Lexx: Complete Season 2

Well, you all probably know that 'Season One' was actually four 2-hour movies and featured EvaHabermann as "Zev" the siren of space and...well you know...a sex slave. It also had guest stars,Barry Bostwick in the 1st film, Tim Curry in the 2nd film, Rutger Hauer in the 3rd film andMalcolm McDowell in the 4th film.Oh, yeah, and don't forget the "undead" assassin. Now that is irony for you, a dead man thatkills people. I am not even going to begin to wax eloquent on that idea.In Season Two you will get twenty 45-minute episodes with the overarching story of each oneis about an evil scientist who converts all matter of the "light" universe into one-armed 'Mantriddrones'. The evil scientist is called, Mantrid, by the way. At the end of season Two the Lexx issent to the "dark" universe AKA, the Dark Zone.Now the fun is all in between Episode 1 and Episode 20 of the second season. I am not going tosummarize each episode because that has been done here and on multiple web sites. If I wereyou, don't bother. As Mantrid pursues the Lexx, the crew is faced with some wonderful andhighly unusual circumstances. There is one cast change and no real guest stars to boast about.The second episode, "Terminal" is the last time Eva Havermann is featured as "Zev". In the thirdepisode, "Lyekka", you will find "Zev" replaced by "Xev", who is still a sexy female type humanoidcharacter. The episode after that, "Luvliner", the crew goes to a space brothel. I will stop herefor the journey is the pleasure with this wonderfully creative sci-fi thriller.The best part of this series is the discovery of how this crew manages to get through anotherepisode without getting killed or having sex (well almost). Even with a sex slave, Zev (and laterXev), on board the Lexx, the anticipation mounts, so to speak. Well at least the sexual innuendoand out and out sex, when it happens, is one thing that separates this from other sci-fi.Season Two comes on 5 disks and is in a full screen aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and Dolby Stereo 2.0sound. So don't fire up you 5.1 receiver because it won't add much. When you get to SeasonThree the entire season is focused on two planets, 'Fire' and 'Water', and leads to more indecentand wonderful adventures.If you like inventive, creative, off-beat, sexy, funny, fun and...did I say sexy already? Well, buythis season after you watch the first "season" of films. It is marvelous fun throughout the episodes.By the way, Lexx was voted, in June 2009, 23rd in a poll by SciFi magazine in the '25 Greatest SciFiTV Shows'.I gave it 5 stars because of its style, plots, writing, and art direction. Excellent fare for the childwithin that can't get enough of adult science fiction. It is a pleasure to behold...NOTE: There are different cuts of these episodes out there. Generally, the ones cut for Europe area bit racier than the ones cut for the USA. The Puritan influence still manages to reach out fromthe past and strangle us. The Seasons I purchased are Canadian and cut for the European market.It is put out by 'Alliance' and has a number '114800' on the spine of the exterior box and spineof the folding disk holder as well as printed on each disk. Good hunting.

When the series ended, and yes it got a final show unlike other sci fi series shows, i originaly intended to get the boxed sets for the series. well i procrastinated and the stoped making them "for a time that is." i tried to buy the whole series since then and they were always very expencive, in some cases just a 1 dvd out of the boxed set thats right just 1 dvd in the set was going between $70-$90 dollars. sadened i virtually gave up ever owning this series.... but i saw an advertising Email from Amazon selling this series for a resonable price, it seems they started to make more and everyone can now own this. i promptly bought them in case that ever happened again, and i would suggest you do the same because you never know if that will ever happen again.Now about the dvd set.This is a wonderful series, the actors in this show do a wonderful job! season 2 picks up where the original mini series leave of "Tales from a parallel universe" Eva Habberman is in the first two shows then Xena takes over the role of zev. the season is mostly about mandred, and has some really good shows in this season. The writing staff did a great job making this series as awsum as it is and the actors did a great job portraying their roles in Lex.The set is totally uncut and un censored, so i would not recomend kids seeing this show, there is partial nudity and alot of sexual inuendo. it is a scifi campy type show but its so well in being blended together it feels really unique in how it all plays out, making it feel totaly original, and very unique.packaging, the set is packeged in a wierd fashion, some of the dvd's are difficult to set in the set case and oftem come loose. the first dvd in the set the transfer seems a little grainy but the other dvds seem fine.All in all i would strongly recomend getting this series now... you never know when they will discontinue making this again and you may find yourself in my old position where you want to buy them but there being sold at outragious prices again.

