It is mostly dreadful, starts off with singing, had me cringing off the bat. Crap fighting that makes no sense, not even slightly firefly.
Firefly = a bunch of honourable(mostly) bandits staying out of the way of a corrupt regime, humans, humans only, in space and around, but a huge portion of the show is corrupt alliance vs everyone else. This show is alien invasion + aliens co-existing on a planet together, as in, absolutely nothing like Firefly at all, not least in the writing, dialogue, acting, style, feel or quality of the show.
Jesus, the last 10 minutes are embarrassing... seriously.

Yeah, they have armoured units and alien tanks "I don't like the look of that scaffold", shoots near it, thats the end of that then, its fine to ignore after failing to blow it up. Likewise, their own guys are dying, but takes to the end of the fight to actually shoot the big weapons at the guys up the cliff. Lastly, as always, the good guys are almost on the brink of losing(without actually showing much of anything), and then something comes to their rescue.... up against hundreds of soldiers, a couple tank type things and outmatched in general firepower... like 7 guys pulling wheelie's turns the battle.
Its god damned embarrassing, nothing short of that. Wheelies, doing wheelies through a freaking army magically saved the day, brilliant.
I don't know whats worse, the idiot that writes that crap, or the moron network exec who reads it and decides to throw millions at a show based on that kind of crap.
Yeah, there is more than a few birds in it who are hot... thats where the shows appeal ends. Almost utterly terrible in every way you can think of, crap cgi, crap fights, crap dialogue, crap acting, that embarrassing star wars canteena type "lets show everyone how aliens are weird" scenes, crap lead actor, a potentially good premise, but played out with crap stories.
its crap.
Joss Whedon writing it, with an non tv movie quality cast, with a bit of real money thrown at it, and a liberal application of talent(with the same three main hot birds) and they'd have something.

I fell asleep watching the first ep last night, I'll watch the rest tonight but what I did see was very hit and miss. Felt kinda like a generic drama series with 'aliens' who look like humans in silly fancy dress costumes. Parts of the CGI are abysmal, the first shot of their car at the start looked like it was taken straight from the game. I do like the main guy though, his character was the only thing keeping me interested.
