I am one of them who thinks this show is ridiculously overrated. I really don't understand, how this show can get such a high rating here on IMDb.
As I wrote in one of my other reviews, there is a difference between sci-fi setting, and sci-fi story. In Firefly, the sci-fi is purely a setting, and I agree with the critics, who says that the sci-fi elements are poor.
The first 5 minutes promised well, and seems to establish a plot. But after 5 minutes, the shows reveal, that this is just a 14 episode long random-space-travel show. And that is just too boring and trivial for me.
This show is closer to a western, than a sci-fi TV-series.
