I tend to focus on things of exceptional quality, which, let’s face it, most films and TV series are somewhere between mediocre and crap. However, I do like to buy cult classics which most people haven’t heard of so I can introduce friends to these rare gems. One fantastic example is Lexx, a strange and sleazy comic science fiction series which is camp to the point of being homo-erotic, it boasts terrible acting, outrageous plots and the most sadistic bad guys ever to grace television. I mean “grace television” in the broadest possible meaning, as it was originally broadcast on Channel 5 at 3 o’ clock in the morning. That’s how popular it is.

I bought the first 3 seasons many years ago after downloading them via Morpheus, but the final season never got a UK release. However, I just found season 4 on unencrypted (region 0) DVD at cd-wow for £15!  This is only for hard-core fans, the show declined after the second season. If you’re going to watch it, get the first season and the Mantrid plot of season 2.

Anyway, thanks to this unencrypted worldwide release, not only will the publishers finally get paid, but the complete set will now proudly sit in my small but refined DVD collection.
