Customer Reviews of Lexx - Series 2, Vol. 1
A long awaited release, with some reservations. I found the DVD well worth purchasing, with some reservations on the picture quality. In certain scenes, it appeared blurry and washed out, and just wasn't as good as I'd hoped. Still, content was excellent, with FOUR episodes--two with Eva Habermann playing Zev, and two with Xenia Seeburg playing Xev. Extras were also nice, which included a "Making of Series II" part 1, "Rated Lexx: His Divine Shadow" part 1, and a short Michael McManus interview. All in all, I thought it was a great DVD; well worth the money. I hope they release Series 1 as well!
Low budget, High concept
Lexx is something either is understandable to you or is a b-grade sci-fi. Those looking for stoic and run of the mill sci-fi tend to vilify Lexx as badly written and directed. SciFi Channel's treatment of the series when it first aired alienated many people. Now is the time to see them in order and uncut! Those who appreciate something a little different and understand pacing outside the realm of standard American TV get the quirkiness and love the sexual overtones. Season 2 does suffer from a 'Movie of the Week' approach but those episodes seem more like homage's than rip offs. Volume 1 introduces the grand freak Mantrid and sets the arc for the entire season. Watch and learn to Luv the Lexx.
Sci-fi on acid!!!
4.5 stars. I used to be a late-night channel-surfer, and one night I hit on a show that was simply too bizarre and original to ignore: "The Lexx." I can honestly say I have never seen a more original show on television. The three-and-a-half main characters are Stanley Tweedle(the proto-typical bumbling anti-hero looking for willing females), Kai(an undead former assassin for His Divine Shadow), 790(a robot head with a cynical nature and an all-consuming love for Zev/Xev), and Zev/Xev(a character played by two different alluring actresses who is a hybrid Love Slave/Cluster Lizard). It's sounds confusing, I know. If you are a newcomer to this series I would suggest starting with the first series Vol.1 through Vol.4 for a more comprehensive backstory. The writers of this show were on drugs!!! If anyone doubts this conclusion, just watch episode 2.3 entitled "Lyekka." There is so much off-kilter imagery in that episode that it should be considered possible genius. There is also a lot of humor in this show, most of it sexual innuendo or pot-shots at Stanley Tweedle from 790 for being inadequate as a human being. Some of the special effects are excellent, and other times they are phenomenally cheesy! But the show is so much fun and so over-the-top weird that I have to give it a solid rating. I simply can't give it 5 stars, however, because there are times when the transfer to DVD is incredibly grainy. Most scenes look pristine, which makes those that are not look really bad. Also, it was a mild shame that Eva Habermann(Zev) was only available to do the first 2 episodes. As 790 said, she was "Delicious!" However, Xenia Seeberg(what a great name!) takes over and is equally attractive and she understands the character perhaps better than her counterpart. This is a very original Sci-fi series. I asked a collegue if he ever heard of the show, but he hadn't. I told him "It's like Sci-fi on acid!" To me, that is the perfect description. Don't do drugs! Just watch The Lexx!!!
