I loved it. Very entertaining. The western part takes some getting used to, and it's obvious Joss isn't going for subtle for his reconstruction/post civil war thing but those aren't flaws.
The show a totally different feel than Buffy. I thought the space part seemed a lot more realistic than a lot of other space shows (though my experience with them only amounts to some of the the Star Trek series). The ship was a mess, dirty on the outside, the inside, very utilitarian. The show had a disoriented feel about it, going with the-world-is-in-turmoil story.
Zoey (the pilot's wife) kicks ass and Mal is cool. I like how he has a conscience when it matters. Kaylee is cute. I don't know about River (the crazy chick) though. Inara (the space hooker) is great. (Hee, femmeslash subtext already implied. Inara slowly brushing Kaylee's hair...) The rest of the characters I need to see more of, though the last three are just from general impressions.
On a sidenote, I don't get why a magazine that had an interview with one of the male cast who said something about how the star trek people with their fancy gadgets are pussies and something else involving the word piss, or pissed, starred out part of piss/pissed yet kept the word pussies.
Hee, I loved the ending. I expected that the then tied up tattoo guy working for russian sounding evil guy would be sort of a mini-bad, the visable threat to the crew throughout the season. Mal was giving him the money back for the failed criminal heist, saying that they would just part amicably. The evil tattoo guy was being completely dramatic, saying he would hunt them down and they'd never be free for reneging on his boss' deal. So in response, Mal just kicks the guy into the engine turbine thing then blithely turns to the next bad guy and says the same thing he said the first one. Cracked me up.
I love Joss.
