See title.
LEXX.
Low budget, Canadian sci-fi which is slapped together with duct tape, bad CGI, and every ounce of pure unadulterated horny that the 90’s could muster!
And it’s got Tim Curry!
I remember kind of loving but kind of hating Lexx, and always being incredibly confused about what the hell was going on.
The average LEXX fan! lmao
I dunno if they quality for lesser-known, but- Warehouse 13, Wonder Falls.
Seconding the joy that is Wonderfalls
I still want that second season man. The plots they described were probably a joke but they sounded amazing.
Mrs. Davis is weird and touching and fun, but nobody’s seen it
- Red Dwarf is a about a slacker in space
- Father Ted is a sitcom about three priests on a remote island in Ireland
- Black Books is a sitcom revolving around the social misfits in a book store
- Peep Show is about the life of two people where you can hear the protagonist’s thoughts
These are all quite old, so don’t expect 16:9 🤩
Peep Show has a very successful, long-running sequel called Would I Lie To You?
I would say that my favourite tv shows are probably just as known as my least favorite ones, but I’m not a very popular person so not many people have much reason to know about either.
cool story, bro.
Tough crowd.
Two more since we’re bringing up 90s shows: Space: Above & Beyond and Earth 2.
The first is about space Marines fighting an alien enemy. It’s gritty and dark with a pretty well fleshed-out universe complete with an AI rebellion, cloned soldiers, and awesome and pretty realistic space combat. CGI isn’t bad for the 90s either.
The second is about a group of colonists who are trying to find a new world since living on space stations is making their kids sick. They crash land due to sabotage, and find that the planet is home to two sentient species and a smattering of prisoners and former colonists. The cast includes Tim Curry and Clancy Brown before he was Mr. Krabs.
I feel like Space: Above and Beyond was a fever dream I had as a kid. That show is probably why I love Halo so much.
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. It requires you to watch till the end to get the full payoff and everything clicks together and makes sense but I thought it was fun and out there.
I recommend the books, they tell completely different stories. Though I haven’t read them since I was a teenager.
