Lexx EP 1: I Worship His Shadow

Lexx is a science fiction television series that originally aired on April 18, 1997, on Canada's Citytv as four made-for-TV movies. The series follows a group of mismatched individuals aboard the organic spacecraft Lexx as they travel through two universes and encounter planets, including a parody of Earth. The narrative includes irony, parody, and sex comedy, and explores ideas of fatalism, reincarnation, the afterlife, and the paradigm of good and evil.

The series is a Canadian and German co-production with some additional funding from Channel 5. Sci Fi Channel purchased the series from Salter Street Films and began airing episodes.

The Lexx is a massively powerful starship that was created as a flagship for His Divine Shadow to use on a universe-wide cleansing. It is the spiritual successor to the previous flagship the Megashadow (and its own predecessor the Foreshadow). The Lexx is described as the most powerful weapon of destruction in the two universes.

Lexx stars Brian Downey, Eva Habermann, Michael McManus, Ellen Dubin, Tim Curry, Doreen Jacobi, Rutger Hauer, Michael Habeck, Andy Jones, Malcolm McDowell, and Xenia Seeberg.

The series ran for four seasons with a total of 61 episodes.
