Labels, labels... It was also a romantic comedy (between Mal and Inara, Wash and Zoe, and Simon and Kaylee), adventure, personal journey, and suspense story (River's run).
Oh, yeah: And science fiction, too.
Firefly is SF that takes place in the west. (Of
other planets, that is.)
Westerns are simply called westerns because people ride horses and talk funny. But who needs labels?
Firefly is just good storytelling.
