Who would have thought Western and Sci-Fi could mix? This show is brilliant. If you're into Sci-Fi at all, you will love Firefly. If you're not, you may still love it. To be honest, the first time I heard the theme song, I wondered why people liked that tune, but that song grows on you. You will end up singing it. The show itself is intriguing. You root for the characters as you see them be both good and bad at the same time, because they are rogues and thieves with a conscience... except for one of them, but you see him possibly starting to develop one... and there's always good humor to be had as well. If you'd like a negative about the show, I could mention that my husband finds the mechanic to not be a very believable character. He does not think she could know was much as she does being as young as her character is supposed to be, but he is very into the show as well. He's not generally into sci-fi, but after every episode, he wanted to see the next. You will, too! The series was cancelled, so be prepared for a lack of closure during the series. If you are interested, however, there is some closure provided by the movie Serenity.
