The Canadian-German co-production Lexx (1996-2002) is a sci-fi TV series that really polarises people. I think it's dark, richly imaginative, intelligent, crazy, sexy, sleazy, violent, outrageous, inspired, visually lush, funny and goofy and if you just go with the flow it’s an amazing ride.

The way it manages some topics is mindblowing. Stanley is your avatar and guide, but at the same time is a cowardly libidinous sexist egocentric good for nothing old geezer. Xev is eye candy, and sexually harassed in nearly all episodes, but at the same time is the most powerful, admirable and empowered character; her arc is a never ending battle against a world that demeans, abuses and tries to submit her. Everything has many levels; there are metaphors built over metaphors, many are obvious, others, not so much.
The show is a really goofy thing, has a weird sense of humour, and you need to ignore some things to enjoy it. Lots of things have aged poorly. But it is a wild ride into a really weird world of imagination and crazyness, rooted much more in subsconscious than in real world.
