3 - Eating Pattern
4 - Giga Shadow

A pal of mine started showing me these dvds and they've only grown on me since.
The Lexx is this organic, ugly talking ship (think an interplanetary Kit from 'Knight Rider') that feeds on planets, and a lowly security guard and his friends ended up commandeering it.

This first season is a few movies made to launch the series in '97 or so. So the CGI isn't quite as good but there's more of it and the production isn't quite as settled on. These stories become more interesting from an overarching plot standpoint when you start liking the main characters more in Season 2.

Concerning lead actresses, Habermann may be more beautiful but Seeberg imbues the character far more (when Zev becomes Xev).

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative And Refreshingly Rough, April 11 2003

By A Customer

Ce commentaire est de: Lexx: Season 1 - Eps.1 - Lexx: (DVD)

If you're here, you've heard a little about Lexx and perhaps are considering buying it. I'd like to recommend it whole heartedly, and here's why: we live in a world where entertainment is run by "money people" who don't really give a hoot about about anything other than a bottom line, and who usually have Delusions of Competence when it comes to creative decisions. This means that most projects, sci-fi or otherwise, are run by commitee and the results are almost always something which, while occaisionally effective, are necessarily watered down creatively. The perfect example is virtually all of the various Star Trek series, which can be very, very good, but are never EVER risk-taking in any meaningful way. They can also get somewhat annoyingly "smooth" and politically correct. Well, Lexx is the polar opposite of all that. The stakes appear to be lower for these guys and so they take many more chances, and the results, while often uneven, are almost always fun and sometimes genuinely inspired. The actors are extremely well cast, with both Zev and Xev offering a sexiness that doesn't descend into sleeze, Kai as the handsome and surprisingly moral dead assassin, Stanley as the sniveling but likeable anti-Kirk captain of the Lexx, and we get a witty, lovestruck robot head thrown in for good measure. If you want something a little different and fun, I urge you to check it out. I'm sure you won't have seen anything quite like it.

The science fiction world has been wrapped up for so long with Star Wars & Star Trek (great....I admit) that it only spawns clones of each. I love to see shows like Lexx & Red Dwarf get the credit they deserve. Funny and exciting, but yet maintain their completely science fiction qualities.

P.S. I expect that the Star Wars...Star Trek comment is going to bring a multitude of virginal nerds running from momma's teet....LOL. I rank the Star Wars prequals right up there with Titanic....not written for the loyal fans, but to make money. When you follow the herd your just another cow!

Looking for something different go with Lexx.........if you don't like it try getting out of the house more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it on DVD
If you only buy one DVD, from the entire series, make it this one. Unfortunetly, the first movie was only released on DVD in Canada. Lisez davantage

5.0 out of 5 stars The only Lexx that can be highly recommended
The Lexx series varies wildly in terms of quality and story. Not so with the first four episodes or mini-series. Lisez davantage
