5.0 out of 5 stars Lexx, one of the Greatest shows ever made: Series 1, Vol. 1, November 1, 2004

By	mmac27 (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews

I am a huge fan of Lexx. I really think it is one of the best shows I've ever seen on TV. I got into it around the middle of the second season & became an addict after that. I have all of the DVD's & have seen every episode (even the movies) multiple times. I plan to review each DVD, each episode, one by one. So here's my review for Series 1, Volume 1

Episode 1.1: I Worship His Shadow -This is it, the beginning of the show Lexx. The first "season" consisted of 4 mini-movies & this is the first one in the series. A great first episode, where you learn about the history of the Kai, Stan & Xev. It's a long story but I'll try to summarize. Kai's people, the Brunnen-G, get destroyed by the Divine Shadow. Kai was killed and re-animated (with this stuff called Proto-Blood) & made into an assain for his shadow. Stan was a part of a group of heretics fighting against the Divine Shadow, but Stan got caught & lost some codes that ended up killing lots of his people, the Divine Order kept him around in case they ever needed more information & made him a lowly security guard on the cluster. Zev was deserted by her parents & put in a wife bank. She got sent to the cluster & was sentenced to become a love slave, but something went wrong & she became part Cluster Lizard. Basically this mini-movie shows all of this background, plus it shows how they 3 end up together & how they get the Lexx (The Lexx being the ship they fly in, it's a living Bug that need to eat & can blow up planets with ease. It was meant to be a weapon for his Divine Shadow). Of course stealing the Lexx makes The Divine Shadow mad & he chases after the crew. It's a great episode & really shows the history behind the show. It sets up the other min-movies & the series really well. It's a great story & I think the best of the 4 mini-movies of the first season. Check it out if you can, especially if you liked the series.

That does it for this review check out my other reviews for Lexx

5.0 out of 5 stars Series One - available at Amazon.ca, March 15, 2006

By	N. Anderson "KindleLaw" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great series. I don't have a lot to add that others haven't already mentioned. I would like to clarify some confusion and difficulty as to how to get the entire first season, the four mini-movies.

They do not all appear to be available from Amazon.com, well, volume 1, 2 and 4 are available, but volume 3, Eating Patterns, is not.

Save yourself the irritation. Just go to Amazon.ca, the canadian version, sign in using your normal name and password and look up Lexx Series One.

You can obtain all four movies with one click, including the difficult to find volume 3, just order: Lexx: Season 1: Ep.1.1-1.4

Hope this saves some people some time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only Lexx that can be highly recommended, May 1, 2002

By	Virgil "Virgil" (Chapel Hill, NC) - See all my reviews

The Lexx series varies wildly in terms of quality and story. Not so with the first four episodes or mini-series.

This is truely one of the most odd and strange rendering of an alien society that's ever hit film. For that alone it gets high marks, but more than that, the world of Lexx is brutal, funny, sometimes sexy and nihilistic.

Most of the Lexx series is an acquired taste but this first installment is well-rendered and better than the majority of sci-fi fare out there.
