Lexx Series One - Episode One of Four Reviews
Lexx, one of the Greatest shows ever made: Series 1, Vol. 1
I am a huge fan of Lexx. I really think it is one of the best shows I've ever seen on TV. I got into it around the middle of the second season & became an addict after that. I have all of the DVD's & have seen every episode (even the movies) multiple times. I plan to review each DVD, each episode, one by one. So here's my review for Series 1, Volume 1
Episode 1.1: I Worship His Shadow -This is it, the beginning of the show Lexx. The first "season" consisted of 4 mini-movies & this is the first one in the series. A great first episode, where you learn about the history of the Kai, Stan & Xev. It's a long story but I'll try to summarize. Kai's people, the Brunnen-G, get destroyed by the Divine Shadow. Kai was killed and re-animated (with this stuff called Proto-Blood) & made into an assain for his shadow. Stan was a part of a group of heretics fighting against the Divine Shadow, but Stan got caught & lost some codes that ended up killing lots of his people, the Divine Order kept him around in case they ever needed more information & made him a lowly security guard on the cluster. Zev was deserted by her parents & put in a wife bank. She got sent to the cluster & was sentenced to become a love slave, but something went wrong & she became part Cluster Lizard. Basically this mini-movie shows all of this background, plus it shows how they 3 end up together & how they get the Lexx (The Lexx being the ship they fly in, it's a living Bug that need to eat & can blow up planets with ease. It was meant to be a weapon for his Divine Shadow). Of course stealing the Lexx makes The Divine Shadow mad & he chases after the crew. It's a great episode & really shows the history behind the show. It sets up the other min-movies & the series really well. It's a great story & I think the best of the 4 mini-movies of the first season. Check it out if you can, especially if you liked the series.

Buy it on DVD
If you only buy one DVD, from the entire series, make it this one. Unfortunetly, the first movie was only released on DVD in Canada. You'll want to return to this first episode again and again, if you're a Lexx fan. If you have not viewed any of the Lexx series from Showtime or SCI FI, then you NEED to see this first. It's well worth the wait to track down the DVD. What other series has you rooting for a chic that's half Cluster Lizard, a dead guy, an oversexed robot head and a cowardly captain? Live on Lexx, if only in late-night reruns!
