Download takes awhile, but the picture quality was great, even full screen. It played all the way through. And, to boot, it's an excellent show.

Really a shame they stopped this series! The characters are complex, layered and are slowly revealed as the story unfolds. Refreshingly dark and innovative perspective from an underdog point of view - had Fox continued the series I suspect that it may have faired as well as the new Battle Star Galactica. Unfortunately, management saw fit to attempt to direct the plot far too much "trying to cheer it up". Lots of potential for increasing depth of characters and plot twists and lots of fun moments that reflect what we all have thought at one time or another when trapped in a challenging situation. Still worth the rent and if you like SyFy it's a fun ride.

This show is one of my all time favorites for so many reasons. The situations the crew get placed in aren't too novel for the most part, as many are spin-offs of old-school western motifs, but the combining of futuristic technology with rustic badassery makes it seem new and novel. What really makes the show though, is the writing and the characters. Captain Reynolds(Nathan Fillion) is to me, the single greatest television characters ever and the chemistry between him and the rest of the crew is great. The show maneuvers between serious and comedic seamlessly and for a show that is not billed as a pure comedy, has some of the wittiest banter you'll find anywhere. The only downside to this television show is that when it is over, it leaves you with a feeling of sadness, as you realize all the loose plot threads that were left unanswered, will more than likely never BE answered, and you begin to think of what could have been had it not been for Fox's massacring of this amazing show.

GO browncoats!

I don't think there's much I can say about Firefly that hasn't already been said. I love it. I always will. Would someone please give Nathan Fillion a job where he isn't under Fox's thumb?

I had never watched even one minute of Firefly or Serenity, the tv show or the movie. Until today. I forced myself to watch this, more out of curiosity or boredom I'm not sure which, but mainly because Amazon just added it to Prime free streaming. Amazing show, totally amazing. Now i see what all the hoopla was about. That just paid for my Prime membership. Can't wait to watch the rest of season 1.

Such a shame it only has one season. Imagine if ST:TNG was only one season. Such a loss to have this show pulled before its time.

Probably the second best show of all time, after the 7 season epic West Wing. This show has a great cast with amazing chemistry, an amazing plot, and super witty writing. I find new jokes every time I watch it.

The first thing I look for when I want to watch a new show on TV or go see a movie is if it has a Firefly cast member in it. If it does I know I will like it whatever it is. When I saw "Serenity" at the theater it was the first time I was happy to be at a sold out show ... every seat in the house was full ... usually I wait to see a film because I don't like to be disturbed by others, but in this instance I was happy to feel connected to so many people that felt the same way about the show that I did.

Firelfy was once again a show ahead of its time. Unfortunate that it did not become popular until after the show was cancelled. Some may ask if this be the case, how could it be so good? Just ask Star Trek fans as the same happened from the orginal Star Trek. Defiantely a show (and movie i.e. Serenity that I have watch several times over and will continue to enjoy.

I'm glad to see Firefly has made it to Amazon Instant Video. Fans of Joss Whedon, or new fans of his work, please check out Firefly. You may just become another fan of this great series.

Can't stop the signal.
