Lexx - Série 1

This really hasn't aged. This is a fantastic pilot for a series that has continually convinced me in the past that although I don't like the genre, I simply have to indulge in it. :) Zev, I wouldn't want to spend my whole life in your panties, but I'd follow the last of the Brunnen G anywhere. Yo way yo... Ah home va va va ray... Yo way rah... Jerhume Brunnen G.... (16.04.2010)

It's hard to say which adjective to choose in Lexx's case to accurately capture its position in the respective genre and its true audience value. Lexx is a fantasy that in some ways resembles the famous Star Wars saga, but it's much more bizarre and outlandish. It's almost incomprehensible what its charm exactly consists of, because in a time of high-budget action movies filled with demanding special effects and grand production design, Lexx deliberately uses naive sets that are distinctly made for television, which actually brings it closer to, or rather aligns it with, Red Dwarf. However, unlike Red Dwarf, it's not a pure parody or part of the comedy genre, although Lexx also doesn't take itself too seriously and can handle the subject matter lightly. On the other hand, it can also be dark and doesn't spare any corpses on the paths of its characters. Its main weapons are originality and cleverness with which it handles seemingly trashy topics, and overall freshness along with likable characters who draw the viewers into the story. I don't know exactly what Lexx is, but it certainly hits the mark for fans of the genre. Overall impression: 80%. (20.04.2010)
