25 Most Critically Acclaimed TV Shows Of All Time
9. Firefly
IMDb Score: 9.2
Regardless of how well commentators think Joss Whedon managed to blend the genres of space opera and American westerns, Firefly deserves its praise for its ambitious nature if nothing else.
Backed up by a cast of rich and interesting characters who's past lives are just as important as the present, Firefly sets this against themes of existentialism and the potential future of mankind.
