Editorial Reviews:

Five hundred years in the future there's a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space.

Summary: Best Series I've Ever Seen
Comment: Firefly is the best TV series I've ever seen, not just the best Sci-Fi series I've ever seen. The characters have real depth to them, and the stories are rich in human nature. It is a tragedy the series' life was cut short by corporate shenanigans.

Summary: Best Television Series, Ever
Comment: Easily the best television show I have ever seen. How even Fox cancelled this show, I can't really say.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Outstanding show
Comment: I'm sure that with all the 5 star reviews you see, you can pretty much guess what you can expect with this box set. Its a spectacular show with a great script that died before its time. At the current $20 price, its a bargain to buy.

Summary: 20/20 Hindsight
Comment: The now-unemployed executives at Fox canceled this series after tinkering with content, casting, sequence of shows and time slot. The same folks who canceled Dark Angel pulled the plug on Firefly. The cast Christmas party became a final wrap party. However, the creator, writers and 9-member ensemble cast all went on the remarkable later success.
The Firefly DVD, peppered with "Copyright: FOX TV" captions (as if Fox did anything but thwart and hinder the production), has sold >600,000 copies. Its eleven episodes are a must-see for any drama, action, adventure, sci-fi or space fantasy fan. With strong and compelling stories from the Mutant Enemy (Buffy; Angel; Serenity...) stable of writers, my household remains amazed that that the network wonderkids didn't grasp the point or potential of this excellent work.
Compounding their error, they axed Firefly without allowing for a complete season. Adding to its foolishness to incompetency, Fox didn't even air two of the episodes it paid for, making this DVD the only way to see the incohate 11-episode work (the sets, cast and creator going on to make a smash motion picture from the left overs). Sheeeesh!
There is no one under the age of 100 who won't enjoy the creative writing, emmy-nominated acting, cinamatography and "wow" special effects offered here by Joss Whedon and friends.

Summary: One more short review for a glorious show
Comment: Thousands of fantastic reviews. Must add my voice to the choir. If only in the vain hope of another season, another movie, something similar...
I really wish they would bring back The Dresden Files as well.
