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.
Special Feature: Deluxe Foil 4-Disc Package

I was very excited when I heard that Lexx, Season 1 was finally being re-released. Finally, a way to get all 4 movies for a reasonable price.
As any fan of Lexx will tell you, this is not your ordinary Sci-Fi show. It features quirky characters in an odd universe that drips with very thinly veiled erotic themes. This is not a show for children, but for adults who can understand its mature themes.
Each movie comes on it’s own disc, so there are 4 discs in total. The insert unvolds to reveal 2 discs on each side, with one disc overlapping the other, making it impossible to remove the lower disc without first removing the upper disc. This is a bit of a pain, and I would have preferred an individual thinpack for each disc.
Additionally, each movie is presented in “Fullscreen” 1.33:1 ratio rather than Widescreen 2.35:1. It seems odd, given the populary of the Widescreen ratio, that they would choose to release this in Fullscreen instead.
Finally, the menu screens are very basic, with the only option beyond “Play” being the Chapter selection. However, there isn’t one single extra feature on any of the DVDs. No deleted scenes, no cast interviews, and no commentaries. Not even a TV spot or stills from production. Absolutely nothing beyond the movies themselves.
Still, this is a great show that I would recommend to anyone looking for something different. The show itself deserves a 5/5 rating, but this set deserves a 3/5 at best. Part of me wonders if they’ll come out with a better set in a few years, but I suppose that’s the nature of these things.
