In the early 2000s Channel 4 in the UK user to run sci-fi post 23:00 most nights; mostly Stargate SG1, a little Seven Days, Sliders IIRC, that sort of thing. I was 14 and enjoying staying up late, but god damn; when Lexx came on it was time to go to sleep. What a horrible mess of a show.
It's a sci-fi comedy. And it's very funny. I'm not sure where the mess is.
I’m not sure where the comedy is.
Horses for courses but I gave it a real good go, and other than “robot head be horny” I failed to see anything funny about it.
Maybe because it's a German show? It's not true that Germans don't have a sense of humor, it's just that it's a little different. If you can get into it, it's a lot of fun.
It is a Canadian show with a few German actors. It's from Newfoundland if I am not mistaken.
…I’m half-German
Ok, fair enough. I just thought maybe that was why.
It’s a fair point, German humour (or even just what lands in German - Dinner for One anyone?) can be a bit more dry and slightly odd.
