Lexx, a show about a giant dragonfly spaceship that destroys planets and the creepy cowardly idiot who somehow lucked into becoming the single person in the two universes that it obeys. And an undead assassin-warrior-poet. And a woman who survived a botched "love slave" transformation. And a weird robot head.

It's outrageously strange and strangely horny and hornily gross. Highly recommend if you like weird TV.

I loved Lexx. It was one of those weird science fiction series that were popping up in the 90s as a response to the success of ST: TNG and Battlestar Gallactica. I haven't watched it in decades, I have to go find it.

My cat was named after the undead-assassin-warrior-poet.

Great show in that it is so strange and offbeat that you don't really know why things are happening but they certainly are happening.

Tell your cat I said yo-way-yo hum-va-ray!

I would if I could but he went with my ex while I kept the dog, who is named after the god emperor of the known universe.

Lexx is brimming with campy nonsense!

But it has moments when an actor delivers a heartfelt performance that tells a meaningful story.

And then those moments are followed by a robot with a saw arm chasing some folks through a cardboard maze before a planet gets blown up.
