I've been watching Firefly through Netflix for the last couple of months. I have to slip the disks in among family movies and stuff my wife will like. I should get disk 3 in a couple of days.
I really do love the relationships between the characters.
Yay. I love finding out about a good TV series after it's all over, and then getting the entire thing on DVD and watching it. Boyfriend and I did that a few weeks ago with Deadwood, although we were bitterly disappointed with the ending. Next time I'm in town we might try The Wire.
might try?
Its
the best thing to have came out on TV of all time. You need to give it a few episodes to get into it, at first it might seem like a typical cops'n'dealers drama, but its so much more than that, every character is beautifully crafted, amazingly cast and acted, the writing is simply unparalleled in modern tv/film. Its not a 'quick' episodic tv piece, so you need to give yourself a few episodes before you can really tell whether you'll like it or not, but inaccessibility comes from the same depth that makes it such a high quality piece.
Its such a radical departure from standard media, i never really "got it" until after the 3rd episode of the first series, its extremely difficult to encapsulate what makes it so great without sounding really arsey and inarticulate.

Torrent that shit then send buckets of money to the creators when you realize how amazing it is.
oh and don't trawl youtube for clips or you'll end up ruining ALOT of major story developments for yourself, the whole 5 series work as a continual piece, so its not some formulaic bullshit you can just dip in and out of and still get the same experience if you watch it canonically
