The season where they go to earth must be the most bizarre piece of television I've ever seen. People take the non-earthly origins of the crew in their stride, no, they don't even acknowledge it. I mean, just look at this episode summary:
Anyone here watched Lexx?

- Start date
I watched the first movie, because someone I knew at university co-created it and had a cameo in it (Lex Gigeroff, who was a smart, funny, creative, charismatic guy). It wasn't my thing, though, so I didn't watch it regularly.
That show went off the rails in season . Killer carrots that went up people's bums---enough said.
Years ago I'd watch it late at night when nothing else was on.
The other day I was watching Forever Knight on YouTube (but that's a whole 'nother thread) and saw the "dead guy" in an early episode.

You can buy the whole series, all four seasons, on DVD for $13.
I actually have the complete series, and the movies, on DVD. I love that show. Great cast, totally off-the-wall concepts and scripts. It should be more of a classic, but it seems to have been forgotten.
Wasn't that pretty much the tone of the show from the start?
I watched the first couple episode ages ago on Hulu back when it was free, and it seemed interesting. I've got it on my Amazon Prime watchlist now and I plan on giving it another go eventually.
The show was irreverent, but it did have some ideas behind it. Moreover, the third season, in the dark universe (our universe) was very compelling, with interesting writing and sets, and the actors themselves clearly were giving it their all. Season 4 seemed intent on being campy. I remember how disappointed fans were with each episode that was broadcast.
I seem to recall borrowing some DVDs of perhaps the 2nd season over a decade ago. I watched 1 or 2 episodes and I mostly remember being thoroughly confused.
I've been told that the quality of the DVDs is pretty iffy, mostly because the episodes are unevenly spaced out between the various discs, with some discs only containing a single movie and others having 10-11 episodes crammed onto them. I've also been reading a lot of horror stories online about poorly designed packaging and discs that don't even identify which one is disc 1 or disc 2 or whatever.

My attitude towards Lexx can best be summed up with two letters:
Ew.
Ew.
Maybe it's some obscure reference to "Entertainment Weekly"? 
No, it's just "ew...." 
Lexx just struck me as nothing more than sci-fi porn. Now if this is your thing, hey, we're good.
It's just not MY thing.

For the price it may be a cheap reissue. I bought the separate season sets a long time ago when they were first released but I noticed you could get it pretty cheap.
