I watched the first year of Defiance and enjoyed it quite a bit. This last summer (after the first few episodes) the producers seemed to be insistent that in addition to watching all the commercials (which I thought was perfectly reasonable) that everyone should be paying to watch it either through pay TV or paying through the internet. That I don't need.
Defiance has a hint of western flavor, but doesn't (as far as I saw) go to the lengths to recreate a common western-movie-themed culture like Firefly did. If Firefly had been closer to the movie Serenity in that respect it might have had at least the success Defiance has had.
