A future that isn't shiny
Forget about phasers, light sabers, and doors that go 'Swoosh' - the world of Firefly is far from perfect.
In a future where technology is horded by those with power the different settings are as varied as they are spectacular. From the technology rich core planets, to the edges of colonised space where a fast set of wheels is a horse and cart.
The crew of Serenity comprises an array of characters from mercenary to diplomat, mechanic to preacher, each bringing a vital element to the success of the series. Firefly provides a welcome breath of fresh air into the space genre providing a series set in a universe we can all relate to - where people make the best of what they've got.
Joss Whedon has produced a remarkable series here, taking the best elements of his work on Buffy and Angel to produce this cult classic. This is a truly magnificent series that will leave you desperately wanting more and wondering why on earth was it cancelled by its US producers after such a short run? -

Mixed feelings
The characters are very likable and most of the episodes have an entertaining story line, but I found the mixture of traditional Western characteristics thrown in with futuristic space travel just don't seem to gel.
In one scene, they're riding horses alongside space-age land hovercraft type vehicles. Then they're using a 6 six shooter and a rifle straight out of a Clint Eastwood cowboy movie together with some futuristic laser gun. I do enjoy a good Western, and also enjoy Sci-fi, but not from the same pot. It just stretches the imagination a bit too far. Generally the acting, special effects and scripting are good though.
Overall I'd say it's worth a watch. -
