Re:Hooking "on the fringe" viewers
Season 3 is indeed the most coherent and visually stunning section of Lexx, but while Battle is what peaked my interest in the series…. IWHS is what made me decide that lexx was the most original SciFi show I had ever seen.
The visual difference was apparent in the first 15 minutes of IWHS, the imagery was wonderful. Okay, I admit the robot image in the elevator got (and still gets) on my last nerve with the doll face and lips, but everything else was right on the money. I was indeed sucked in by the hero being killed in the first part of the show and was left going WTF, but then I was swept off to the rest of the story and thus a Lexx fan is born.
