Sexy, smart, and wholly unpredictable after the stylish achievement of Series 3, Lexx kicks off its fourth go-round with a daring idea. After breaking away from dueling planets Water and Fire, the strange antiheroes of Lexx drop into the middle of America's cultural and political pathologies. Thus we find pouty-lipped Xev (Xenia Seeberg), raised in a box to be a slavishly accommodating lover to men, ironically plunged into the lesbian hysteria of a Texas women's prison and later unable to convince a gun-toting, trailer-park mama's boy to bed down with her. Meanwhile, Kai (Michael McManus), Last of the Brunnen-G, grows mired in the stupidity of a doomsday cult, and neurotic Stan (Brian Downey) gets trapped in the machinations of Prince (Nigel Bennett), the former Fire ruler who now runs an imperial ATF out of Washington. Ridiculous, funny, surprisingly poignant, Lexx still insinuates powerful character arcs into its goofy mix. --Tom Keogh

4 out of 5 stars USA at it's...best?.......2003-02-25

Beginning with a comical account of how the USA's government agencies "keep the faith" of the people,(i.e killing off anyone who can be seen as dangerous), Lexx fans are reunited with Prince, the evil ruler of the planet Fire from Season 3. Now an ATF agent, Prince basically controls the presidency (as well as the entire counrty) and characters from seasons 2 and 3 are once again resurrected (remember Brock from Gametown and Prince's stooge Priest?) to start off the fourth season. Highly entertaining and incredibly funny, the show picks up right where it left off.In "Little Blue Planet" Priest becomes the president of the United States, Lexx eats a South American rain forest, and Prince sends three Russian killers, who are obsessed with fingernails, up to the Lexx. In "Texx Lexx" Kai and Xev get separated on Earth, while Stan underestimates Prince and ends up a prisoner of the ATF. Xev is so desperate she's willing to have sex with even the grungiest of old men and Kai runs into a goofy cult. In "P4X" Xev is seuxally exploited by that weird girl from Twilight (Season 2), later is rescued by Kai, and Prince tries to get the key from Stan with a rather interesting result. Stan finally escapes in "Stan Down" with the help of Priest, who wants the presidency for himself and is sick of his wife's complaining. His wife (think Love Grows and, I think, Twilight) finds out the hard way that Prince is not to be reckoned with as Prince, Priest, and the first lady all go for a nice ride on famous little street in Dallas.

1 out of 5 stars Final disintegration of LEXX.......2003-02-23

In series 4, the writers of LEXX ill-advisedly abandoned their early commitment to avoiding earth, with REALLY boring results. From the stunning and artistic special effects of the first series to the pedestrian world of TV sitcoms, dufuss politicians, and landscapes at best like Lodi on a bad day, is a long way to plunge. The only good thing to be said is that they at least blow everything up at the end. Series 1 is stupendous, and series 2 and 3 are excellent. Avoid series 4.
