Firefly took advantage of a niche in a sci-fi western with great characters. Serenity took care of the latter by killing off the most intriguing character in Book and the chief comic relief guy in Wash. You could retcon Wash but not Book given the fact Ron Glass is deceased.. so what then?
I love the Firefly verse and can buy the caveat that technology regresses in that humans are slapdash colonizing barely habitable planets but not everyone can suspend their disbelief that much. That explains the Western motifs.. which probably don't have a lot of gas now with Westworld's revival.
