Firefly

I got the first disc of the series Firefly from Netflix on the recommendation of other Star Trek fans. I didn't make it through the whole first episode. It wasn't horrible. It just didn't get my attention at all. I wonder if I just needed to watch it longer or what. I'm all for spending time watching good TV, but I felt like I was wasting my time, so I took it out and am sending it back. I'm disappointed because I thought I was about to get involved in something good and absorbing. And Netflix thought it would be 4.5 stars for me based on other things I like. Out of my approximately 5 readers, is anyone familiar with Firefly and can provide some feedback?
