Firefly
Listening to: Steve Lamacq
This is awfully geeky of me… but I have to ‘fess up to be quite taken by Firefly.
The stories are exceedingly well written, the characters stray into slightly more
than 1 dimension and the special effects are not bad. I think the thing that strikes
me most about the programme is that it treats its viewers like adults… sex is sex
and swearing happens.
Of late I have only been able to find a few programmes that are refreshingly straight
up about normal adult stuff (Huff! is
the other one). In both cases I have developed a degree of empathy for the characters.
If you haven’t seen it and you enjoyed the recent Battlestar Galactica episodes I
recommend you check it out… it’s available on any “respectable” peer-2-peer
network (or on Prime in NZ).
