Customer Reviews of Lexx Series 3 Volume 1
Very different from previous seasons! Well, it still is LEXX of course but this whole season is layed out like a continuous movie rather than segmented into "episodes",even though the format is somewhat "episode friendly"(huh?). It actually works quite well with the changes, though it "feels" more spaced out.
The plot in all 13 "episodes" involves the mysterious relationship between the planets Fire and Water...the concept of reincarnation as it applies to the inhabitants thereof,as well as the familiar crew of Tweedle,Kai,Xev and 790, whoose characters in season 3 are more developed and ultimately more likable.The character PRINCE is introduced from the get-go,and he remains an enigmatic player throughout season 3 and 4 as well.
Beware: Frontal Nudity
I was one of the ones who frowned at the series when it first aired on the Sci-Fi channel, but for some reason I started picking up the DVD's with Season 2, and found it to be actually enjoyable and now I've just picked up S3-V1, and while it has a new spin on the series (season three has a continuing story format divided into 13 chapters) I found the unedited scenes to be quite a surprise.
Where Season two had a few almost passive nude or suggestive scenes, season three has a few scenes that are not recommended for younger viewers. While cut out or re-formatted for airing on the Sci-Fi channel, there are some scenes especially in "Gametown" & "Boomtown" which uses some rather extensive waist-up female nude scenes, and not just in passing either, some rather touch-feely type stuff. Don't get me wrong, I don't see anything wrong with it (I actually found myself pausing once or twice) it's just not recommended for the younger audiences is all.
As for the stories themselves, they are very well told, and the nude scenes that exist fit very well into the story. And what's great about season three, while it helps to have seen season two, you don't HAVE to have seen it (unlike where you had to follow the movies to catch onto the early season two episodes).
I believe (like with many cult series') that LEXX will have a greater following now that the series is ended.
It just gets better and better!!
Lexx seems to be one of those love it/hate it shows, and I'm finding more and more that those who hate it haven't watched an episode entirely through. Marvelously tongue-in-cheek and flawlessly acted (no, really! It takes real skill and talent to pull this stuff off!), Lexx deserves the following it has received.
The producers' decision to release the series in 4-episode (uncut versions) DVD's with an ongoing making-of documentary is one of the most welcome release formats I've seen for a TV series. Two episodes per disc (as many other series releases are trying) just don't justify a DVD purchase for me -- if you can fit four, I prefer it for the less space taken up on my shelf.
This first disc of "series 3" is the "Fire and Water" series, which introduces one of the series' most intriguing characters, Prince of Fire (Nigel Bennett), who the producers wisely revived for the final Series 4, now airing.
What made you turn it off the first time? The irritating robot head? Stanley Tweedle's juvenile attempts at sex? Kai's bad poetry? Try it again. You will find a hilariously true satire of life on our own planet.
