Firefly: Complete Series (Blu-ray)

How this show was cancelled halfway through the first season is beyond me...it is, quite simply, superb.

Great characters, great stories, great acting, great special effects...you name it this show has got it in bucket loads.

I've watched every episode numerous times and (whilst some are definitely better than others) the standard is consistently high.

Only came to this show after watching the movie "Serenity" which is also a fantastic film.

Must admit I'm hoping for a second movie, but it's looking very unlikely.

Buy this box set - you won't regret it - and mention how good it is to everyone who'll listen to you...that way the people in power might take note and either set up another series or, at the very least, get another film into production!

It was a crime against entertainment that this show was cancelled before its time. Quite possibly the best sci-fi tv show of all time, if not the best TV show of all time.

The characters are brilliant and believable, loveable and noble despite their flaws and differing views on subjects and situations. You always find yourself rooting for them but not through the typical "they are the good guys so you feel you must" sort of way, but rather because you genuinely feel for them and have a real attachment to them.

The overarching story line is great and full of mystery which keeps you involved and the stories of each episode are intriguing, full of twists and unexpected surprises.

It's fast, funny, action packed and often very deep and inspiring with a perfect wild west meets scifi aesthetic. It's also got plenty of great quotable lines, too.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this series. If you own the DVDs, buy the Blu Rays. If you don't own either, then make sure you do. This series and the accompanying, and equally awesome movie (Serenity) are essential additions to any self respecting sc-fi fan's collection.

With 5 reviews all with 5 stars you expect this to be a brillant Sci Fi TV series.

I hink this is not the case, my option.

It is a cheap budget TV series which combines bits of farscape, the A team and wild west and it does not work on many levels. Usually each episode has a bar fight with stoods or chairs being thrown and smashed over the bad guys heads and then the ship comes and picks them up.

If you want strong characters, good story lines, good special effects then watch startrek, babylon 5, stargate, stargate atlantis, fringe, grimm or eureka. You will not be disappointed with these series.

If you want bad stories, scripts, cheap sets and not so good special effects then buy firefly.

That said, the film Serenity based on Firefly is far better and IS worth watching, in my option.

Even tho this series feels incomplete. I stil consider it one of the best series i have ewer seen.

Brilliant!!!!!
Im not a fan of space movies and rediculas Aliens, which is why i love this!

Its simply Human in the future, although im not a fan of space wars, this is not too 'in your face' flying ships..... Its what goes on inside..
Think 'red dead redemption' meets ...... The year 5000 (future)
