The show is awesome.  It was cancelled because the network (Fox - which was new at the time) was too cheap and near-sighted to give it a chance to build an audience.  Though there are only 14 episodes (and a feature film), it's definitely worth watching.

Once you're through watching the series, watch the movie Serenity.  It helps to tie up the loose ends, though I would have loved more episodes too.

Wow!  I can't believe it's been 10 years already!  I watched Serenity (for the umpteenth time) again on the weekend.  "I am a leaf on the wind.  See how I fly."
