Okay, first of all, I'm only going to talk about the first season, because I was horribly unimpressed with the choices that the writers made regarding the second season.
1.) Badass ladies with complex emotional landscapes. Like, I can't stress this enough. It is the ladies on the show who get the most interesting backstories and the most time devoted to revealing those backstories.
2.) The ladies are the deadliest fighters. The hardest hitter on the show is M'gann, the girly-girl (I say that as a descriptor, no value judgment involved) telepath and shapeshifter and telekinetic who likes ridiculous teen shows and is a cheerleader and likes baking and wants life to be like a tv show. (P.S. She also has a lot of fantastically interesting backstory, see #1.)
3.) It's funny.
4.) It has a great structure - episodes that function on there own but still propel the characters and plots forward.
