      Critics Consensus

      Firefly earns its audience's adoration with the help of Nathan Fillion's dry delivery, a detailed fantasy world, and compelling storylines -- even if it doesn't stand with creator Joss Whedon's most consistent work. Read critic reviews

      Audience Reviews for Firefly: Season 1

      • Oct 23, 2023

        Firefly is my favourite tv series of all time. It's action/sci-fi with just the right amount of comedy and romance thrown in. Each character is memorable and unique, and the protagonist is flawed in an endearing way (in fact, every character has an equal balance of strengths and flaws, making them all extremely relatable and believable as a crew of a spaceship cruising the universe). It's a good example of 'found family'--this is a group of people who have grown close due to their need to survive and find meaning and joy in life. Only one season but there's a movie and lots of other material (I've read some of the graphic novels and they're pretty good too).

      • Oct 12, 2023

        One of the best tv show ever. It's incredible they didn't go beyond first season.

      • Sep 13, 2023

        Even 20 years later, still one of the best sci-fi shows of all time!

      • Sep 03, 2023

        One of the best fiction series of all time.

      • Aug 25, 2023

        Loved it! Great sci fi with some really good comedy/serious undertones. Actors shine in this

      • Jul 27, 2023

        A very warm tv show filled with adventure and good puns. This is one of my top 5 favorites, although it's hard for me to rationalize it; I guess it just fills a spot.

      • Jun 24, 2023

        A fantastic Sci-Fi series that ended far too so. Great story, Great Acting, Great setting, Great characters, this series is yet to be beaten.

      • May 29, 2023

        Loved it. Realy cool style.

      • May 17, 2023

        Nothing better in the whole 'verse.

      • Apr 17, 2023

        TV at its best. This space western has great values and strong leadership.
