I really enjoyed the show, but I’d suggest checking out the original TV movie Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future first. It provides great context for the series and stands on its own as a unique piece of cyberpunk history. Last time I checked, it was available on YouTube
- joezydeco 2y agoTotally agree. 20 Minutes introduced the "Operator, get me out of here!" trope that showed up later in The Matrix... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZY-yQYVf38&t=825s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZY-yQYVf38&t=825s
- bitwize 2y agoMy parents named their car GPS "Mrs. Wiggins" after a Carol Burnett character. My wife set her GPS to use a British accent. Following in that tradition, we've named her GPS "Theora".
- technothrasher 2y agoThe first episode of the show is a remake of the original movie, with a different ending in order to springboard the further episodes. While I agree the movie is worth watching, you don't really need to watch it to get the context for the series.
- mulderc 2y agoI would say you don’t need the tv show, if you watched the movie. The movie is just superior to the tv show in every way imho.
