I can only imagine that the great SciFi channel must have been captured by idiot monsters from outer space and Germany. Go to Full Review

A wacky German-Canadian sci-fi import for people who find Babylon 5 too cerebral... it's extremely gory, not a little nasty and rather fun. Go to Full Review

Lacks charm, substance, or any other redeeming quality. Go to Full Review

If you want to experience the sheer lunacy and unbridled lustiness of Lexx, make sure you’re not easily offended. Because breaking every sensible rule of behavior, television, and life in general, is what Lexx does best. Go to Full Review

Adult sci-fi fans will be put off by the filmmakers' witlessness, the cast's total lack of charm, and the screenplay's epidemic of happenstance. Go to Full Review
James Rundle SciFiNow 05/09/2018
Raunchy, disgusting, quirky and quixotic all at the same time, it may have been marketed on its sex appeal but the real joy of this show was in its dark, twisted gallows humour that ran through the core of the narrative. Go to Full Review

james o Jul 13 the series described as Star Wars meets Blake's 7, The Dirty Dozen or Fires on the Plain and considers to be a homage to Beavis and Butt-Head also found inspiration in Farscape. See more Will G @Kingofthepixies Apr 21 My gf at the time bought me the first 4 films on VHS. This is the pick of the litter, uncorrupted by Hollywood. I worship his shadow. See more Cees T 12/22/2024 Fantasy sci-fi epic in the vein of Star Wars, Dune, Alien, and Red Dwarf. Feature-length episode 1 is a great movie with not much dialogue. 7.5/10 Feature-length episode 2 has poorly mixed dialog audio and more repetition than episode 1. 4/10 - Very Bad. I hope the other two feature-length eps (4 regular eps) are better as so far it's 5.75/10 - Poor editing. See more Neutrino P 09/13/2024 Absolutely wild show. A rag-tag bunch of misfits. Sci-fi space odyssey. Plenty of eye candy. Good all the way to the last episode of the final season. See more Chris M 09/16/2022 The only time I can call a series NOT from Japan batshit crazy. There are mild character issues. Mostly robot head 790. The creature designs are cool. The stories work and it's the first time that a series earned that TV-MA rating. That said, the CGI is AWFUL! Overall, it's a strange but fun show. See more 06/26/2020 Many sci-fi fans just don't understand this series that features an almost steampunk vision swimming in dark humor. But if one views this as what would result from a story from Heavy Metal magazine done in live-action, the pieces fall into place. Fairly well-written and wholly bizarre, LEXX is wonderful mindless entertainment. See more Read all reviews
