FEATURE COMMENTARY WITH
WRITER/DIRECTOR JOSS WHEDON
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This series is absolutely amazing considering it was only
granted one season and a movie. The actors fall into their
roles straight from the start and work well together. Joss
Whedon does an amazing job with this series and it's one
I can watch over and over again! I aim to misbehave! - karad-75675
