About 8 years ago, I happened to catch an episode of Lexx on the SciFi Channel, and was immediately captivated by its twisted cast of characters and the incredibly weird universe they inhabit. The show deals with the adventures of the motley crew of the Lexx, a living spaceship capable of destroying planets, then eating the leftovers. The plots are brimming with brilliant concepts, quirky humor and kinky sexual situations, like the romantic triangle between the undead assassin, Kai, the decapitated head of lovesick robot 790, and Zev, a hot babe who's half cluster lizard. The show lasted 4 seasons, and got pretty much unwatchable (in my opinion) towards the end, but series 1 and 2 were more focused, and dealt primarily with the battle between the crew of the Lexx and the evil and mysterious alien, His Shadow, who rules over their universe.

Seasons 2 through 4 are available on DVD here in the US, but season 1, which consisted of four 2-hour television movies, seems to only be available in Germany. If you're a diligent googler, you can find most of season 1 on YouTube and DailyMotion, where I managed to scrounge up three-fifths of the first episode, I Worship His Shadow. Enjoy, meatbags!
