(Found) Do you remember the name of this tv show?

[Hartley Hare Two]

It was on about 12 years ago and was really weird. It was set on a spaceship and the main character was a pale dead man who looked a bit like Marilyn Manson. It was called something like Hexx or Zax I think. Any ideas? Thanks.

A little research reveals that this is probably Lexx, with which I am completely unfamiliar.

The character you mention seems to be Kai.

Kai died 2008 years before the events of the Lexx premiere episode

Great show for late night TV here in the UK

there were two lead actresses during its tenure; can't remember their names, and I never managed to watch the final few episodes. But it was awesome for all that.

Thanks Victoria, that's it. They used to show it here in the UK at 4 am, and I stumbled across it when I couldn't sleep. It's really trippy.

Yeah Lexx was great, for a couple of seasons at least! I wasn't a fan of the later season set on earth though..

Zev/Xev was the female lead, the actress changed at some point during the run! I remember the talking head computer-head 790, and Kai was a former assassin for his divine shadow.

Not sure how it would hold up to rewatching now, but it was fun at the time, as you guys say it was very late night entertainment!
