Lexx is a Canadian science fiction show that may take it for weirdest television I've ever seen. There's this thing about it that has happened with everyone I know who's watched it where the first time you watch an episode of it, you hate it desperately and without limit, and then if corralled into watching a second ep or even the one you originally saw a second time you inexplicably find it hilarious. I have only watched seasons three and four, not that that matters.
The best way to describe the premise, which is not terribly accurate, is to say that the Lexx is a giant semi-sentient spaceship superweapon which was swiped by its janitor, Stanley H. Tweedle, and then taken to a different universe when he destroyed the first one by mistake. His shipmates are Kai, an undead warrior from a wiped-out culture called the Brunnen-G who is made entirely of awesome (and frightening hair), and Xev, who is part cluster lizard and therefore a woman who cannot decide whether she wants a boyfriend or just to keep eating people.

Did I mention it's Canadian?
Also, there's a musical episode.
A not impressive shot of Kai and his hair. He once jumps from a spaceship onto a continent without mussing it.

I would theoretically have words with which to respond to this recommendation but I think they were already all eaten by The Hair.
