Summary: Grainy transfer mars otherwise great series.
Review: 4.5 stars. I just want to note here that there are numerous scenes where the transfer to DVD is less than perfect. Other times, particularly the special effects shots, the transfer is pristine. This is possibly, arguably, the most original Sci-fi series ever created and it was a mild letdown to see a flawed transfer. However, all these episodes are the uncut versions, and I seriously don't remember this much sexual innuendo(oftentimes bizarre sexual innuendo). But this show always was a little more than left-of-center, which is certainly why it appealed to me so much. Just when I thought there was nothing original on TV, along comes this weird series in the 2a.m. time-slot like a warm wind filled with fresh air. For beginners I suggest getting the first series volumes for a more in-depth backstory on these strangely captivating characters. After that, this is an excellent progression. The stories are crazy and fun, and each volume here contains over three hours of footage. This series has great return value, it's just too bad the transfer is less than perfect.

Summary: Same thing different day
Review: Generally I tend to watch all sci-fi because I enjoy it but Lexx has a tendency to be repetitive. Two people , a love slave and an accident waiting to happen named Stanley Tweedle, joined by a robot head and a walking dead man seach the universe for mindless sex. Almost every episode contains the sexual frustation of Xev and Stan with a planet getting destroyed by the Lexx. This by itself would be enough to keep me from watching except for episodes like 2.18. This is done as a musical to tell Kia's story that many of us did not see. This episode and others like it in originality are the reason I continue watching Lexx with the hope the story will improve.

Summary: No captioning/subtitling
Review: I love Lexx. The featurettes are cool, the quality of the transfer seems good. However, I was very disappointed to find that the episodes are not closed-captioned or subtitled at all. If you are hearing-impaired, you might want to skip the DVD's and see if you can find someone who recorded the episodes from Sci-Fi, where most, with a few exceptions, ran with closed captioning.

Summary: LEXX is a MUST
Review: If you can watch the firdt episode (I worship his shadow) and you enjpoy its campy yet well developed story then you will fall in love with the entire series. I have never ordered a DVD of a series before, let alone a sci-fi series, but this set usurps star wars in its campy intrigue and totally overshadows Dune's monopoly on a fairly original story line and immmersive, if less than state of the art, special effects. Many tongue in cheek jokes lend the series to a "don't take yourself too seriously" attitude which lets the viewer accept the flick for what it is. A work of sci-fi indy genius which only a few will truly appreciate.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent Viewing
Review: It is my opinion that the second series of Lexx is the best of the 4. In this series you get a collection of stand-alone episodes that only hint at an undelying plotline that reveals itself fully in the last few episodes. The Stand alone episodes bring out the risqué humour this series is known for. Each episode is a new adventure and are well worth spending the time to watch. The special features are bare minimum. If you purchase DVDs based on the special features all you're really getting is quizzes based on the episodes on the DVD.

Summary: Second Season Winner
Review: The first season is the best but the second season is quite good. Pay attention to the other "real people" that have reviewed it. First of all LEXX was out long before Farscape so the ridiculous line about sound familiar is out of context. LEXX is unique in its approach to SciFi. It is far more graphic in violence and erotic behavior than other series you will see. I have purchased the first two seasons on DVD since I think they are the best. The rest are worth seeing but I am not sure about buying.
Rating: 
Summary: worst show ever
Review: This is by far the worst show I have ever seen.This was recommended to me by a friend who turned me on to Farscape so I thought I would give it a try. Sorry I did..this is absolute trash.
