Firefly -which features cowboyish, occasionally Chinese speaking, characters who cruise around space in the future - is, quite possibly, the worst television show I have ever seen. The acting, writing and special effects are all SHOCKINGLY bad. It is really almost unbelievable how bad this show is. To the fans: YOU'RE CRAZY! To the interested: BEWARE!-Netflix Review
Is there any truth to this? I know that I should form my own opinions but? I dont know, what are your responses to this criticism?
Welcome aboard! I just so happen to have sodas in the fridge here, and your welcome too them. just *grab* one out if you're thirsty. Ignore who ever wrote these bad reviews, and frankly, the only way to judge ANYTHING is to as you say, form your own opinions. If your parents are REALLY worried about questionable subject matter, have them watch Firefly first, or even better watch it with you! That way the "Browncoats" will get three new converts, and you and your parents can spend some family time together!
since you're new to the 'verse here's some slang you may see on this site:
Select to view spoiler:
Browncoats: part of the firefly 'verse also known as independents. In the real world they're BIG fans of Firefly/Serenity.
Flan(s): slip of the tongue by Nathan Fillion when interviewed at Serenity's premiere.

Edit:Man! Too slow with the converts remark!!

For what it's worth, I have an 8 year old son and he got to watch everything but War Stories and Heart of Gold. I imagine if you are over 8, you can handle a little innuendo and sex. I drive a school bus and the middle schoolers know more than I do.

Why yes, I am forgetting Jossisagod! Shame on me. I got so caught up in reassuring SP33D that Firefly/Serenity was worth the time that I forgot... I'll remedy that immediately.
And thanks...
I always appreciate the help. I feel so bad when I miss 'coats."You hold. Hold 'til I get back." Mal

Hey, you're already an honorary Browncoat, you joined our merry crew didn't you? So, Jossisagod is right..
*hands SP33D a browncoat that fits perfectly*
You are a Browncoat.
Enjoy the series and come back and yack often with us. We're glad you are with us.

Okay, so Mal is naked on screen for 2 whole minutes in "Trash". Shiny!
Alright, what I really want to say.
I watched Serenity on a whim--absolutely fell inlove with it--married it even. Watched Firefly, the affair has continued. Why, you ask? Because it is so well written, so well acted (is that a word?), and the special effects are out of the world.
Seriously, some of the best damn dialogue...ever.
Violence and sexual content? Yeah. Avoid War Stories and Heart of Gold if either of those aren't your cup o'. No more intense in either catagory than CSI or Law and Order.

Oh, what I would give to be a Firefly virgin again and get to discover all the wonder that it is all over. But, then again, I am thoroughly enjoying the relationship as it develops.
There's no place I can be since I found serenity.

SP33D, mea culpa --
Like FM, I was more interested in answering your concerns than in "braining properly."
She has given you your coat.
I'm offering a bowl of berries.
And a mug of 3.2 Mudder's Milk.
It's part of our "welcome home" to the newly arrived.
Let us know how the viewing came out!
