Why You Should Watch Firefly
Firefly combines science fiction and western, funny situations and drama. The world in which the action takes place is called one of the best sci-fi universes. A world in which the Earth has exhausted its resources, and people set off to conquer new planets. It has a place for high-tech planets-megacities in the center, and small towns and wastelands with the atmosphere of the Wild West in the outlying worlds.
Despite the fact that the series has enough shootouts and action, the main thing in it is the relationship between the characters. They are all different, colorful, memorable. Whedon himself said that this is a series about nine people who look into the darkness of space and see nine different things.
The series was closed in the first season, but this did not prevent him from becoming a cult and gaining a lot of fans. You won't want to part with the Serenity team either.
