I am one of the original browncoat fans - I watched this show live on Fox back when it was originally broadcast. I would tell all my friends to come over and watch it when it was on (not that it did us any good, it was still canceled in the end).
This is character drama at its finest. By the end of the first episode, you will already love the characters. All the more amazing is that there are so many characters to know! But as the show goes on, you learn a little more about each of them. It's rare that you find a TV show that makes the people the center of the show, but this show pulls it off in spades.
Did I mention that it's a show set in space, and sometimes they act a little bit like cowboys? Don't let that throw you off. For most movies or TV shows that are set in space, I'd say "If you're not a fan of this genre, this show/movie/whatever won't change your mind." Well, in this case, don't worry about the space or cowboy theme - this show WILL change your mind. You will grow fond of the people and the ship they travel in, come to appreciate the worlds they travel through and the characters they meet, and be shocked by the choices they make.
I as much as any original browncoat was crushed to see the show get canceled: imagine all the stories they could have told! We could have found out more about the blue-handed men, or what Shephard Book's past was, or what was up with Inara's vial - but we really never will. Instead, we got some of the best TV you'll ever see in a very imaginative world.
I should point out that every one of my friends that I showed the show to ended up loving it. All of them, even my friends that "don't watch TV."
You will be quoting this show for a while: "Pain is scary." "Shiny." "You buy this ship, treat her proper, she'll be with you the rest of your life."
Trust me, it's worth it. Keep flying.Get more detail about Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray].
