Firefly The Complete Series



Product Description
Five hundred years in the future, there’s a whole new frontier, and a crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They’ll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space.

On the Blu-ray discs
Firefly has a picture that's a little softer than most Blu-ray discs (especially in the effects shots), but it is an improvement over the DVDs (even in an upconverting DVD player or Blu-ray player), and the punchy sound (DTS HD 5.1 compared to the DVDs' 2.0 surround) is a definite upgrade. In addition to the original bonus features, there are a couple new ones: a 25-minute conversation among Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Ron Glass, and Alan Tudyk in which they discuss the series and a number of specific episodes (Fillion recalls thinking he was getting fired after the first episode), and a new commentary track by the four fellows on "Our Mrs. Reynolds." And since it's easy to get sucked into watching multiple episodes, it's nice to have a Play All feature on the BDs. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews
I would give it 10 stars if i could By hi
Great show. I mean great!!! Please bring it back. This was a winner. I will probably buy it again to watch.

Good Stuff By K. Carter (All Over the Place, US)
I borrowed the series from a friend and really enjoyed it. Was ecstatic to see the blu-ray for $19. Highly recommend and sad there's only one season.

Great show By ABenn
This is a great series that targets all audiences! Great cast, great story line, and unlike many shows, they wrap it up nicely with a movie to follow up the season. Still wish they had brought it back for more seasons.

Firefly: Love it By S. Andersen
I love this TV series. I am so happy to own it on DVD. I just wish that Firefly would have continued for additional seasons.

Greatest series ever made By OvechKing
Greatest series ever made, too bad it was on Fox. How can you make a great show better, release on Blu-Ray with more features and better quality.

Can't stop watching By Tess
Very watchable and addictive don't want to get to the last episode cause I don't want it to finish. All the characters are gorgeous and totally different creating a wonderful mix keeping stories real and alive.

One of the best Sci-Fi series! By S. M. Rathburn (Central Vermont)
After watching the series on Science channel I saw this Blu-ray. The picture is great, the menu's are a bit clunky but don't let that bother your enjoyment of this great series.

Great TV Program By meowza (Greenville, TX United States)
I had never heard of this program until it was mentioned on The Big Bang Theory by Sheldon (this is also a great TV show, especially if you are a geek, I'm not but I live with an old one). Firefly has wonderful characters. I loved seeing Ron Glass again after all these years since Barney Miller (one of the funniest TV comedies). Firefly is a treat and so sad it only ran for one season. I think it would be enjoyed by any age group.

I love this series By Brad Bernard
I just watched this series on Netflix. It's awesome. I really love it and am ordering it right now from Amazon. I'm a bit bummed I didn't catch it when it was first aired and I'm extremely bummed it's not still on the air. It really is great!!

Best Science Fiction Series ever By Professor (NY)
Clever, great effects, great actors, great scripts. What more is there? And the Bluray shows it all off clearly. Too bad there were so few episodes...although the follow-up movie, Serenity, provided some closure.
