Review of Firefly

Firefly (2002–2003)
10/10
One of the best shows in the last 20 years
30 August 2013
This is without a doubt one of the best TV shows of the last 20 years. Actually I first saw the movie Serenity first and then the TV show. I loved the movie and wanted more, especially after hearing Whedon on the commentary track referencing stuff from the TV show.

So I then bought the TV show on Blu-ray. At first I thought "What exactly is it? Sci-fi? Western?" I then realized that it is both, a perfect hybrid. The first time I saw the whole TV series I liked it, the second time I liked it even more, then the third time I started to love it. And then the fourth and fifth time I really loved it.

This is a show that gets better with each viewing. You realize new depths to each character every time you see it. I love writing like that, be it TV or movie (although you mostly would see that kind of writing in great movies).

I can understand why Fox canceled it, but they should have had more faith in it's creator and producer. He is creator of Buffy! This is a TV show that I will keep on re-watching again and again because I want to experience the world and characters again.

I love well told stories and this is as good as it gets.
