Lexx is really weird in a mesmerizing way, especially the first season. Months after watching it scenes pop back into my head.
It is surreal, absurd, ridiculous, dirty, perverted, disgusting, and hypnotic. It is spiritual and psychopathological.
A living space ship that looks like a dragonfly, a theocracy, a dead warrior resurrected, a love slave who is a fighter, a cannibal, mad scientists, a universe of light and one of darkness, a war between a water planet and a desert planet. For a while the plot revolves around a swarm of disembodied android arms which threatens to consume the whole universe by transforming it into more disembodied android arms.
The actors are not particularly great (including the few established ones), but enthusiastic. The sets and special effects are cheap but impressive.
Lexx certainly has cult status, but there's more than the usual "so bad it's good" - it has moments of genuine brilliance. Recommended if you are into weird stuff.
