Firefly
Firefly is a sci-fi television show produced by Joss Whedon that aired in 2002 for one season. It starred Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, and Adam Baldwin.
Plot: Set 500 years in the future, this show follows the ship, Serenity, and its misfit crew as they go from one dangerous job to the next. Constantly hunted by the Alliance (an over-reaching government) as criminals, this crew has to figure out how to survive this and each other.
My Take: Yet another Joss Whedon project that got cancelled far too soon. 14 episodes and one feature length movie (Serenity, to be reviewed elsewhere) are all we have of this delightful, surprising television show. Equal parts western/Star Wars/comedy/sci-fi show, the characters are extremely well-developed and well-written. The dialogue is crisp and frequently hysterical. Viewers were so distraught following the premature cancelling of the show that they successfully petitioned to have the show be made into a feature-length film.
