| Maybe it got cancelled due to bad marketing. I see this, and I don't want to watch it. What is it, space soap opera? |
There's this bizarre half-western, half-futuristic atmosphere hanging over the series, kind of emulating older science fiction movies, which is somewhat interesting, and every episode has a refreshingly original adventure to present, unlike some other series that quickly fall into a pattern. Original regarding other science fictio.n "Space Mercenary", I mean.
On top of that, most characters in this renegade crew have some kind of mystery, a question that surrounds them, and the show gives you hints but never answers that question, making Firefly more interesting.
Besides, the special effects are very good for a 2002 series, further immersing you in the experience.
Unfortunately, the series got canceled. Star Wars Saga cost 2 billion plus, a new series they are airing with already three seasons, which costs 15 million per episode. Firefly just cost 40 million, and yet never got a second chance. Does that seem right to you?

| I did find it a bit unnecessary, the whole "I'll rape the mechanic girl," but it was a common trope at the time. I think. |
