Product Description: The Complete First Season of the Groundbreaking Original Sci-Fi Series. Hailed as "the most imaginative Sci-Fi since The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (New York Daily News), Lexx follows the nomadic existence of four misfit characters who have inadvertently stolen the most powerful weapon of destruction ever made: a Manhattan-sized, genetically-modified insect-ship. In its debut season, the Lexx's quirky crew--former security guard, Captain Stanley Tweedle; the luscious love slave Zev; the dead-but-deadly assassin Kai; and the robot head 790--comes together in four, full-length features: I Worship His Shadow, Super Nova, Eating Pattern, and Giga Shadow.
First season of an amazing show I give these four movies 5 stars, they are the beginning of one of my favorite TV shows.
I want to give you some insight into the difference between this release (Echo Bridge) and the original canadian release by Salter Street. The Salter Street releases were four separate movies in individual cases, while this release is packaged in a kind of "book" style. The disc's carrier slides out of the cardboard sleeve, which has some nice embossed features of the graphics. It carries, as someone already noticed the image of Xenia Seeberg (Xev), who replaced Eva Habermann (Zev) a few episodes into season two...
The carrier itself opens up and holds two discs on each side. Overall, the package is only slightly thicker than a single DVD case. To note is that the slider is sealed with some non-removable tape. It needs to be cut and can not be peeled off without damaging the box.
The 4 movies are "bare bones", none of the extra features of the canadian release are included here. These were an interview with creator Lex Gigeroff, a behind the scenes featurette, and some panels with information about the characters, for each of the four movies. Those are interesting for hard core fans, but not necessary to enjoy the show.
Also, the separation into chapers of each episode is different. The Salter Street release had 9 chapter marks per episode, while this Echo Bridge release has 10 each, at slightly different points in the story. The video quality of the episodes, as far as I can tell, is identical.
Other than the missing extras, this release is, in my view, recommended.
good sci-fi if you like your sci-fi a little more sexy and dark this one is for you. the show is also has a good sense of humor
if you like sci-fi this is actually the four movies preceding the series. i saw two of the movies & enjoyed them very much. i did watch the series when it ran and loved it. i was sad to see it end when it did. i liked the characters; but then again i do like science fiction. it may be a little too fantastic for some people but it was good for me. if you enjoy red dwarf, then this is one you wont want to miss. try it- you'll like it!
season 1 review i have been waiting forever and a day for the original 4 lexx movies to be released on dvd. I can,t believe there are no extras at all. I,m happy to finally have the lexx movies on dvd but for there to be no extras is shocking to me. I,m just glad i got the dvd set at such a great price. now if they would rerelease the tv series so i can buy seasons 2,3,and 4 at a normal price and not have to shell out a insane amount of cash for the tv series.
Excellent product and fast delivery Be warned - very explicit. Lots of Nudity. There is a reason it was never shown in america.
But it is a great sci-fi movie(s) anyway. You get the 4 movies that started it all. Explains a few of the questions Lexx fans have always had. But only a few-still leaves you guessing.
