As the 2005 theatrical release of Serenity made clear, Firefly was a science fiction concept that deserved a second chance. Devoted fans (or "Browncoats") knew it all along, and with this well-packaged DVD set, those who missed the show's original broadcasts can see what they missed. Creator Joss Whedon's ambitious science-fiction Western (Whedon's third series after Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) was canceled after only 11 of these 14 episodes had aired on the Fox network, but history has proven that its demise was woefully premature. Whedon's generic hybrid got off to a shaky start when network executives demanded an action-packed one-hour premiere ("The Train Job"); in hindsight the intended two-hour pilot (also titled "Serenity," and oddly enough, the final episode aired) provides a better introduction to the show's concept and splendid ensemble cast. Obsessive fans can debate the quirky logic of combining spaceships with direct parallels to frontier America (it's 500 years in the future, and embattled humankind has expanded into the galaxy, where undeveloped "outer rim" planets struggle with the equivalent of Old West accommodations), but Whedon and his gifted co-writers and directors make it work, at least well enough to fashion a credible context from the incongruous culture-clashing of past, present, and future technologies, along with a polyglot language (the result of two dominant superpowers) that combines English with an abundance of Chinese slang.
What makes it work is Whedon's delightfully well-chosen cast and their nine well-developed characters--a typically Whedon-esque extended family--each providing a unique perspective on their adventures aboard Serenity, the junky but beloved "Firefly-class" starship they call home. As a veteran of the disadvantaged Independent faction's war against the all-powerful planetary Alliance (think of it as Underdogs vs. Overlords), Serenity captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) leads his compact crew on a quest for survival. They're renegades with an amoral agenda, taking any job that pays well, but Firefly's complex tapestry of right and wrong (and peace vs. violence) is richer and deeper than it first appears. Tantalizing clues about Blue Sun (an insidious mega-corporation with a mysteriously evil agenda), its ties to the Alliance, and the traumatizing use of Serenity's resident stowaway (Summer Glau) as a guinea pig in the development of advanced warfare were clear indications Firefly was heading for exciting revelations that were precluded by the series' cancellation. Fortunately, the big-screen Serenity (which can be enjoyed independently of the series) ensured that Whedon's wild extraterrestrial west had not seen its final sunset. Its very existence confirms that these 14 episodes (and enjoyable bonus features) will endure as irrefutable proof Fox made a glaring mistake in canceling the series. --Jeff Shannon

Fantastic!!!!!! November 18, 2008
This series was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing, acting, directing, and story lines. I can't believe the series was cancelled.
Great series...why did it have to go!? November 16, 2008
My wife and I both loved this series. I have no idea why it didn't get renewed. Good story, characters, universe, etc. Much better than so many of the cookie cutter sci fi sitcoms that are out today.
Absolutely love it! November 12, 2008
I'm not really sure why I didn't hear about these Firefly series until this year. I'm kinda upset I didn't get to support this awesome series back when it first came out.
After watching the first episode, I instantly fell in love with everything from the characters to the story itself. I just can't believe this series got cancelled. I love the cast, every single one of them fit in well and have their own unique roles. Each episodes have a beginning and an end, leaving you satisfied each and every episode.
And finally, it's a sci-fi series for those of us that have grew out of Star Wars genre, but not quite old enough to enjoy Star Strek. I love the adult humor in Firefly, it's mature and refreshing. Each episode makes me LOL. I've personally always found Star Wars to be a tad kiddish & cheesey at times, while Star Trek to be a tad slow & boring. Firefly keeps me interested, laughing, and it has plenty of action.
Anyways, I highly recommend this to any sci-fi fans. I can only hope there will be more in the future, as I've already grown attached to the cast of this series. Both my g/f and I are sad when we finished the last DVD and realized there are no more. Please, someone, pick this up and let it keep going.
Great series November 11, 2008
The series is great. The DVD's themselves and the boxes look suspiciously cheaply printed and made but the series itself is great. The company I bought it from shipped the set poorly and the case was completely bent up and several DVD's had slipped in their cases and were sliding around loose, a few minor scratches didn't hurt it though.
A favorite, and a tragedy... November 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been a long-time sci-fi fan, from Star Trek to Farscape, but Firefly stands out as one of my very favorites. The tragedy is that it was cancelled by Fox way before it's time. I believe Fox made a huge error in judgement, taking what could have been the next sci-fi classic of X-Files proportions, and throwing it to the wind. Thankfully, the movie "Serenity" gave us some kind of conlusion, yet I can't help but miss all the great stories that could-have-been between the TV series and the movie. So, it will stand as one of my favorites, but that will always come with a touch of frustration that it could have been so much more.
