It really depends on your definition of “magic”.
At least, there’s a whole bunch of things that seem magical in the Lexx.
In my opinion, there’s much more Fantasy than SF in the Lexx. But most “fantasy” things you encounter are disguised in a SF terminology.
Bio-viziers instead of necromancers, life essence instead of soul and such…
Strictly speaking – it’s all magic disguised as science disguised as magic. (Am I clear?)
Above all, it’s fun…:-)
As for what iStan wrote – the typical lexxic way is to be sceptical about everything…:-)
These space-operas and their evil twins are actually all magic.
At least, if you define magic as some power/skill/something that you cannot understand or explain. And, being convinced that all is subjective and objectivity is an illusion – I stick to this subjective definition of magic.

(Time Prophet, life essences, SPEAKING STARS, weird theatres appearing out of nowhere – magical enough from my subjective point of view… 😉 )
If you get into that “different non-human being with different kind of abilities” thing, than you’ll undoubtedly admit, that there’s no magic in The Sandman comics or D&D either…

But the only important thing is that The Lexx rocks. 😀
