: : Lexx is more of a satire. It is poking fun at sexual morals, audience expectation and genre TV in general. Taking it seriously is totally missing the point.---Oh, I got the point. . .I just think that it was done poorly and in such a juvenile manner that the satirical elements were completely overshadowed.

I didn't mean to imply that it was particulary good :)... It's just that I think being placed after Farscape makes it worse. It is a major shifting of gears to go from dramatic SF to satire and Lexx would have to be several magnitudes better than it is in order to pull that off. I don't think I disliked it as much you did - but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it either...

By the way - Does anyone know where was it made? It has a very British feel to the production.
