I love the Firefly TV series & the Serenity Movie. The DVD Extras on BOTH are amazing & I'm not one to watch DVD extras either. These really got me hooked on Joss Whedon.
You should too!
What's great about it: Joss Whedon IS A GENIUS - FireFly & Serenity are AWESOME journeys.
What's not so great: The MPAA sucks, the DMCA sucks, they are greedy associations.

The cast of characters is fascinating and draw you into their story, you just can't wait to see what will be revealed about them in the future. A 'space Western'. Lots of humor and warmth in a great setting. Long live the Serenity! Joss Whedon is the master.
What's great about it: This was one of the best series ever on TV.

You can't top Firefly. Especially for the $10-ish i got it for. It comes in flimsy plastic cases which are little more than a sleeve, but stop thinking and enjoy it for the content and the price.

Firefly was just put on the wrong network. SciFi is great and plenty of people loved it but none of SciFi originals are properly marketed. If this was on a major network, it would be a household name today. Excellent show. Great comic relief. Impressive film-making with beautiful backgrounds. Also has a great theme song you quickly begin to love.

If you've never seen Firefly, Fox's great Sci-Fi show, I wouldn't be surprised. The show was not advertised at all, and they dropped it right after it started because no one watched it. I think if this show would have kept going it would have been a lot more than an underground hit.
Anyway, if you like Sci-Fi then you will probably love this show. If you like western themes this show will also be for you. It takes place in the far future, and follows a group of smugglers on their passings with warlord like scumbags and the giant republic ships who ignore the less rich planets. It really makes you root for the group, even if the things they are doing would be considered bad. The show has lots of action, but also has a lighter side and will make you laugh at times. There is also a lot of character development throughout the series.
The good thing about this is the whole series fits in one box, the bad thing is some of the plot is cut off when they pulled the show from the airwaves. If you go in expecting to be disappointed by an abrupt ending you will like it.
Don't waste your time with Serenity. The movie picks up where the show left off, but changed the feel to a Sci-Fi horror, and ruins a lot of story that should be resolved but now can't because of killed characters. If you have to see it, I'd say rent, because it is a disservice to the show in my opinion.
What's great about it: Great characters, plots, overarching themes.
What's not so great: The series was never finished, and given a bad movie to cap it off.
