I haven't watched much Whedon apart from Firefly and Dr. Horrible, so I'm not familiar with his characterization tendencies. The characters on Firefly felt very real to me in a way TV characters often don't.
I think I might see what you mean about the show seeming balanced--it always felt very complete to me, even with the plot threads that it left hanging. It would have been awesome to get more seasons, but I feel like it was very...tidy? Or unspoiled, somehow. Like, a lot of shows get messy or lose track of themselves if they go on too long, and I guess Firefly ended in a place that felt okay. The movie was a little upsetting the first time, though.
