look on the imdb... (not that it is all knowing or anything)... but it is rated a 9.5 out of 10... with currently 8,392 votes. that's the highest rating i've ever seen for anything.... tv show or otherwise....
give it a chance my friend. i think it will win you over. i'd watch at least the first 2 episodes. the pilot, and the train job. the pilot will give you a great introduction to the crew and the world, and the train job will give you a taste of how fun the show can be.
and yes, i know they are big words... but it is very much a han solo, millenium falcon kind of thing... in fact the creator even admits that was inspiration for it.
