Product Description

From Amazon.com

A crew of misfit outlaws wanders the galaxy in a living ship. Sound familiar? Doomed to live in the shadow of cable TV's science fiction class act Farscape, the Canadian-German coproduction Lexx takes a completely different trajectory as a tongue-in-cheek, sci-fi sex farce from a three-man team of "Human Beans" led by creator and frequent writer-director Paul Donovan. Sad-sack pilot Stanley Tweedle (Brian Downey), coquettish love slave Zev (Eva Habermann), reanimated corpse Kai (Michael McManus), and lovesick robot head 790 wander the galaxy looking for food, people, and (most importantly) a little nookie. Shot on the cheap with loads of flashy (if often unconvincing) digital effects and a rather claustrophobic series of studio-bound sets, the show launched with a quartet of TV movies before settling into a weekly series with its second season (1998).

In the first of 20 episodes, "Mantrid" launches the Lexx into a funhouse galaxy of wacky worlds, where the dreaded insect king awakes and begins his bizarre reign of terror. The hilarious "Lyekka" introduces the title character, a curvy little plant girl with an insatiable appetite for human flesh, but more importantly it replaces platinum blonde Eva Haberman with the impishly flirtatious, full-lipped redhead Xenia Seeberg, the show's instant cult pinup queen. The show's eagerness to experiment is proven in "Brigadoom," a sci-fi musical that tells Kai's backstory entirely in song--with surprisingly impressive results. "Brizon" and "End of the Universe" end the second series as the Lexx is inexorably drawn into the Dark Zone after an epic fight with Mantrid's multiplying drone arms.

Each DVD features a different 10-minute, behind-the-scenes featurette, short cast and creator interviews, and a chapter of Rated LEXX, a TV special created for the Sci Fi Channel to introduce the characters and recap the origins.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, Aug 5 2010
By 
Snappy "Snappy" (Leeds, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lexx: Season 2 (DVD)
As far as the show goes, I think it's still really good after all these years. Not everything I was crazy about 15 years ago has passed that test. But Lexx has unique sci fi stories that are also humerous.
Packaging was not great but not awful. Disc one does not want to go back in this layered box and the fact that they are layered overlapping each other is a concern. But my discs were in good shape when received (no scratches).
Video quality is usually pretty good but goes grainy in some parts, kind of randomly. Not too distracting.

The price is great and very happy to see Lexx back in print.

This review is from: Lexx: The Complete Second Series [Full Screen Original Uncut Version] [5 Discs] (DVD)
I love Lexx. The featurettes are cool, the quality of the transfer seems good. However, I was very disappointed to find that the episodes are not closed-captioned or subtitled at all. If you are hearing-impaired, you might want to skip the DVD's and see if you can find someone who recorded the episodes from Sci-Fi, where most, with a few exceptions, ran with closed captioning.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lexx: Season 2, Aug 25 2010
This review is from: Lexx: Season 2 (DVD)
Lexx: Season 2

I really enjoyed this TV series and would give it a four star rating, BUT these new 4-6 `clipped-stacked' Alliance Films releases are really getting me `bugged' off. I've purchased over the last year Seasons of BeastMaster, Lexx, Earth: Final Conflict, RoboCop, Outer Limits: The New Series, PSI: Factor and all but a few have had at least two to all six discs loose in the case with scratches after opening them. I realized what's the use of returning them for exchange, as it will continue to happen again. The packing gets a one star rating and also because of my following note below, I can only give this Alliance Films release at best a three star overall rating. ALSO PLEASE NOTE: these new re-releases of Lexx on Alliance Films DO NOT contain both English & French soundtracks (only English) and the great BONUS FEATURES that were available on the original Acorn Media/Koch Vision releases.
