I took it as Firefly fanfic where the heroine is a grown up River Tam.

Which is the heroine again? Asian Martial Arts Chick (tm) or Spooky Dream Girl (tm)?

I just watched the first episode out of curiosity. Asian Martial Arts Chick, but she has spooky dreams.

Well, she has spooky flashbacks to a spooky past. To me it's more like "Firefly but if Black Widow & Hawkeye & Winter Soldier were the main characters."

Also, 99% fewer space whores.

And 99% less sex-negativity & shaming of the space whores that do exist.

Disrespecting the sex workers of the galaxy seems to be a universal constant.

I watched a couple more episodes, and just saw the one this refers to (unless there's more than one). I wouldn't call it great TV, but it's refreshingly clear on what exploitation and shame actually consist of (for instance, that prostitution is a job, and that being an indentured field worker is a worse one).
