Here's another great Sci-Fi show that was canceled too soon!

This show had a great Lost aspect to it: telling a story, while continuously jumping back in time to tell back-story and create character development. The actors/characters were amazing! Really well written, with a weird supernatural element.

It ended without any answers/clarity, which was such a killer. I would have loved to see this show play out.

There's no such thing as "over hyping" this show.
It was unique, extremely well written, funny, serious, and had phenomenal character development. It's rare to fall in love with a show so quickly...but Firefly was just that good.

In one sentence or less: this show is about cowboys in space.

More sentences: the story is, our heroes were one the wrong side of a war for political independence. The show takes place in the future, where Earth is either no longer inhabitable, or was destroyed. Humanity has taken to space, where the Alliance is the governing body that rules all. Problem is, they ignore the outer, poorer planets, creating a power vacuum that turns these territories into the "wild west".
The show's heroes are the good "bad guys" --the Robin Hoods of space. They steal from the big baddies, and work illegal jobs on these outer planets as smugglers (think Han Solo).
I would give this show a shot even if you're not a Sci-Fi/Fantasy lover. Even though the show takes place in space, it's not really about that. There are no aliens, and it's more political/actiony than anything.

5 stars!!

Loved it while it was on-air. Recently tried to go back and re-watch, and it was painful. Super awkward and stilted. Couldn't get through the first episode!

I think at the time it was incredibly novel to have a Sci-Fi Teen Show. I loved the characters and thought they were perfectly dramatic and funny. It got weird later in the seasons (with the Skins), but I really liked it at the time.

LOVED THIS SHOW!

Didn't catch it when it was on-air, but loved binge watching it recently.
Kyle is such a sweet, giving, and kind character. He's essentially a baby in a teen body. He needs to learn everything that we take for granted, and that we no longer pay attention to (social norms). He lives with an amazing family (really amazing characters and actors), and falls for the sweetest girl next-door. Things are complicated (aren't they always?), but Kyle remains the Clark Kent/Superman character always -choosing right and good over evil.

Such a great concept for a show that was executed brilliantly!
(It was a super shame it didn't go on for longer.)

Two episodes in, and I can already say that I love this show!
It's the first of it's kind: a scripted fantasy REALITY TV show!

It's like Survivor with a fantasy backstory. They've taken 12 everyday people, and put them through tests and challenges until the last "true hero" is left to face Everealm's greatest foe. The set they've created for this story is beautiful and amazing (ala Lord of The Rings), and the challengers fit in perfectly, taking the story and their roles incredibly seriously, with honor and pride. Yes they each want to win, but they all just genuinely love being in the story, which makes it easy to love watching them.

The only reason it gets 4 1/2 stars is that I found the first two episodes went to quickly. The first episode needed a lot of set-up time to tell the story. The second one had better pace with the challenge at the beginning of the episode... but still went too fast for me. They're going through a contestant a night, but we haven't seen any group challenges yet, or any down-time for the players. Would love to see them "hang-out" together, and get to know them better.
...Maybe in episode three.

But overall, so far so awesome!
