    I only just started watching Lexx (free on Fawesome), movies 1 & 2. What’s the issue with the series?

      Well, lexx is trashy to begin with but the series just really sucks in comparison.

      But go ahead, feel free to explore. In my opinions it’s one of the things that makes the former worse by existing.

          That’s fair to think there was only a series because after the movies were done and the series came out they cut the movies into series length episodes too (now the movies are season 1 - I don’t know if that was the plan from the beginning).

          Maybe some countries then also only got that format. Anyhow the movies were the ones with Eva Habermanm as Zev, so thats how you can easily distinguish them.

          Since the movies were produced in part with German involvement we got them long before the series in our TV (I think it was the channel vox) and at that time it was something to look forward to as a scifi fan.

            Sort of. Season 1 was always intended to be a miniseries. The plan was to use the miniseries to get a series greenlit. I’m not aware of them being chopped up into 45 minute episodes but that sounds horrible and I hope it’s not true.

            Thanks for the heads up.

            I should have guessed it was trashy, in the UK it was shown on Channel 5, the home of trash.
