Lexx - The Fourth Series, Part 1 (Vols. 1-3) (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the best seasons of Lexx. We all know how outlandish and insane this show is by now. But, there are extremely different tones throughout the series most reviewers fail to realize or even appreciate. The original four movies were a very straightforward Sci-Fi affair. They were unique, but not the best in terms of production. The second season took a Star Trek theme of traveling the galaxies, only to discover that every other living being was recklessly stupid or pointlessly evil, which allowed for enormous amounts of dark humor. The third season on the other hand, was more of a twisted philosophical meditation with religious themes, abandoning the majority of the humor provided in the previous season. By the fourth season, with a thinning budget and news of cancellation, Lexx retreated to the safety of lower production costs by bringing the Lexx crew to Earth.
This is the season where things started to turn even more insane than ever before, and trust me; it's a good thing! The production crew took more risks, was more experimental, and LOADED the show with social commentary. This season had more humor than drama, and it threw a lot of fans off, especially the ones who started watching during the more 3rd season. There are some low points (Mort & Moss), but some of the most memorable episodes come from this season too. Don't miss the first episode "Little Blue Planet" for one of the funniest parables of the United States Presidential Elections ever filmed. In addition, watch Lexx and the crew make the biggest joke out of Texas in "Texx Lexx," the outrageous "Xevivor" parody of the show Survivor, the continuous joke on George Bush in "Bad Carrot" (Don't worry Republicans, the Germans and Canadians just make bodily function jokes at the former US President), a unique interpretation of Dracula in "Vlad," an ugly underbelly of family life and kids in the humorous turning point "Stan Down, "and a lot more! With episodes that promising, how could you go wrong?

The last season of this sexy SCI FI channel hit cuts a brutally funny path through planet Earth. The hapless crew of the hungry organic spaceship could not be more misguided in its final effort to find safe haven. Earth has big troubles of its own with killer vegetables on the march and wackos in charge everywhere. And Prince (Nigel Bennett), the crew'Äôs chief nemesis in Series 3, resurfaces as a scheming bureaucrat out to steal the LEXX. \n S4-V1 'Äì'Äì Little Blue Planet, Texx LEXX, P4X, Stan Down S4-V2 'Äì'Äì Xevivor, The Rock, Walpurgis Night, Vlad S4-V3 'Äì'Äì Fluff Daddy, Magic Baby, A Midsummer'Äôs Nightmare, Bad Carrot \nDVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE audio: 5.1 Surround Sound, 2.0 Stereo; CGI gallery; storyboards; behind-the-scenes photos; production sketches; cast and character bios; and interactive trivia.
