I love Firefly, but I also don't get the scale of the hype over it. I think it could have been great, if it hadn't been cancelled when it was, if Fox had treated it better when it was on the air, if it had been given time to establish itself and really explore the characters and their universe. As things stand, it is just 14 episodes of potential, more than anything else.
I do recommend watching the film, which pays off more than one of the loose threads left dangling by the cancellation.
