Joss Whedon, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fame, hits another nail right on the head with his western/sci-fi hybrid. Combining his penchant for creating funny involving characters with his ability to enthrall viewers, this series may just be his finest work.

The opening sequence to this series features a country western song written by himself that sums up the feeling of the entire world it revolves around. Dusty remote colonies trying to survive in an almost lawless universe. Costumes and characters both make you believe that the wild west can exist hundreds of years in the future out in space, with accents and gestures mimicking a good old western on the big screen. Special effects unlike any other sci-fi, realistic yet different, adding yet another unique twist to Whedon's take on the genre.

Using the same formula as Buffy and Angel, this series combines the dramatic and thrilling with witty humour, never ceasing to make you laugh and pick up quotes you can't help but remember!

If I carry on I might give away too much. And nothin' in the 'verse will make you guys forgive me for it once you've bought this boxset.

Canned after the first series, fox released this series on DVD with extras such as commentaries by cast on certain episodes, and never before aired episodes to boot. All goodies you learn to love once you've seen the series.

The DVD boxes feature the actors dressed in character, with the ship firefly in the background. Very nicely presented.

DVD menu isn't as nice. My personal view is that it doesn't suit the opening sequence or style of the series, but nonetheless acceptable.

All in all an absorbing, can't stop watching, must see again and again series. With extras that only add to the spark and wonder of the original show.
