Max Headroom has been quietly earning a loyal audience, and right now it's all available in the US on Hoopla. Matt Frewer leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.

Television networks battle one another in an unrelenting ratings war. Whoever controls the airwaves controls the dystopic world in which they broadcast. So when Network 23's star reporter, Edison Carter, uncovers a deadly secret that could shake up the station's dominion over its viewers, the only option is to eliminate Carter before he can make his story public. Matt Frewer and Chris Young lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (1987–1988), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Max Headroom genuinely rewarding — it shares something with Masters of Science Fiction but carves out its own territory entirely. The kind of genre television that makes you think as well as watch.
