A crew of misfit outlaws wanders the galaxy in a living ship. Sound familiar? Doomed to live in the shadow of cable TV's science fiction class act Farscape, the Canadian-German coproduction Lexx takes a completely different trajectory as a tongue-in-cheek, sci-fi sex farce. Sad sack pilot Stanley Tweedle, coquettish love slave Xev, reanimated corpse Kai, and lovesick robot head 790 wander the galaxy looking for food, people, and (most importantly) a little nookie. Shot on the cheap with loads of flashy (if often unconvincing) digital effects and a rather claustrophobic series of studio-bound sets, the show launched with a quartet of TV movies before settling into a weekly series with its second season. Mantrid launches the Lexx into a funhouse galaxy of wacky worlds, where the dreaded insect king awakes and begins his bizarre reign of terror. Terminal takes them to a mercenary deep space hospital where the doctors' specialty is saving the patient's money and discarding the useless body. The hilarious Lyekka guest stars Stephen McHattie as a drawling, hick astronaut and introduces the pixielike Lyekka, a curvy little plant girl with an insatiable appetite for human flesh (bye-bye astronauts), but most importantly it replaces platinum blonde Eva Haberman with the impishly flirtatious, full-lipped redhead Xenia Seeberg, the show's instant cult pinup queen. Just so its audience wouldn't get the wrong idea, Luvliner drops the crew into a dilapidated deep space cathouse.

Each DVD features a different 10-minute, behind-the-scenes featurette, short cast and creator interviews, and a chapter of Rated LEXX, a TV special created for the Sci Fi Channel to introduce the characters and recap the origins. --Sean Axmaker
