I caught a few episodes of this on some TV channel about 15 years ago, always wondered what the hell I was watching.
Then recently I saw the DVD sets for sale on amazon, and season 1 went on my wish list.
Now I see them on netflix, so I watched the first ep last night.
So I guess this was a Showtime show, and I was hoping for more nudity than I got. It's sci fi, there's a bad guy called "The Shadow," and a handful of bumblers manage to stumble across and steal the Lexx... a massive ship that was designed to be the most destructive force in the universe. It is almost done growing when the show starts. I think they were feeding it executed prisoners to help it grow. Thousands a day.
Anyway, they steal it and make good their escape and that's episode 1.
Oh and one of the characters is dead, and another character was a really unattractive woman who was being punished for embarrassing her husband by being transmogrified into a really sexy pleasure slave but then oops during the transformation procedure a killer lizard ended up in the chamber with her and now she's really hot, slutty, and strangely dangerous.
