Is anybody a Lexx fan?

I've enjoyed the first Lexx movie I downloaded from Kazaa. I'm tempted to buy the DVD's.

It's a little Dr. Who-ish, but I like the story and the brief nudity. I get tired of censored television.

Filmed in Canada and Germany, Lexx is a TV miniseries space adventure about fugitives running from the corrupt government that rules them. Sound familiar?

It showed in America for a while on Showtime.

The show is very different from Firefly, pure sci-fi and no western. It obviously had a lower budget, but I like the story and the characters. I wonder who else has seen this show?

So far, I've only seen I Worship His Shadow. I thought it was very entertaining. I'm downloading more eps very slowly on Kazaa. I don't suppose TRS80 has them on DVD?

This sounds interesting Succatash. I haven't seen this yet. Does everybody know about Succatash's great taste in tv? He likes Firefly you know? I know some of you think he has some questionable opinions in other areas, but make no mistake he has great taste in tv.
Well, any show that he thinks must be good, must have some merit. I will check it out.

Gosh. First off, I must disclaim by saying that I have only watched perhaps two episodes of Lexx, so there may be subtleties which I missed. Also, let it never be said for a moment that I would presume to place a stamp of anything approaching Objectivity on my opinion (great quote from Humberto Maturana: "any claim of objectivity is a demand for obedience.").

That said, and despite the fact that it stars one of the most sultry and delectible specimens of femininity I have ever beheld, I found Lexx to be unwatchably broad and infuriating in its self-conscious "cheeky-ness." Low production values I can handle (big "Who" fan back in the day), but I found this show to be unredeemably atrocious in almost every discernible regard.

If I have prematurely (and obviously quite emphatically) put the kybash on something which I might discover to be quite good after all, then I would welcome the chance to munch on these words with some fava beans and a nice Chianti (f-f-f-f-f-f). But my lingering impression is one of pure, cask-aged go-seh. Curious about others' opinions...

Interesting! Thanks for your opinion.

I think I'll still give it a try, but I am not expecting the world. I did enjoy the very first episode. It's like Flash Gordon meets Dr. Who meets Firefly, sort of.

It was an odd show to say the least. Abstract kinda. Funny in parts, strange in others and sometimes down right unquantifiable. Liked the nudity too, 'cause I appreciate the female body.

I believe in remaining objective about shows until I see them, save for Reality TV and that Dawson Creek st. I guess I'm not THAT objective.

Hell I probably wouldn't be a Firefly Fanatic if it hadn't been for Mal putting Crow through the port thruster in the Train Job. I woulda watched it but not this religiously.

I really liked the first 4 episodes that were shown on showtime. However, I could not get into the rest. I guess I really liked the original Zev! She was VERY HOT!

This info i gatehered thru internet when i first saw Lexx in IMDB.com and inrigued.

First season of Lexx was 4 films. Second season it turned into series and most people watched series didnt like them because without the films (very few people knew they were related) it made no sense.

Now (after its cancelled for some time) its considered one of the cult classics if not sci-fi.

now my thoughts: I only watched 4 films yet but so far i liked them. They arent your everyday heroes (prolly one of the reasons why i liked it). Its very simple and cheesey at times so if you dont like that type dont even bother to watch.

that would be an emphatic no. i couldn't even make it through the teaser of the pilot ep--it was just a little outside my way of thinking. i tried to watch it one more time and must have caught the episode (no idea which) targeted toward 16-year old males. not that that's bad, necessarily, but seeing as I'm not 16 or a male, you can see the conflict. didn't watch anything after that, so i'm no authority, but i would have to agree with the abstract assessment; Picasso vs. Verneer. also, i have to applaud the writers and producers who went that far with a sci-fi theme and managed to get three(?) seasons out of it.
