I've just watched most of the first part and so far I'm quite impressed, it's allot more mature and watchable than the original, which lets face it was little more than a children's show.
I think it's actually the most literate sci-fi that I've ever seen in a television show.

About the only thing I thought the original series had going for it was the 'sense of wonder' - which they helped manufacture by making some details just different enough to pique our curiosity (we were curious about their religion, anthropology, technology, etc.).
This new 'series' has me interested in the storyline and characters - surely a better state of affairs.

I only caught part of one or two episodes (don't have much time for TV). I remember a bit where they're chasing a train and something about a naked girl in a box. That's about the extent of my Firefly knowledge...apart from the fact that is was cancelled pretty fast.
