I mean, everyone's entitled to their own tastes. I've got my own guilty pleasures that I can readily admit aren't widely liked - the old TV series "Lexx", for example. Whenever I talk about that one I open with "Let me be clear that I'm not actually recommending this." :)

I tried, and bounced off Lexx. And just went right on back to Farscape. Which...

Small band of misfit/outlaw aliens traveling in a living space ship having adventures and misadventures, both made as two-nation collaborations. And I'm not sure why I liked one and not the other.

Well, Lexx has a very different vibe to it. I would add "thinks it's soft-core porn but it's awkward and nobody actually gets lucky" to Lexx's version of that description. :)

Yeah Farscape didn't mind being sexy sometimes, but it never felt like it was trying to be whacking material.
