Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Well, if you're considering this DVD, hopefully, you've already seen the first four movies that comprise the first season of Lexx (this DVD is the first four episodes from the second season), otherwise you might not appreciate a program that takes some bearing-with to get into the swing of. All the humor of the first season carries over into the next 20 episodes of Lexx, and it just gets weirder. The second season does not quite have the satisfying depth of the first - while there is a story arc that carries across the season, it really is background except for the first episode, and the last few... there are a lot of one-shot stories that seem to focus more on the frightenly bizarre universe of the Dark Zone. The innuendo also gets cranked up a notch, with one episode taking place in a brothel satellite, another one seeing a character turning into a ...crazed cyborg, yet another having the Lexx crew switching genders and so on... this season is NOT for the kids! However, if one just sits back and enjoys each episode at face value, its still a mightily fine season. The camp factor during this season has been ramped up considerably, and while some of the episodes are outright silly, all in all its still a lot of fun.
Hardcore sci-fi fans may be put off by the camp humor, the patchy story, and the sexual content. However, if you're looking for a fun and silly ride, these are more or less exactly what makes this a worthwhile purchase. Fans of the Lexx universe might be caught off-guard by the second season, but I'd suggest bearing with it and enjoying it for what it is.
