Max Headroom (1987) TV Series
-
Just got the box set[^] in the mail last weekend. Sadly, it does not include the 1985 UK movie, but the first episode is a somewhat sanitized remake with some recasting. So far, I've watched the first season and the first episode of season two. Great series. It almost doesn't need the Max Headroom character. He's underused in most S1 episodes and nearly absent from the S2 opener. The writing and effects remind me of Dr. Who and Brazil in a number of ways. If anyone knows where I can get a legal DVD of the original movie, I'd love to find it. VHS copies are available from Amazon, but I don't have the equipment anymore for transferring VHS to DVD. :( Flynn

Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads
