Firefly

Plagued with release issues, out of order episodes and a moronic broadcaster, the show still managed to have the the best on screen chemistry of a large cast. It had action and sci fi and humor, as well as sweet sentimental moments. Best part is they were all packed together and really kept you on your toes. If you are looking for serious sci-fi, or life changing stories, look elsewhere. This is the story of a group of people searching for freedom, which is something different for each of them.

Terrific series that I wish had never been cancelled.

Fun, cheesy and all too brief.

Whedon is one of the best writers currently working, and Firefly is a testament to his imagination and understanding of how to get the best of multiple genres. The dialogue, set designs, acting, everything's a perfect compliment to his "Verse". Occasionally a few characters push the limits of how much they can get away with and still be likable (lookin' at you Jayne), and some of the villains are a little too needlessly psychopathic, but these 14 episodes are too creative and fun to be ignored.

Amazingly, it more or less lives up to the hype (and this is coming from someone who finds religiously-devoted Whedonites insufferable, so I'm not coming from this as a cultist at all). Half the episodes are stone-cold classics. Out of Gas is my favorite, but Our Mrs. Reynolds, Ariel, War Stories and the pilot are up there too. Thrillingly muscular dialogue, infinite quotable lines, as terrific a cast as I've ever seen established in so little time. Malcolm Reynolds forever, baby.

One of my very favorite things. In my opinion the one season of Firefly that was produced is easily in the top three of any season of any television series ever. Absolutely outstanding and the cancellation of this show is a cultural crime.

Hits some stunning peaks, and overall delivers some Whedonesque fun and a unique mix of the western and sci-fi genres. So glad we got the movie out of its cancellation.

I have given many things a zero, after watching Firefly I decided to re-rate those and give them fives because nothing is worse than Firefly. I have never been so bored and angry after watching a TV show. The characters are all trash and display little to no emotion, the effects are awful, and the acting is worse than even The Flash. How does this cancer have a cult following! The fact that I wasted two hours of my life on the first two episodes will be the one regret I have when I die.

As if Han Solo and Princess Leia assembled a crew and went on adventures. Lots of Whedon's witty dialogue executed well, especially by Fillion and Tudyk. Crew dynamics are interesting. Each episode mostly self-contained--some really good others just OK.

Shows a lot of potential in the few episodes created, but tragically wasn't allowed to live long enough to make good on it.
