Lexx: Series 3, Vol. 1
Lexxdrifts into new territory in the third season when the giant  insect-ship and its motley crew awaken from a 4,000-year hibernation circling a  pair of planets locked in orbit and gripped in war. Hot-blooded Xev (Xenia  Seeberg, the show's answer to Angelina Jolie) falls for the cunning Prince  (sinister and seductive Nigel Bennett) of the desert planet Fire, while  dead-man-walking Kai is adopted by the passive, pleasure-loving inhabitants of cool,  clear Water. The four uncut episodes in this collection launch a season-long  interplanetary epic of love, war, betrayal, and seduction, the latter complete  with nudity unseen on TV broadcasts. The writing is inconsistent, but the goofy  humor and villainous plots add enough odd bounces to keep it interesting, and  the inventive set designs and digital effects (more imaginative than convincing)  create a unique world for the series. The final episode ends on a cliffhanger  concluded inLexx 3.2.--Sean Axmaker
