Summary
The first season, debuting in Canada on April 18, 1997, consisted of four two-hour TV movies (sometimes screened as eight one-hour episodes), alternatively titled Tales from a Parallel Universe. However, some episode guides do not list the two-hour movies as a season but list the subsequent seasons as the first through third.
The second season consisted of twenty forty-five-minute episodes with an overall story arc concerning an evil scientist called Mantrid who proceeds to convert all matterin the “light” universe (the Light Zone) into one-armed “Mantrid drones“. Mantrid largely succeeds before he is defeated by the Lexx, but not without causing a Big Crunchthat results in sending the Lexx through a singularity to an alternate “dark” universe (the Dark Zone). >>>>>>>>MORE
