Lexx (Seasons 1–4)

Lexx (1997) is a darkly comic space opera you can watch online on iFILM. At its heart is a living starship the size of a city — grown as a bio-weapon that cracks planets open with a single shot, then eats the rubble for fuel.

The crew flying it is the unlikeliest in either universe. Stanley Tweedle, a cowardly security guard who ends up in command by accident. Kai, a reanimated assassin and the last of the Brunnen-G, carrying two thousand years of memory. Zev, a love-slave reshaped by a botched machine, and 790, a severed robot head hopelessly besotted with her. Together they flee His Divine Shadow and the Holy Order that rules twenty thousand planets.

This Canadian–German production from Salter Street Films began in 1997 as four feature-length films, then unfolded into four seasons that ran through 2002. Cheap, deliberately weird and often genuinely filthy, it built a stubborn cult following precisely because it looks and behaves like nothing else on television.
