Amazon.co.uk Review
Much praised and much missed after its premature cancellation, Firefly is the first SF TV series to be conceived by Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy and cocreator of Angel. Set five centuries in the future, it is a show where the mysterious personal pasts of the crew of the tramp spaceship Serenity continually surface. In fact, it's a Western in space where the losers in a Civil War are heading out to a barren frontier. Mal Reynolds is a man embittered by the war, yet whose love of his comrades perpetually dents his cynicism--even in the 14 episodes that exist we see him warm to the bubbly young mechanic Kaylee, the preacher Book, the idealistic doctor Simon, even to the often demented River, Simon's sister, the psychic result of malign experiments.
Firefly is also about adult emotional relationships, for example Kaylee's crush on Simon, the happy marriage of Mal's second officer Zoe and the pilot Wash, the disastrous erotic stalemate between Mal and the courtesan Inara. Individual episodes deal with capers going vaguely wrong, or threats narrowly circumvented; character and plot arcs were starting to emerge when the show was cancelled. Fortunately, the spin-off movie Serenity ties up some of the ends; and in the meantime, what there is of Firefly is a show to marvel at, both for its tight writing and ensemble acting, and the idiocy of the executives who cancelled it.

As far as I can tell, it has all the features except the easter egg I just could not find.
3 Discs, no memory, you have to remember where you were when you press stop.
Typically irritating menu system - Fox have used it forever and I wish they'd stop.
1st time round - DVD - I did not get beyond, indeed did not finish the second episode.
Now I know why - it was written in 2 days as a studio preferred pilot instead of the feature length opener.
THIS time I got the discs on special and wanted to watch it to see for myself.
Not sorry I did, but just as I did not "get" Buffy or Angel, I do not understand the hype about this either.
I agree with many other reviewers that it did not know what it wanted to be and, while well cast, the cast was not well served in this so were wasted.
The movie answers key questions but is the most awful Hollywood garbage.
Indeed knowing "the truth" from the movie convinces me this COULD have been a hit like Babylon 5 - a saga exploring a dystopia from a different perspective.
I got the Star Trek vibe early on - the movie adds Star WARS - it is to the big screen what this is to the small.
Strong overtones of Blakes 7, The Prisoner, Stanley Kubrick and many more - too many ideas and homages.
Unforturtunately, Joss Whedon seems to attract the more obsessive types and thus creates the fandom phenomenon now a byword for people who follow a show just to see how it turns out.
This show is better known for send ups and references to it than the show itself.
Most of the themes explored are universal and just as relevant today as then - possibly more so.
If you can spare £30 for this & the movie, or less used - try it, it's marmite.
Personally I found it mostly watchable, maybe i'll rewatch it maybe not.
