Lexx
Lexx
A Time Prophet predicted that Kai would be the one to destroy the divine order in the league of the 20,000 planets, someday that will happen, but not today. Today a cowardly security guard, an undead assassin, a female with a body designed for sex and a robot head madly in love with her all make up the crew of the spaceship Lexx, the most powerful weapon in the two universes.

Watched it and it felt like late-night sci-fi fever dream dipped in camp, kink and Canadian weirdness.
This cult classic follows the crew of the Lexx, a living spaceship shaped like a dragonfly and armed with planet destroying firepower. Onboard? A cowardly security guard (Stanley Tweedle), an undead assassin (Kai), a love slave with a libido dialed to eleven (Xev/Zev) and a lovesick robot head (790).
Together, they stumble through two universes, dodging tyrants, lusting, dying, reviving and occasionally saving something.
The tone? Gleefully unhinged. It’s part space opera, part dark comedy, part softcore fever dream.
The effects are low-budget, the writing swings between brilliant and bonkers and the cast leans fully into the madness.
Brian Downey and Michael McManus anchor the chaos with deadpan charm, while Xenia Seeberg and Eva Habermann bring pulp sex appeal with surprising emotional depth.
Watching it again feels like digging up a VHS tape from your weird cousin’s basement, nostalgic, messy and somehow still compelling.
