). And it's too short: only 14 episodes were created (a normal full season is 20-24), and of those, only 11 were aired on TV - and in the wrong order. General Comments: An awesome TV show was canceled by Fox to make room for this good TV show. Then, they didn't even give this show a full season to catch on before canceling it. This series deserves a chance, and anyone who enjoys science fiction action is likely to enjoy this series.
