When I saw the first episode I was confused, it made little sense. Much later I learned that FOX decided to show the episodes out of order. Kind of like showing a football game with 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.
The show was well written and acted. It seemed that the actors knew each other well enough to react naturally (Mal acting surprised versus "Mal acts surprised"). I've sometimes wondered how much of the show was ad libbed.
I've enjoyed Nathan Fillion in "Castle" but but Summer Glau was my favorite in the show and continues as such.
The show had a unique and different view of the future and space travel. Not utopian, not distopian. Kind of what society is like now. Some bad, some good, some selfish, some selfless. And the characters, although intended to be likable, did have a dark side to each, which made them human.
I was sadly disappointed with "Serenity", although it did have a solid conclusion.
Buy the show (sad when you can get the entire series on one Blu Ray disk, WITH extras) then watch it as intended.
