Hector Beerlioz posted:Can any of the fine folks in tviv give me a rundown on this show? Thanks! Lexx is what you would get if you took Waiting for Godot, biopunk, space sci fi, and soft core porn and mashed it together and seasoned it heavily with existentialism and dark humor. It is both fantastic and terrible, full of meaning and yet not. And I think it's definitely something that I think every sci fi fan should experience. The world of Lexx is grim, dark, deterministic, and utterly pointless. But in a sense that's the beauty of it. You have a handful of fuckwits flying around in a stolen ship that is the most powerful weapon of destruction in the Two Universes. Yet beneath the utter absurdity of the situation and the grinding monotony of their vagrant and unfulfilled lives, but when poo poo goes south and they have their backs to the wall they fight to find some element of meaning in who and what they are. EDIT: Don't try looking for a grand epic space opera. Enjoy it as a bizarre spectacle and a brutal and satirical look at the human condition.
