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 love it, but it was pretty messy a lot of the time in various different ways. My impressions were:
Season 1: Brilliant, really good science fiction
Season 2: Fun episodic comedy sci fi
Season 3: Sometimes weird, sometimes gruesomely tedious
Season 4: Trying to be more like a normal comedy TV show, results mixed
Remember s2e18 - Brigadoom?
The whole universe is getting destroyed, everything is disappearing, and they have time for a musical number!
In my opinion, honestly one of the best episodes of anything ever made. And you can even watch it on youtube right now, because apparently, someone uploaded the whole episode.
