It's a shame this series was ever cancelled. Probably due to the fact that this series was too far ahead of its time or the fact that FOX screwed up the chronological order of the series. What a wonderful combination of science fiction and western. The characters, led by Nathan Fillion, were more than well developed after 13 episodes. The humor never felt forced and that intro number, which Madeliefje already mentioned above, brought you right into the episode.

Nice series, passed me by at the time, but still very much worth watching. Visually already quite outdated, but the sympathetic, well-developed characters and the cool humor are still top notch. The mixture of science fiction and western works surprisingly well. It's a shame they couldn't finish the season according to the original schedule, as things now end quite abruptly. The film Serenity forms a kind of conclusion, but it is visually and substantively quite different. Anyway, the series is better.

Enjoying it for the second time, what a great series! Joss Whedon was on top of his game here and one well-written dialogue after another flew out of his pen, each time wrapped in a fine standalone episode in which the crew ends up in quite a bit of trouble.

And the cast is incredibly strong, well acted and enthusiastic. A striking number of Firefly actors have made it and you can see it in other series. Baccarin in V and Homeland, Baldwin in Chuck, Torres in Hannibal, just to name a few. I also really like Nathan Fillion, not a Han Solo ripoff but an antihero all his own with his heart in the right place. I should have let him play Nathan Drake in Uncharted, just cut.

The space western setup means that the budget must have been kept within reasonable limits since many episodes just take place in the next settlement (and of course every planet looks exactly like the south of America...what the heck).

Also can't wait to see Serenity, which was an unexpected and much appreciated closing gift for the "browncoats" (the Firefly fanbase), but first watch the series!
