Firefly - The Complete Series Review

First, let me preface this review by telling you that I am not a sci-fi lover... I just happened to marry one.

My husband bought the complete series of Firefly when it came out on DVD and promptly watched the entire thing straight through - with me sitting in on a good portion of the episodes. After one, I was hooked. The storyline is a tad hard to follow at first (eh, are we in the future? the past? what's with the western gear and spaceship being on the same show?) but once you let go of your grip on reality and clear your mind, the show is fantastic.

The only reason I knocked my rating down a star is because there is only one season of Firefly to enjoy - it was sadly cancelled much, much too soon. The characters are great, the wit and comedic timing throughout is impressive and the show itself is just very well written. If you can handle and accept the fact that the last episode is really the end, then the series is worth picking up on DVD and watching in a mad weekend marathon. If an anti-sci-fi wife can fall for the show, you can too.
