Joss Whedon attempted to follow up his successful series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the science fiction-themed Firefly. Although the series failed to garner a mass audience, it did have a loyal following. Those fans will be pleased by this box set that contains every episode of the series that aired, as well as three never-before-seen episodes. All 15 episodes are presented in anamorphic widescreen. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Commentaries are available on four of the episodes. Production featurettes, a blooper reel, and a tour of the set with Whedon round out this solid package that should be of interest to genre enthusiasts as well as Whedon's fans.

Amazing series cancelled too soon!

Firefly is an amazing series. Joss Whedon really impressed me as a long time Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. I truly didn't think anything could compare to Buffy but he managed to equal Buffy in creativity and ingenuity, and perhaps even surpassed it. It's hard to describe this show because you want to be so in depth and give away the episodes accidentally through your zealous explanation of why the show is as great as it is, but the safe answer when someone says, what is Firefly about is to say it's a space western. Entirely downplays the awesomeness that is the show but, in the simplest of terms, this is what it is. But it's so much more. There's humor, plenty of humor with the biting, sarcastic wit and banter that Buffy fans know and love, but there's also amazing dramatic elements to the show as well. It's a light hearted series with darker features and a great subplot. If you haven't seen it, but it. It's truly that good. I'm only sad we don't have more seasons of this show, but at least there's the movie Serenity, which you have to see after you buy Firefly. Heck, buy them both, it's a great investment if you're a fan of clever writing, on point acting, and really who isn't? Lol.
What's great about it: It's utterly perfect from the dialogue to the execution of that dialogue. Amazing cast. Original premise. Perfection.
What's not so great: Nothing. It's great. :)
I would recommend this to a friend!
