I am a series junkie, I watch hole seasons on weekends and I am proud of it ;) There are so many stories I haven't read or watched yet, so there is much to do! I am really looking forward to it^^ Greetings from Germany :P
The first episode was a mess! Way too much things happen and too much time is passing. I did'nt know the story befor, I haven't read any books, so I had to get my head around it first, but with that much information.. well, it's a bit overwhelming. But the 'real' Magic had nice effects and I got curios so I tried some more episodes. Actually I tried only one with the same result. The start got me totally confused and I could'nt really get back in... So good visual effects, some interesting charackters and good Idea for the story, but badly implemented. The show should have taken things more slowly, than it would have been better.
It's Joss Whedons Star wars, really xD But different and in my opinion better. With brilliant actors and an interesting storyline. And if you finished watching the series, you still have a good film wich answers most of the questions like: What are the reavers and where do they come from? Unfortunately this one was cancelled by fox, so Whedon coulnd'nt finish the story within the series, that's why he made a film ;) Definitely worth wachtig!
