Firefly is an old Joss Whedon show featuring Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Jewel Staite, Summer Glau, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, and the late Ron Glass.
I won’t try to summarize this plot fully, as I doubt I could properly explain it. For reference, this show is older than I am, as the follow-up movie 2 years after the show was canceled is slightly younger than I am. This however, meant I grew up watching it on DVD. Those of you who have seen Firefly might find this concerning, as it isn’t so much a show for small kids. No, but neither is The Lord of The Rings, Doctor Who, or Stargate. Yet as a small child I watched and enjoyed all of these. Not to say I didn’t watch other things meant for kids, like My Neighbor Totoro and The Cat Returns (oh, the old days when Studio Ghibli wasn’t owned by Disney…). And of course, there were some shows somewhere in the middle (yes, Harry Potter, I’m talking to you).
The crew travels about, avoiding the Alliance, getting strange jobs, and braving rough adventures aboard their trusty Firefly class ship: Serenity. The captivating plot and loveable characters leave you craving for more.
Some of the actors have moved on to other shows that I have watched: Alan Tudyk, who played Wash, the pilot, voiced The Duke of Weselton in Frozen, Duke Weaselton in Zootopia, and Heihei, the chicken (and one of the villagers) in Moana.
I hope you enjoy this show as much as I do, and make sure to check out the links!
