I almost started this on Amazon the other day because it's one of the few sci-fi series I've never seen, but I just can't stomach Sorbo so I started rewatching Lexx instead.
I bought the series on DVD a number of years ago. I don't think I made it through the first disk. And I think that's a shame, because it seemed like so full of potential for the first handful of episodes.
Lexx is wild. I watched it originally on a pay tv channel that had cut the episodes up into ~25 minute blocks.
I first dropped into late season 2 and occasionally I’d miss an episode.
So, combined with the weird cutting, the no context and the standard Lexx craziness, I had NO idea what was happening. The whole thing was a fever dream. Highly recommend!
I actually think it’s was the best way to watch it first go round! Then, when I came back and do the whole series in order and it was almost as much of a surprise.
I caught it first on nflix and then bought the seasons on google play and of course now they're free with ads on youtube and for some reason even logged in it makes me watch ads...
It's hard to imagine how that show would have flowed broken into 25m segments. It's weird enough as-produced.
