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.

3.0 out of 5 stars No captioning/subtitling, Aug 28 2003

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Season Two - the Best Season of Lexx, Nov 20 2005
This review is from: Lexx: The Complete Second Series [Full Screen Original Uncut Version] [5 Discs] (DVD)
This is the season I'd recommend most. When my friend started showing me his collection of Lexx dvds (a commitment of countless hours) I was nervous the whole show might be as enthralled with its own breathlessly expanding mythology as the first season was.

When we started with the 2nd, I breathed a sigh of relief. The show develops a routine but one that surprises, entertains and leaves you asking 'how did we get to this point!?'. It's a ribald sci-fi comedy that recalls some of the goofier Star Trek episodes.

LYEKKA, LUVLINER, LAFFTRAK, 791, WAKE THE DEAD, TWILIGHT, WOZ and the END OF THE UNIVERSE are my faves. 'Brigadoom' is the musical.

5.0 out of 5 stars So worth it!, Jun 3 2004
This review is from: Lexx: The Complete Second Series [Full Screen Original Uncut Version] [5 Discs] (DVD)
Wow I just love to be able to pick what episode I want. The DVD 'extras' are excellent too. This series had a very original creative element I have never seen anywhere before, you could tell the LEXX set designers and wardrobe people were very professional in their creative work making cheesy and tacky look so very out of this world good! The special effects are like a cross between Flash Gordon meets the Matrix meets Austin Powers! Only it is isn't, it's all LEXX and all original. By the way, saying this is geared towards European teens? is way off, what a lame review!, this is for every Sci Fi fan that ever wanted a break from the typical creature vs. Earth story line, it is more like a psycadelic soap opera set in the future in a galaxy far, far away from every day Earth life, a great way to 'escape' from everyday life.
