My guilty pleasure back in the day was a show called Lexx. For weirdness alone, it is exactly what you'd expect from a Canadian/German co-production. For me, it was like the often incomprehensible translations of beautifully drawn European comics reprinted in Heavy Metal Magazine, and rather unlike any other TV show, scifi or otherwise at the time. You could never predict what would happen next on the show, genuine absurd surprise and novelty at most turns.

LEXX was never quite as enjoyable or quite as bonkers after they replaced Xenia Seeberg following the first four made for TV movies. That first one had me genuinely believing that Brian Bostwick was going to be the typical square jawed action hero of the show, with Brian Downey as his foil. Imagine if they had killed off the Robinsons or Captain Kirk in the pilot episode and suddenly you have a show starring Doctor Smith, an Orion Slave Girl, and Robbie the Robot's head.Comment
