Also, to the OP, when you say you hated "the main guy" were you referring to Mal Reynolds, or to the irritating doctor guy? 'Cause while the main plotline of the show revolves around nerdboy and his crazy sister, they're not the main characters. And i don't blame anyone for hating River or her doctor brother, 'cause they pissed me off bigtime.

I think it has something to do with space and bounty hunters or something.
I loved it to death when I saw it, and I watched the entire series/movie a few times, but I've deliberately avoided watching it for the past few years because I have a feeling it's something I'll start to get sick of pretty soon.
It's a re-write of a number of other Cowboys in Space movies. It's well done, but it's just a re-hash of things done before.
I'm the opposite. I loved Buffy and came to love Angel after I'd been through Buffy and figured everyone out except for the stupid son sub-plot. I also loved Dollhouse. That took some time for me, I couldn't stop thinking "oh, it's Eliza Dushku in cute outfits" then it seemed the story really took off and I was thinking a Neo-like "whoa".Hungry Donner said:
But Firefly never got me. I recently re-watched it and Serenity. Serenity was ok but Firefly was kinda meh. I can take the rebuilding of planets and horses and farmsteads, no problem with that. But the language - why the Old West talk? Where'd that come from? Are we really supposed to believe that just because a society lives in a non-modern evironment (even though they got there by travelling through SPACE in their SPACESHIPS, er "boats") they automatically revert to M'am-ing and "well I rekon"? I was wondering when Mal would actually be hornswaggled (whatever the hell that is). Which is too bad because I thought the story and general writing and acting was good, but the language ruined it for me.
This thread made me go watch the first four episodes, and I've got to say.... eeeehhhhh. A 7/10 at most. Maybe it gets better later on, but the characters get annoying and cliche, and I don't know what language they just randomly start speaking on occasion, but some subtitles would be nice when they do. Also that little five-second bit of western music they keep playing over and over and over. And I wanted to surgically remove Kaylee's jaw before the end of first episode.
Meh. I liked it.
However, it started getting better towards the end, which is why its annoying it got cancelled.
I disliked the movie, though. It was medicore at its very best.

Great, congratulations for having an opinion.
Seriously, why are so many Escapists so goddamn insecure that they have to come racing to the internet for approval every time they have an independent thought? Sorry if that's mean, but we have WAY too many damn topics like this.

It's okay. I don't think it is the second coming like fans keep going on about. Fans are usually the worst part about any show, and with Firefly, they go to extra lengths to be annoying.
All the fans wining about how the show got cancelled can do to stop that. They should appreciate that if barely enough people watch his show, it won't get more seasons. Popular shows do. The fact that Firefly got a movie is lucky, and they should be thankful for just that.

Great premise, great actors, great writing. Especially the writing. The show has a sense of humour that's very hard to find elsewhere. Also, you really get a sense of how much everyone involved must love their job.
I can't think of a single other show with quite so many great lines. Google "Firefly quotes" and you'll find that most episodes have at least a dozen pretty memorable lines.
To be fair, the season gets progressively better, so you may be doing yourself a disservice watching only the first three episodes.
Then again, you don't like Mal, so you might be doomed.
