Lexx
Finally started watching this, after having it on the shelf since about 2002.
Let me get this out of the way: this is classic bad sci-fi, cheesy as hell. But it's fun, and the actress who plays the original Zev (I'm still watching season one) is stunning. Shame they had to replace her in season two.
Apart from Zev, you have to admire the Lexx, a miles-long intelligent (but not exactly bright) organic spaceship that demolishes entire planets and uses the debris as a delousing spray.
Here, I'll let Lexx tell you the story.

The original mini-series was gloriously cheesy sci-fi with some glorious cheesecake in the person of Eva Habermann. Xenia Seeberg grows on you after a while, but she just doesn't stack up to the original.
Sadly, when they expanded it to a real series, the writing went from cheesy-bad to just plain bad. And Nigel Bennett sleepwalked through the way-too-many episodes he was in.

Yeah, I'm into season two now, and while it hasn't devolved completely as yet, it's not the same. And Xev is attractive enough, but she's no Zev.
One point in its favour is that it has some sense of scale. When the heretics' rebellion was put down by His Shadow, 685 billion people died. Compare that to the absurdity of Stargate Atlantis, where the entire Pegasus Galaxy appears to have a population numbering in the tens of thousands...
