A very funny, very hip, very terrific sci-fi show.
'Firefly' benefits enormously from Whedon's ability to take the clichés of any genre and give them a good, hard yank.

Wonderful. Just wonderful. The character development in this hilarious yet also deep and impactful series is amzaing, and it is such a shame it was cut short, as the series was set up to easily run on for five or six more solid seasons. The only bad thing I can think of is the incompleted plot, but that is only because they canceled the show due to advertising and marketing stuff. Since then, the show has gained a cult following of practically everyone who has seen the show. 11/10 (extra point for the great concept that could have been expanded and made even better (if that's even possible))

I watched the whole series last year. There simply aren't enough.
This is a new genre. I want more. Sure, I watched the movies
I still want more

Based on tonight's premiere, this mix of "Star Wars" and "Stagecoach" could prove to be visually ambitious, thematically provocative and full of crackling dialogue. [20 Sept 2002, p.1]
The characters, initially at least, aren't nearly so original and fully imagined, and that's a problem in any show. Fortunately, in space, no one can hear you yawn.[20 Sept 2002, p.46]
Whedon's dialogue here, without contemporary pop culture to play against, feels a touch heavy. And there's only one great laugh, rare for so clever a writer. The result is that Firefly is intriguing but not compelling, but it least has the promise of a bright fellow at the helm. [20 Sept 2002, p.C3]
Firefly does some pretty fancy flitting now and then, but for the most part it's a trip that's been taken too many times before.
The only thing deep in tonight's Firefly premiere, though, is the well of cliches into which Whedon dips for what passes for plot and exposition. [20 Sept 2002, p.B02]
This is the best sci-fi series ever! The acting is excellent. On-screen chemistry is clearly excellent and what's great is that the actors have remained friends ever since, often appearing in each others shows. The firefly fan community has remained steadfast on wanting the series returned - that is how much this show is lived and how much it has brought people together. Love it!

Best space western that has or ever will be made. Somehow this was canceled but Batwoman will get a season 2. It's ridiculous.

This piece of entertainment is arguably the most imeersive adventure/sci-fi. Despite it's minor disadvantages (like how is Inara's job respectable in the future, or why Jane (doesn't) betray the crew under different circumstances... and, of course, THE GRAPHIX (even by the standards of it's time and it's place) "Firefly" is still worth all the best ratings and hopefully - some sort of continuation (ideological at least). Yes, I've just said it in 2020, more than 17 years past it's over. Only this fact tells everything about "Firefly".
