CHUD has been given a nice little exclusive on some news that should make sci-fi fans very happy. Lexx, that sexy sci-fi series from overseas, is coming to BIGSTAR.tv.
Lexx has a patchy DVD release on this side of the Atlantic. Only season 1 is readily available here in the US. Luckily, American Lexx fans have Hulu — but for Canadian and international audiences don’t have any digital streaming options. Until now. BIGSTAR will be making all four seasons available to stream to your preferred device no matter where in the world you live. Now you and your loved ones (a certain kind of loved one) can watch this kinky program together, among other BIGSTAR offerings.
I’ve attached the press release below. No need for me to gunk up their words and intentions! Enjoy, and thanks to BIGSTAR for the scoop.

I just wanna say that it's really very nice to have a prominent female voice on CHUD. I've been coming here for more than a decade now (yes: more than a decade, and yes: I'm a masochist), and the site has never had a Rappe-equivalent before. I like it. Girl geeks are a woefully under-represented slice of the geek population. Except those slave Leia wannabes. I wish they'd think about the sexual politics involved and maybe dress as Boushh instead.
"Lexx, that sexy sci-fi series from overseas"
I thought this show was mostly Canadian, with overseas investors putting up a significant portion of the budget?
You can stream all 4 seasons on Netflix as well.
This show was still running when I first really started watching the Sci-Fi channel regularly…the days of "Sci-Fi Friday" and long before the idiotic "SyFy" and the advent of pro-wrestling on the channel. I still only managed to see a few episodes, but I recall the uh…imagery being so explicit and obvious at points that I couldn't help but marvel that it was being broadcast on a non-premium cable network.
Now all that is missing is Cleopatra 2525, Jack of all Trades and Secret Adventures of Jules Verne
Very bizarre, but very fun show. They suffer from extended episode lengths in the later series. The first series takes some adjusting to the lo-fi style but it pays off with one of the best big-scale reveals in SF TV. The second season goes even crazier with an entire universe being destroyed.
That show was just one long, badly done sex joke masked as a sci-fi show.
I'm a huge sci-fi nerd, but I have standards. That shit was worse than Hercules or Xena.
Re: Comment #7… amen. This shite makes Benny Hill seem sophisticated.
JJJ3… You sir/madam are an imbecile, who has clearly based their appraisal of Lexx (one of the most interesting, and subversive science fiction shows in TV history) on the cursory knowledge that it contains a bit of nudity and innuendo here and there. Far from being a "badly done sex joke masked as a sci-fi show" Lexx managed to combine truly weighty and epic sci-fi themes with humour and irreverence in a way that hasn't been seen since Douglas Adams or more recently Red Dwarf. Kai Xev Stan and 790 and the Lexx itself are as good a core group of characters as you will find in any space opera. Watch the entire Mantrid and Fire and Water arcs and tell me its one big sex joke…. and while you're at it I'd advise that you completely re-think your life and world view, and learn the first tenet of criticism: To not judge that which you have not seen
Well said Dr. Gubafish. I'm re-watching the series on Netflix now, and I'm always amazed how endlessly creative it is, and yes I do appreciate the weird humor and the acknowledgment of sexuality, which is usually entirely missing in the comparatively bland Star Gate and Trek franchises. If the show was guilty of anything it was trying to do more than it could with meager budgets, but its a grand and entertaining show, even after all these years.
I watched Lexx from the beginning, when it was first on SHOWTIME.. Am I the only one who remembers them on that channel?.. As a matter of fact it was one of the perks about showtime..
Its like when the transformers were first on the DISNEY channel….
@ Comment #6: Jack of All Trades at the very least is available on Hulu.
I love this show, I have all but the last season on DVD. I didn't like the last season nearly as much but the final episode was great
