Witty, humorous, and a terrific cast
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!

This show getting canceled is a testament as to how disconected Hollywood is from what people like me want from a tv series.
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!

Rave reaction
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.

It looks like something went really wrong at the Lego factory because, when Jenny at The Bloggess opened her 30th Anniversary minifig celebration pack, she got a whole bunch of transvestite minifigs. "I think Eddie Izzard in drag is 10 times hotter than Brad Pitt covered in nougat, but this is just bizarre," Jenny says. And I agree. Seeing all those moustaches and cleavages up close is kind of disturbing:
