As someone who loves firefly and is actually planning to start a rewatch later tonight...it's really not that good of a show...

    I disagree. I actually held of rewatching for a long time to get as much as possible the feel for seeing it anew again. Finally did it last year and wow. I mean we likely have differences in experience and opinion but literally each line of dialogue was often so good to me. I practically wanted to cry. its more than the story and I realize its common folk fare but its so rare to get a cast that jives so well along with scripts and characterizations that just meld. I am someone who is not going to put citizen cane in a best move ranking though.

    Ya know what? When you're right you're right.

    Specifically, I would agree that the characters are pretty great and work very well together.

    The rest, I would say is about mid for a TV show, but TV shows have also fallen off pretty hard since then. There's a decent amount of campiness, which strongly contrasts with how firefly superfans tend to describe it. The fan base definitely affected my previously stated opinion. It's a pretty good show, but it's not a great show that I would expect to see on a top x list.
