Cowboys in space. That is what my friend told me when he recommended 'Firefly' I mean what is not to like, cowboys in space, it is every boys dream combination. Where the inner worlds are ruled under the fist of law, the outer worlds are home to farmers and gangs, a clever range of technology between each world makes it feel like they really are different planets.
This is a brilliant series about a team of freelancers who will do any job to put fuel in the engines and food on the table. Its has action, laughs, suspense, a compelling back-story, oh and a tad of romance thrown in for good measure.
With jobs such as cattle rustling, the bank and train job, western lovers will feel right at home in this brilliant show.
If you love Sci-fi, action, or just want a good drama, this series is perfect for you.
Once finished with this series keep an eye out for the sequel and also excellent film. 'Serenity' more of the same yet even better.