I first got hooked on the series when it first aired on Showtime years ago unedited (later on the scifi channel edited for content which kinda bothered me lol) - I have the entire series, seasons 1-4.A wild romp through-out the known and unknown universe with a cast of characters escaping the evil forces of the "Shadow" by stealing the organic, living starcraft known as "Lexx", also the most powerful weapon in the universe. The unlikely Stanley Tweedle basically a very low-level type in the society of his planet (more or less a janitor) obtains the bio-electric code which allows him to control Lexx - the code is transferred to his hand and he activates Lexx by placing his hand onto a control panel and the living craft responds to his commands (one of my favorite characters is the ship itself, Lexx).Tweedle's shipmates include Kai a undead assasin, Zev a former very obese woman transmuted into a svelte pleasure slave with amazingly violent tendicies and a robot head which remains enamored of her, and of course, Lexx the sentient craft.During the series various planets are visited as they flee the forces of the "Shadow" with some zany escapades as they land on planet after planet. The series is full of cameos by various actors. There is quite a lot of "tongue-in-cheek" humor to many of the episodes and the ever present dangers they encounter. Tweedle is a very unlikely hero filled with human character flaws, Zev is gorgeous and hungry for sex with Kai who rejects her advances while the robot head is infatuated with her and constantly remarks and attempts to act on his obsession for her.I thoroughly enjoy the series and take exception to comparisons to a poor copy of Star Trek - I just don't see it. In my opinion FarScape is a copy of this series to a large extent.Not a long-winded reviewer but for what it is worth I put this series as one of my favorites if not the favorite in the gendre.

I remember catching this show a couple of times when it was aired in a late-night slot some years ago. I remember thinking it was a good series wasted by a late-night slot, so when I saw this, and the first series, available on DVD I decided to give it a try.. I was right. This IS a good series and I have enjoyed it tremendously. I am into Sci-Fi anyway, but this is one of the most original, quirky, funny, sexy and entertaining Sci-Fi series I have ever seen. If you liked Farscape and Red Dwarf, imagine this as a cross between the two with added sex-appeal. The characters, (which consist of a Half-cluster Lizard/Half Human Love slave; a dead assassin; a spineless human and a talking Robot Head) are instantly likeable, and their adventures as they pilot an organic weaponship across a bizarre universe range from genuinely exciting to preposterous.. but never less than imaginative! The entire series is ambitious and wide-ranging, and the feel and design of the show is staggering. The computer generated effects might seem outdated now, but would have been rather state of the art at the time, and these do not detract from the show at all...and some of the storylines may be considered sex-obsessed (hence the original latenight slot). However, I greatly recommend this series...and if it is completely new to you you are in for a treat! But try the first series to begin with....

I recall this science fiction series being broadcast on UK late-night TV about 10 years ago. In my opinion it took quite a lot of artistic licence and definitely more fiction than science. A bit like Red Dwarf with sex appeal.Although not everybody's cup of tea, I have to admit I did enjoy its quirky mix of risqué humour and Gothic horror. Not a big budget production but distinctive nonetheless, and sure to have its following of appreciative viewers.The DVDs shipped by Daaveedee from USA arrived quickly, in perfect condition, and had no regional playback problems.If you enjoy this genre, or if you saw the original series and would like a copy, then this is for you!

Beautifully written, acted with gusto and darkly humorous, at all times with tongue lodged knowingly in cheek , each bar the first season of Lexx uses its own narrative device to relay the story. Though it is more traditionally space-based sci-fi than the two following seasons, season 2 is no less for it, and establishes effectively the personalities that define the show, before bending and breaking those established rules, like the chord sheet for a jazz composition. Those that never understood the show's appeal are unlikely to be swayed by the box set, but for those of us that were, this is an infinitely easier, not to mention cheaper, way of obtaining the show than the previous option of buying single DVDs with a couple of episodes.

I never thought I would like this series but, with all the weird and wonderful characters throughout it makes every episode jump out at you and say "watch one more". The trouble with that is, you finish the series too quick and realise that after they have all been watched it leaves you wondering why the hell did they stop.
